I’ve wired a micro switch to a handle that replicates an ejection handle on a jet. It works PERFECTLY but since DCS mandates the switch be activated three times it just doesn’t work in the game. So “just use the mouse”. Doesn’t solve my problem since it’s not what I’m going for
I know I can re-map it, but I still have to press the switch three times in a VERY SHORT period of time. Can we have an option for just one press ??
There appears to be NO WAY to map it to a single Action, switch or key. It always requires the key/switch to be actuated three times..
Is there any way the f16 and p51, rear view command (F4) could actually view the rear ??
Also, since VR is be becoming ever more common, can we please have a single press command (instead of 3) for an ejection ?
Thank you...
As I’m building my sim pit, I wired a switch to the armrest so when I pull it up it will act as an ejection handle, “pretty clever” so I thought !
However in DCS you have to hit it 3 times quickly, which is impossible the way I have it rigged.
Is there anyway to make the ejection work with a single throw of a single long arm micro switch ?? Or did I totally waste my time and money ??
Do we have the ability to jettison just the fuel tanks ?
I’ve gone to SJ, highlighted the tanks, pressed weapons release and nothing,,,
If I hit the emergency jettison, I loose all my A2G,
Thanks to all who reply....
I’m really interested in a haptic seat for my simpit.
Problem is that I only found two companies that make them.
Andres but he is currently not shipping to the US and his new “Jetpad” looks horrible.
The other is realtus , but they seem like a scam. Everybody says don’t buy because you won’t get it and refunds/customer service is impossible.
After reaching out, I got this from realtus, would you trust it and buy ???
I switch to AA mode or dogfighting,
The screen pops up on the MFD that indicates which missile I have selected.
I press Inventory and then SMS to try and get back to the missile selection screen but no luck.
When in SMS, how do you get back to the weapon selected screen ?
When firing the 120, in ACM , RWS or TWS, Or even dog fight, I can’t seem to figure out the “hit probability” indicator. Like o the f15 there is a bar on the right side of the hud that slides down the better the odds of a kill.
I’ve tried looking but this seems to escape me,
Thanks to all who reply
Just when I thought I was done......
Well I decided to try and build a switch box. I. Pretty good with electrical stuff and soldering but I can’t cut a piece of lexan or metal to save my life !
Has anybody found a metal (or other material) suitable for building switches ? Not worried about the color since i can always paint it, measurement would be approximately 10 by 7 inches, with about a 2 1/2 inch height. I can’t find anything useable anywhere !
Also, I have searched high and low for momentary metal switches . Not push down, but switches like a toggle switch that bounce back to the off position. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it !
Thanks
I bought the f16 as my first full module (f15 and a10a) since I was stationed at an f16 base back when I was with the USAF.
I was expecting a flyable enjoyable flight sim, what the hell ..
How did this make it out to the public ?
With the current IA, just crashing into each other on the taxi way, this game is now unplayable.
I had just bought the red flag campaign and I literally can’t get off the ground, because of seemingly zombie like stupidity on the part of my flight pilots.
Any idea when this will be corrected and I can get back to flying DCS ?
And no, I don’t want to download a previous version, I’m no where near savy enough to do that and 8 shouldn’t have to..
Thanks to all who reply.
