Yesssss!!! I have just discovered the Loach released by tobi-be https://github.com/tobi-be/DCS-OH-6A/releases/tag/v1.5 THANK you so very much. The H500C was used here in New Zealand extensively by many of us. It is the sports car of helicopters.

just to be clear... i am not talking about DCS here. I am talking about the VKB dev config software EXTERNAL DEVICES. There is a TAB where it looks like other controllers can be added?? Is this correct? How?

hahaha.. that wasnt very helpful on my behalf!! I meant INDEX finger.... anyhow its the DC/GUN ministick

Can I add my homemade Controllers (leo bodnar board) via the vkbconfig software EXTERNAL DEVICES ? I would love to have the functionality of the button software

Will Flashing my MGC PRO kill all my keybinds in DCS?

That was Incredibly useful for me too. Thankyou!. NOW... next question please: Can I change the function of a ministick 'center press' to act as a SHIFT? Looking at the VKBconfig manual I see how to change a regular 'B' button but not a ministick....?? In particular I want to use the pinky ministick on the MGC PRO

Thank you. Very helpful video. I must re flash my controller as it has obviously been updated...

Thanks ! That did it. I swear i never downloaded that module but it was certainly in there! no more annoying stoppages during bootup. appreciated

I would love to see your clean template but it says the file no longer exists. Would you mind sending it via a PM please?

Im getting two popup screens which halt the DCS boot sequence. They refer to a Mirage 2000 which as far as I know I have never purchased... how can I stop them? Updates haven't fixed it. been going on for over a year now so thought i would do something about it!

F16 NWS switch... I am used to the F18 NWS button which is HELD for operation. I want to map the F16 the same as it seems to be a latch On then latch again OFF type. The F16 default lua looks like it should work just like the F18...?? Why the difference and what to do? F18: { down = hotas_commands.STICK_UNDESIGNATE, up = hotas_commands.STICK_UNDESIGNATE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Undesignate/Nose Wheel Steer Switch'), category = {_('Stick'), _('HOTAS')}}, F16: { down = hotas_commands.STICK_NWS_AR_DISC_MSL_STEP, up = hotas_commands.STICK_NWS_AR_DISC_MSL_STEP, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('NWS A/R DISC MSL STEP Button'), category = {_('Stick'), _('HOTAS')}},

Given that the button only activates when its up, Can you guys explain how to get the flip trigger to be MASTER SAFE when up and MASTER ARM when down. its obviously a ON-ELSE OFF command but how ? lua or vkbcfg? examples please

Please show how you did this. Many thanks please show how

Thank you FREDERF!. That one worked (once I put the comma in at the end of your code ;-). Although for the life of me i can not see why mine didnt...?! it is an exact cut and paste of the default format using all the EXACT grammer as yours. The only difference being the name=. If you happen to have the F86 and F5, could you possibly try one for those?

I can not get my usual default.lua mod to work on the F16 Speed Brake. I want to make it EXTEND while pressed and RETARCT while released. The additional line 'name' I create (SPD BRK Switch - TOGGLE) will not even show in the control assignment. I have also tried renaming one of the existing assignments but that wont show either..? Here is my code added below the default in BOLD: { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('SPD BRK Switch - Aft/EXTEND (Momentary)'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('SPD BRK Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('SPD BRK Switch - Fwd/RETRACT'), { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('SPD BRK Switch - TOGGLE'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},
