I've mapped the ministick on my Throttle (T16000) to the Radar Control Handle.

 

When I move the ministick up (away from the desktop table, heading to the roof), I move the radar circle marker also up (towards the HUD). This is how I set it up at all my modules and the way it feels right for me. But at the Viggen, the slewing of the Rb75 is going in the wrong direction.

 

In the Hornet:

I move the stick up -> Radar TDC goes up (towards HUD) -> AGM65 goes up (towards sky)

 

In the Viggen, it is a little bit messed up:

I move the stick up -> Radar circle marker goes up (towards the HUD) -> RB75 goes down (towrds ground)

 

 

So is this a bug, or am I useing the radar control handle in the wrong direction?

If second, could you be so kind to implement a feature to reverse the direction of the Mav?

 

Thank you very much, this would be really helpful!

The current implementation makes sense when used with a stick positioned like in a real Viggen.

 

Controlling a Mav is like flying a plane, push forward to look down.

Controlling a radar cursor is like, well, controlling a mouse cursor. Push forward to move cursor up.

Yeah, thats probably true and I'm aware that this whole forward up/down thing is probably a general "problem" regarding anything that has to do with aircrafts...

 

However, I'm sure 99% of use will use a Ministick like the one on the T16000 throttle or the Warthog throttle and everyone has to find a setup that feels comfortable to him. And as long as there is no real Viggen cockpit used, there is probably no right or false...

 

TL;DR:

Heatblur, could you please implement the function to swap directions of the Rb75 slew control for up/down? As it then would work the same way as in the Hornet, it would feel quite fine...

i bought the Viggen yesterday and yes i think it's great idea to have function like that in the options menu.

 

 

At first i thought i had screwed my controls for some reason

Why can't you just invert the axis? It's in the same options page as you set axis curves.

 

 

 

sure i can, then the radar up/down will be inverted and the maverick slew would be correct

Ok, sorry I didn't read carefully enough.

 

I've tested this myself now and I see what you're saying.

 

I have the t16k too, but I have the radar stick bound to the upper four way hat on the throttle. The ministick I use for the 05 (of course, duh ;)).

 

Anyway, the reason I didn't understand what you were saying is that the behaviour is not the same on the hat as on the stick. When I push hat forward the radar marker goes down, and so does the maverick. Whereas they go in opposite directions if I use the stick, as you describe.

 

Looks like a bug, imo.

And again, you can just invert any axis.
And again, that doesn't do you much good when the same axis controls two things (radar and maverick) and they go in opposite directions.
