Quirkitized Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) So being a longtime saitek user I was sad to see how the TARGET software is (at least imo.) I missed the easy ability to config the controller, so after trying to mess around with the software I gave up. All I wanted to do was make my pinky lever a modifier so I could double all the buttons on my hotas. In the end I can't believe it was so simple, overlooked it easily. It is a shame because by default there is no modifier on the joystick, but here you can easily add it manually. 1. Goto Options > Controls 2. Bottom left corner, click MODIFIERS 3. It will be grayed out by default but you can still click it, simply click ADD. Select the TM Warthog Joystick and add "JOY_BTN4" as your modifier (or hit the button you want to be the modifier) This works because by default, Joy_BTN4 the pinky lever is not keybound to anything, and it is in a very good spot for a modifier button. You should now be able to use your pinky lever as a shift/modifier, effectively doubling all your TM Warthog buttons. This is so simple and easy, you can just config your buttons in-game, no extra software needed! Simply hit the pinky lever before you keybind a new button to your stick so it will use it as a modifier. I can now enjoy mapping my landing gear, wheel brake, external views or anything! For me it was really great for those buttons plus the zooming in and out because the TM Warthog does not have a easy thumb rotatory. So what I did was mapped the zoom in (num*) to the pinky + DMS UP and zoom out (num/) pinky + DMS Down, just like the zoom in/out for the TGP so it's very natural. Just an example, as I think a lot of people aren't sure what to map the zoom to also. Edited February 27, 2011 by Quirkitized 2

Quirkitized Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) All I had to do was click the Modifier button in the options of DCS-A10 and press the button I wanted to use as a modifier. Took 3 seconds and didnt have to modify any LUA's I tried that but it didn't work for me :( Edit: Oh damnit, it was grayed out so I didn't even bother clicking it because I thought it didn't work...why does it have to be grayed out! You are right sir! I will update the original post to reflect the changes you said. Edited February 27, 2011 by Quirkitized
desmoflex Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) hi guys, need your help. as described in this thread i setup S4 (paddle) as modifier. i the then wanted to use mic up on throttle to zoom in slow. controller in options shows the right details but it does not work. using LWIN as e.g. modifier works perfectly. any ideas? thx much for your feedback flex solved: i did the setup of the S4 as modifier in the right part of the modifier dialog. i should have done that in the left hand screen - modifier. dumb.... :doh: but anyway... problem is finally solved...

johnnyxtheman Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 ["LAlt"] = {key = "LAlt", device = "Keyboard", switch = true}, << must set to "false " and it won't stick anymore , i had this a long time ago whit the a 10c and workd because of this without any problems
Sokol1_br Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 1. Goto Options > Controls 2. Bottom left corner, click MODIFIERS And case you may dont notice, the "SWITCHES" at side can be used for "modes". E.G. add some joy button (or key - ScrLk is nice option due the LED) as "SWITCHES", press that button you are in "Mode2", press again you return to mode 1. This required that for all functions that joy button will execute in "Mode2" have this "SCHITCHES" button/key as modifier. "SWITCHES" is a permanent modifier.
