Have a question on joystick modifiers!

[tl3w]

Hi all, I am new to the forums and DCS itself, and I have a question regarding joystick modifiers. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, BUT

Is there any way to make the joystick modifiers needed to be pressed and HELD in order to activate another switch on the joystick. I want them to work just like keyboard modifiers in this sense instead of pressing the modifier and toggling it untill it is untoggled.

Thanks for the help!

Yes. When you are in the Modifiers section of Options>Controls, you can assign a button as either a modifier, or a switch. The first will act as you wish, while the second is created as a toggle. You will notice, when in that screen, that the standard keyboard modifier are already defined as modifier.

 

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forum. :)

I use the "switches" in keyb' Scroll Lock and Caps Lock, so have a visual feedback (LED) that "switches" are ON.

Be sure to turn both off before start a flight. :)
