LOGITECH_G15_KEYBOARD

I have had this Logitech G15 keyboard since I built my 2nd PC two years ago. I purchased it at my local Best Buy for about $100 USA. I did not know how to program the G-Keys or anything about it, but it has other nice features I use. I got into Internet side, gaming / sims in 2007. So, I do everything solo, learning and fixing and doing, but I am a bit behind the curve compared to most of you guys.

I was playing around randomly doing various key-presses and combinations and accidentally came across the SnapView features of the number keypad, recently in DCS: Warthog. But, my 1st attempt programming the G-Keys successfully was with the Ka-50 Black_Shark 2 on this past Sunday. It took about 3 hours farting around until I figured it out. Macros did not work out well, but entering the keyboard multiple key presses works fine for me on my new, 3rd PC. Realize, I know squat about this stuff. Macros, scripts, etc, is all stuff I do not know about.

So I created a separate profile for the A-10C. I did it the same way and kaput---doesn't work! YET! I will figure it out, eventually.

I wanted to let you guys know the G15 is doable in DCS. And most likely, all the newer Logitech keyboards of a similar nature will also work. I found 3 old threads here in this forum doing a search, concerning same. I will look around some more and do a Google search also and hit the Logitech forum.

(I figured out how to do a one button Eject! Eject! Eject! using a Macro. Just do put that single button in a place not often used, or oops! LOL! )

:pilotfly:

I found the problem creating the new profile for the A-10C Warthog using the Logitech G15 G-keys keyboard.

Creating a new profile, click the "Profile" drop-down, then "New", I used "Browse" which I used my desktop shortcut for both profiles. This same setup box has a box to check to "Lock profile while game is running" .

Well, uncheck it before creating a new profile. That was the problem. I was playing around with the G15's little LCD screen utility and I unlocked the padlock it had there.

The G15 is limited to 3 modes of 6 G-keys of 18 possible presets. I can program them with any of the DCS' keyboard keystroke combination of commands.

In Warthog I can put the MFCD's right in my face, zoomed in, and ditto the similar screens in Black Shark.

Nice!

I have to look into the ability to create more shortcut keys. I know CH_Products has gear to that end. I know nothing about how to program it, yet.
