My Squadron could use something like this. I think open source could be important so it could be modded to different uses, depending on what the squad considers important. I know very little about Java, but would like this one to continue. Maybe it is just early days for others yet!!

Another vote for combat tactics. I know how the systems work, but would like to learn how to deploy them by the book...or at least closer to it.

Thanks! This will save me some work.

Can't wait for this one....looks great so far.

I hear you. I'll probably switch it back to the hat, now that it is apparent that there is no advantage to using the analog mini-stick. I wonder why the mini-stick axis is not recognized in the game as an axis, even when it is set to act as one in the Saitek software?

I didn't realize that hitting two of the buttons at once led to a diagonal being entered...even though I remember that now from LOMAC and remember reading that on here at one point. That works quite well, the only thing that isn't the best is the slew speed does not respond like it would if it was on an analog axis and like it does in LOMAC (increased input=faster slew). It is still just the bands replicating digital button presses, which was what I wanted to avoid if possible. Not a deal breaker though, so thanks for steering me in the right direction on the diagonal thing.

I know that there are two recent threads pertaining to this loosely, but I am wondering how/if I can setup the SHKVAL slew to the X-52 mini-stick as I could the TDS in LOMAC. I don't want bands and can't seem to set it up as a mouse and modifier as someone else suggested. I went into the 'Axis Commands' and attempted to bind the 'Absolute' values to the mini-stick in the 'Add Assignment Panel', but the axis was not recognized. I then tried all Axis' listed manually, as their designations in game are not descriptive. When tested, none worked. This was with it programmed as an axis in the Saitek software. I then tried setting it up as a mouse in the Saitek software. This was not an option either. I noticed that there is no option to bind it to the mouse in the controls section of the sim...this area does not have an input box. This leads me to believe that the mouse cannot be used for the slew as it could in LOMAC...probably something to do with the clickable cockpit? Anyhow, am I missing something or is this not possible? I'll look into the helmet targeting thing (O key) and TrackIR or whatever, but want to know if the mini-stick can be used in this manner. The hat is just not working for me as it can't do diagonals and is somewhat awkward to use in the heat of battle. By the way, the sim is something else. I can't believe the level of detail..great work to all involved! :thumbup:
