Interesting, thanks.

Ive seen some diagrams of the stick and throttle, but neither seem to have a button to change weapons (like from IR to SAR missiles).

Thanks! And there shouldnt be an issue with windows reassigning different device ids for my hotas?

Im going to reformat and reinstall windows. Im worried that after I reformat the device ID will change and any backups I make wont work?

Yes it does. Apparently it registers a button click when the switch flips up and when it flips down. i meant maybe not possible due to the keybinds we have available in DCS itself.

hmm that doesnt sound possible to map with the Virpil CM2

What does bringing it down activwte, cannons or missle? Im trying to map it to my soon to arrive virpil CM2 stick and want to get it like the real thing, if possible

Is it like the KA-50 where you drop a secondary trigger down to activate "cannon mode" and push that trigger in to fire the cannon? And the "main trigger" is used for missiles?

So, i was thinking. IMO the perfect place to have something like this is in the role select screen. You select your plane, and next to the briefing button, when you are getting ready to jump into pit, add a button that says "Waypoints". You click it and you get a view of the map where you can designate your waypoints. You confirm in that screen, go to the pit and fly away. I admire heatblurs method of allowing you to change on the fly, but interface wise, you really dont need anything more complicated than what I just mentioned. Surely this is something that can be addressed relatively quickly? Its a huge core feature.

Yeah I saw that but it doesnt say what that switch on the stick does

So I recognize the autopilot level, autopilot cancel as well as the designator HAT and trimmer. But what about the switch in the middle that looks like it has 3 positions? I think on the top it says "C-60" or something? Anyone know what those do? Also I dont see a brake lever on the stick in game. Does it use toe brakes irl? Trying to set mine up as close to reality as possible!

hmm i saw that i thought it was for selective jettison

Im looking in the german manual http://airspot.ru/book/file/1058/Flight_manual_MIG-29.pdf , and I can't find out where the pilot selects what weapons/pylons/missiles to use. I see the dial used for switching between Nav/Radar/Helmet/EO, but theres nothing on the HOTAS to say...switch from R-73 to whatever other missile is loaded. Or to switch from rocket pods to guns. Anyone have any idea how this is done IRL?

thanks

thats interesting, do you have a source with more detail? So that means the MiG29 has no way of changing its flight plan at all midflight? No adding waypoints or anything?

Any word from ED on cooperation with the dev of this mod?

Please ED implement this officially as a setting! I miss pre-2.5 VR so much

Yes and I have tried multiple combinations of settings.

I'm in VR and I cant even see the KC-130 thats maybe 200 meters away from me. It LITERALLY disappears. And this is NOT a vr problem, because its not any better on a 2d monitor at 1920x1080. Its actually almost exactly the same. The issue is not resolution. Ive tried both in VR AND on a 2d monitor in MANY scenarios. Cant see ground targets in the KA50 either, I have to rely on drawing their fire and see where the tracers are coming from. Please, can you introduce some sort of smart scaling? As far as im concerned, this should literally be priority number 1.
