Using the Weapons control panel

[zacklaws]

What is the easiest way to use the weapons control panel, I find it frustrating with it being hidden behind the control column. My usual way is to zoom right in, then move the stick to one side briefly. But I find if I zoom too much, I find that the dial to switch from Bomb/Missile/gun does not work.

 

I suspect its a camera view but I cannot work out which, or can the control column be hidden?

Have you tried learning keyb bindings?

Customize a snap-view to this place, with suitable zoom, and then map a single key or button to this snap view.

 

Example, I have this for Mig-21 safety switch - behind control column - accessible be ' key (left side of keyboard).

Since this is a static view I can easily click on safety switch or altitude warning knob.

Thanks for the replys, answers I was looking for, I used to be clued up on DCS World etc, but not bothered with it for ages because of work, then come back to it and learning from scratch again along with all the new features that have appeared, some I have seen and some that I am only encountering on the way.

 

All done and dusted now, only pain was, despite getting joystick pushed to one side, it would always appear in snap view, so I sussed it out and used camera mode to look around side of it, did a few more snap views, but they can all be improved on, simply because camera mode stopped working. The most important thing though is I got what I wanted and mapped to a spare button on the joystick as well

 

So once again many thanks
