Hello, i'm not sure if it's here where i need to ask or request(?) this, but i'm sorry if it isn't. I don't have a physical throttle, trackir or anything like that, just a basic joystick and i use my mouse for the camera movement with a lot of key combinations between those two. For a long time i've been searching for a way of using my mouse wheel as the throttle (because as you know, an axis is way more precise than pressing a button which basically renders vertical landing on any aircraft impossible) and bind a key on my joystick for a "quick zoom", but i never found a way of doing it. I know that "quick zoom" does not exist in DCS. IL-2: Great Battles, has those two options and they help me a lot for control and situational awareness without awkward key bindings. I just want to know if anyone knows a not-that-frustrating way of doing it - at least the throttle thing since the quick zoom -i assume- needs to be added to the sim. OR BETTER, if there would be a possibility to ask ED to add them to the key binding, but i don't know if they would do it or well.. i don't even know if it's possible to request them things like that. I would really love to have that option like we do in IL-2 and i think it would help a lot for those who are starting and don't have better hardware like a HOTAS or TrackIR. After using IL-2: GB, it's really hard to go to DCS and have to deal with that "awkward" control setup that i need to use because of my hardware limitations and i won't be able to obtain the hardware necessary in a couple of years, so i don't have much of a choice with the sim restrictions and my own, and i love this sim, but yeah... that's the only thing making it worse for me. So any suggestions would be appreciated, and if it's possible to ask ED to add them, i would really like to know how to request it. Anyway, if someone reads this, thanks. Also, english is not my first language so yeah, i'm sorry if i made any mistakes.

With that, I was referring to the current 430 on the L39, not the real one. This is a sim which we use for entertainment man, not a training sim used in aviation so, for practical reasons, we could "oversimplify" the real wiring and just play along - as we do with the Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft. Look, I'm not an aeronautical engineer, i do not speak Czech (or whatever the hell the original manuals language is) nor i have those Czechoslovakian* documents but the same as above, this is an entertainment sim for us. It would be ok for me if they implement the 430 into the current HSI, I don't care. The only thing I care for is that it works. If they have the documents and they decide to make those changes in the cockpit that will require more work than needed, it's more than ok to me. It's just for entertainment. Glad I asked for this. And what i am saying is that we are ok with the FC3 aircraft, this is not a training sim. Okay, I made a lot of mistakes here and ignored things about the sim and a lot more about this community so yes, my bad. I did not think it twice before posting that question because its pointless, the module is on Early Access. Won't do it again. Thank you anyways. Thank you, its good to learn something about this community and its ok, sometimes I do that too.

Yes, modding is a bit weird and stressful but it's a temporary solution until they complete the module haha. But yes, hopefully, one day... I read the same and I felt cheated or something like that but then, I realized that it was an Early Access so I cannot judge the product for what it is at this moment so, thinking about it, the question I asked is pointless right now. haha. Sorry.

The good thing for us is that a cockpit rework isn't completely needed. But, i have no idea of the quantity of luck we have so they do some coding with the option I mentioned before. :/ Jester986, what I did so I can make VOR and ILS approaches in NTTR is create some RSBN navaids above the existing ones and it worked quite well. Is not that hard if you really wanna try. ;) Another really bad thing is that we wont be able to do IFR Procedures even if we tried in the Caucasus Map because it lacks a LOT of navaids and a couple or runways (URKG is one) are not in the real place so we cannot use current Jeppesen Charts. : (

You can have two VOR receivers and use just one HSI or VOR instrument. Although, you have to change the radio in use, you can't use both at the same time (obviously) so in theory, it would be possible to use RSBN and VOR frequencies with a single HSI. The only problem in real life is the range of the frequency but the HSI has nothing to do with receiving it, so it doesn't matter haha - I guess. Aside from the esthetic, the HSI of this L39 works in the same way as the "western" HSI, so it would be possible to use the same. If you ask me, I haven't read all the FAR so I don't know if it is an obligation to use the "Western" HSI but if it isn't, using that soviet HSI with VOR wouldn't be a violation of the FAA regulations and the instrument scan remains the same.;)

Well, you just push the VLOC button for the HSI to display VOR frequencies or use GPS fixes and the GPS Mode doesn't use the HSI so, if we turn off the RSBN and have VLOC Mode on the 430, it should be able to display what the 430 has and, if we have the 430 in GPS Mode plus the RSBN - ON, we should be able to use RSBN frequencies. I don't know, maybe it would be a bit unrealistic although I've seen weird things when it comes to switching options for the navigational instruments in general aviation.

Hi, I'm not sure if its here where I have to ask this but, at some point, will we be able to use VLOC with the HSI of the L39? I know its on 'Early Access' stage but I couldn't find info about that feature being simulated with the L39 systems but maybe I'm just really bad at finding things and I tried a couple of times setting a VOR instead of using RSBN, but it seemed like it didn't even work as a VOR receiver and the instruments of the aircraft ignored the 430 as if it was some GPS device with no connection with the aircraft itself. Does anybody know something? If it won't be possible then, it is a bit useless and worthless. I would love to use the equipment as we use it in real life and practice instrument procedures with the Albatros at the NTTR. I hope its just a missing function at this time —or that I don't know how to use it correctly.
