Radio option controlled by joystick

[alexej21]

Hello,

I would like to operate the radio without keyboard. I want to change the eg. F5 - ATC to some button on joystick without assigning F-keys in any profile software.

Is there a possibility to do it ?

 

Thank you,

[cichlidfan]

Without external software, no.

I found this in DCS World\Config\Input\CommandMenu\keyboard:

 

 

return {

keyCommands = {

{combos = {{key = 'F1'}}, name = 'Command menu item 1', down = ICommandMenuItem1},

{combos = {{key = 'F2'}}, name = 'Command menu item 2', down = ICommandMenuItem2},

{combos = {{key = 'F3'}}, name = 'Command menu item 3', down = ICommandMenuItem3},

{combos = {{key = 'F4'}}, name = 'Command menu item 4', down = ICommandMenuItem4},

{combos = {{key = 'F5'}}, name = 'Command menu item 5', down = ICommandMenuItem5},

{combos = {{key = 'F6'}}, name = 'Command menu item 6', down = ICommandMenuItem6},

{combos = {{key = 'F7'}}, name = 'Command menu item 7', down = ICommandMenuItem7},

{combos = {{key = 'F8'}}, name = 'Command menu item 8', down = ICommandMenuItem8},

{combos = {{key = 'F9'}}, name = 'Command menu item 9', down = ICommandMenuItem9},

{combos = {{key = 'F10'}}, name = 'Command menu item 10', down = ICommandMenuItem10},

{combos = {{key = 'F11'}}, name = 'Command menu item 11', down = ICommandMenuItem11},

{combos = {{key = 'F12'}}, name = 'Command menu item 12', down = ICommandMenuItem12},

{combos = {{key = 'Tab', reformers = {'LShift'}}}, name = 'Command switch dialog', down = ICommandSwitchDialog},

 

 

Does someone know how to assign it to Hotas WH ?

An AutoHotKey script might do what you want. It is very light on computer resources, you won't know it's running. No TARGET software needed.

 

I have my TrackIR Center & Pause mapped to the warthog joystick pinky lever, both items on the same button, using a short button press & long button press. Link. A few posts below this is one for assigning a VAC radio button mapped to an unused warthog throttle radio button position.

 

It looks complicated, but that's because I wrote detailed instructions. You might look at it to get some ideas on how to do what you want to do.
