[Request] Commands for Turn Weapon Selector Right/Left

[Sokol1_br]

The Windows have a limit of 32 buttons, HAT and 8 axis.

 

JoyToKey use this limit - for up to 16 layers (joystick physical or virtual).

TM warthog target gui thing has an option for making chains of commands in sequence from one button. I have mine set to switch through AA and AG stations sequentially.

For make a HAT... turn the Mig-21 Weapon Selector is need use several (11) layers/profiles.

 

E.g. press the HAT up chance for IR missile and load other profile (e.g. 2), in this new profile press HAT again change for Radar missile and load other profile (e.g. 3) ... etc.

 

Press down change for previous weapon (e.g. IR) and load the previous profile (e.g.2) , etc.

 

Probable with TARGET advanced programming is easy do this. I dont have a clue (or TARGET). :)

Years gone by, still no love from devs. Honestly I haven't touched the MiG-21 in a long time because of this, I am just too annoyed by this. A buddy asked today if he should buy it, after explaining the situation (since release!) with the weapon selector (and similar commands) he reconsidered.

 

MiG-21 still not finished. :)

The solution is really quite simple. :thumbup:

Nice, but no easy or cheap solution... :)

It depends on where your definition of 'easy' and cheap is. I allready had the BU8036X from an Il-2_1946 project lying around and the switch itself is a few euros. Making panels and wiring switches is like a second nature to me.

 

Programming a dozen or so profiles for the same keypress sounds complicated to me.

 

And I don't like to be forced to start-up two or three different programs before I enter DCS-World.

 

I like to show a different solution. The same problem can be solved without the need for complicated programming. That is complicated to me. I got a few Rotary encoders, just in case Leatherneck decides to change the key assignments. :smartass:

Anyone knows if we can put the old commands in there? having to toggle the nav lights with one button having to look outside to see the state which it's in is ridiculous when you had a button for each state before using MFD

[Eihort]

You can just look down at the switch....

You can just look down at the switch....

 

Of course but I find it really odd that they removed separate bindings "dumbing down" the controls why not leave them there for those who want to use them? Just like the canopy I had different buttons for open/close, lock/unlock, etc Now I have to use it as a toggle... Thank god the ASP bindings are still separate can't imagine looking at switches to see which mode you're in in the middle of a fight with a mirage LOL

"Drama" solved. :D

 

*MiG-21 Changelog 5/2/2016**

 

Here are the changes made to the MiG-21 December.

These fixes should be available in the next patch:

 

Added Weapon Selector Left/Right input command

 

:thumbup:

[zaelu]

Yes, finally after one year I can use my Rotary encoder to turn left and right the darn thing. 4 other buttons are free! :beer:

[Sokol1_br]

Mig-21 commands "drama queen" is no more. :thumbup:

Looking forward to using this, but mine is greyed out on everything but the keyboard. It won't let me choose any of my other devices to bind keys.

 

Anyone know what to do about this?

[FeistyLemur]

Realized I have the wrong thread for what I'm thinking of so I cleared this message.
