Hi guys, I would like to fly the Black Shark with the collective brake as a real pilot would, and to make my flying a more smoother experience. I have read a post recently about automatically applying the collective brake when the throttle is moved forward or aft, but that was made in the X52 pro software.

I have just purchased the Warthog Hotas and wondered if anybody out there new of a way this could be achieved, preferably not with TARGET,(but if that is the only way, that's ok) maybe with in- game lua script or something. The only binding I have setup outside of DCS is through AutoHotkey which uses the paddle switch on the stick to centre and pause TIR5.

 

At the moment I have the brake function set to a button on the throttle quadrant, but haven't had much of a chance to try it out yet. I wouldn't know where to start with this as my knowledge of lua scripting is non existent, I would love to have the time to try and get my head around it, so I wouldn't have to keep asking here.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Through TARGET it's trivial. You can detect when the throttle is moved in EventHandle() function.

 

e.g.:

 

[color=#1e90ff][b]if[/b][/color]( &o == &Throttle & x == THR_RIGHT )
{...}

And then react appropriately. With pressing and releasing the brake (using ActKey()). If you need full code I could write you this, but Monday at the earliest.

Without TARGET I have no idea though.

Havner,

 

Thank you, I would love to have the code for this function, not just to use it, but also to see how it is written and compare it to what I have started to read in the Script Editor manual. I have a hungry appetite for wanting to learn more about this, so I am going to dive in to TARGET and try and do things for myself.

 

Of course if an lua script comes up I will still give that a go.

 

Oh, and Havner, no pressure for this favour, whenever you get time.

 

Thx.

If you're interested in a non-automated solution I would recommend using 'Slew Control Push'. To me it seems intuitive; if you squeeze the right throttle control with your 3rd finger on the slew control push button, it activates the brake.. kind of like squeezing the actual brake lever on the collective.

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
