I think I use flaps switch for flaps and airbrake switch for airbrake. IIRc there is supposed to be a profile now for most planes in dcs.

 

Best idea is go to options and press buttons to see what the default bind is, a press will cause the mapped button to show in list

 

And welcome to the forums :)

Here's my setup:

 

 

For some of this (Flaps, Up/Down switches) you need to create extra assignments in the input file or DCS won't recognize the switches correct. You need to do this after every update again.

 

Navigate to:

E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-86\Input\F-86F\joystick\default.lua

And add the following to the other commands (this creates some new entries in your DCS key settings which are assignable and enable the correct use of those switches):

-- Custom

{down = nav_lights_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_LandAndTaxiLights, up = nav_lights_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_LandAndTaxiLights, cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_LIGHTS_INTERFACE, value_down = -1, value_up= 0, name = 'Alternate Landing & Taxi Lights - Retract & Off', category = 'Left Forward Console'},

 

{down = electric_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_EngineMasterSw_EXT, up = electric_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_EngineMasterSw_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 1, value_up = 1, name = 'Alternate Engine Master', category = 'Right Forward Console'},

 

{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn, up = control_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_FlapsHandle, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down = 0, value_up = 0, name = 'Alternate Flaps Down', category = 'Systems'},

{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff, up = control_commands.F86_CockpitDeviceCommand_FlapsHandle, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down = 0, value_up = 0, name = 'Alternate Flaps Up', category = 'Systems'},

Is this profile in Target or just lua files? Can you post in either event? Thanks

Pure normal DCS configs, so lua.

Here they are:
