IceBurner Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 This controller is listed and recognized within DCS, but when you want to add commands, it only recognizes 1 key out of the 25 possibles in each of the 3 modes. Must I use the Logitech software to use it? Thanks !!
Wedge Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 As far as I am aware, you DO need to use the Logitech Gaming Software to program it, but once done it works really well. I have mine primarily set for the Datalink in the KA-50 and then some other functions are set for the second mode (some of the more hard to reach or common tasks like lights etc...) Spend the time and make your own profile, it really does help.
cichlidfan Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Yes, Wedge is correct. The G13 does not send out DX signals (with the exception of the little joystick, which is why DCS sees it) like a regular game controller. The keys must be programmed with the commands that you want them to send when pressed.

mr_mojo97 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, I use a G13 for the UFC in A-10C. Very easy to set the commands in the Logitech software. Then if I remember correctly you also need to set the same commands in DCSW Options MSI M5 z270 | Intel i5 7600k (OC) 4.8GHz | MSI GTX1080ti Gaming X 11Gb | 500gb Samsung 970 Evo NVME M.2 (DCS World) | 500gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD (OS and Apps) | 32Gb 2400MHz DDR4 - Crucial Ballistix | Be Quiet Silent Loop 240mm | NZXT H440 case | Thrustmaster Warthog - 47608 with Virpil Mongoose joystick base | MFG Crosswinds - 1241 | Westland Lynx collective with Bodnar X board | Pilot's seat from ZH832 Merlin | JetSeat | Oculus Rift S | Windows 10 | VA |
IceBurner Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks to each of you, these answers are very much appreciated !!
Wedge Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Which module are you hoping to use the G13 with IceBurner? If it is the KA-50 I'll put mine up. I just programmed the generic DCS key presses into the G programming software (from the manual), so no need to worry about adding anything to the DCS control scheme.
IceBurner Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Hi Wedge, and thank you for your generous offer. I have Ka-50, and would indeed appreciate it . At the moment, I am trying to learn the A-10C , and trying to maximize my X52 ( non-pro ) joystick and G13 and minimize my need for the traditional keyboard. Again, thanks for your most generous offer, as I am sure you put in quite a few hours tweaking it as you saw fit.
Wedge Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) (insert sarcasm here) Countless minutes mate.... It really is just the data link so not too bigger deal. I'll pop a link up later... Edit: Profile uploaded.... Basic as it can be, but functional. I am SURE there are way better out there!Data Link.zip Edited November 7, 2014 by Wedge
