Cougar button names in DCS A-10C?

[Slayer_42]

Howdy, im looking to assign keys to my cougar via the in-game options. However, when assigning button to a key im confronted with a selection of around a hundred different names. Just wondering if anybody knows where I could maybe find a list with all these names and the cougar buttons they correspond to? Cheers

You'll probably want to mirror all the buttons that are on the actual A-10 hotas.

 

On the A-10's stick you've got Trim, TMS, DMS, gun trigger, bomb release, Master Mode button, CMS, and nosewheel steering.

 

On the A-10's throttle, you've got the coolie switch, slew control, Speedbrakes, china hat, boat switch, and mic switch.

 

These are pretty much the most important buttons to get assigned to your joystick, as you will be using all of them during missions.

 

Flaps, landing gear, and autopilot controls are all in the nice to have category, but not critical to have handy at all times.

Sorry mate you misunderstood me. I meant the buttons that dcs recognises so for instance the obvious ones are joy x and joy y (pitch and roll) but theres also tonnes of other buttons with less obvious names. Would like to know which names represent which buttons on the hotas.

You don't need to worry about that if you just press the button you want to assign instead of trying to select it from the pulldown.
