Scan Zone Keyboard Commands Not Repeating

[P5138]

I'm having an issue where the scan zone movement commands are only engaging when I release the key for the command, instead of allowing me to hold the key down and have it repeat.

 

This is for commands:

Scan Zone Left

Scan Zone Right

Scan Zone Up

Scan Zone Down

Radar Scan Zone Increase

Radar Scan Zone Decrease

 

Without being able to hold down the keys and have the Scan Zone continue to shift, it is very difficult for me to use my HOTAS effectively. I have experienced the issue when using the keyboard on its own as well as when programming the commands to DirectX inputs.

I think that's how it's designed to work with the keyboard and flightstick buttons. I have mine set to one of the hat switches and it scrolls the way you'd like it to.

I just set the commands to a POV hat switch and they still only activate on the release of the button. I double checked the TARGET profile to make sure everything is normal there, and it is all set correctly.

Same problem here. Did you figure it out, P5138?

I set up my flightstick from within the sim, not with the stick's software. Wonder if that's the difference?

I've setup my controls from within the game as well and can confirm I have the same problem as the OP.

I also have the radar scan zone controls on a hat and it does not auto-repeat the input if I hold the hat direction (I'm using a VKB Black Mamba).

I keep thinking it's by design, to allow a finer control while scanning.

For comparison, the target designator does auto-repeat the inputs on a hat (and scrolls just fine).

 

I assume you should be able to configure a macro command (or similar) with TARGET to achieve the scrolling feature you want (?).

It's curious Ironhand managed to have that scrolling feature on a hat without any macro though.

How is it?

>>> This way please.

You may want to check Harle's posts in the same thread, as he also owns a Warthog. ;)

Thanks :)

Sounds good- if my MSFFB II dies, I might go there..

No probs here. Mine's are CHs and they're programmed by CH Control Manager.
