Watched the video. I still have no idea what's involved to bind a function to any control aspect. Any actual examples of having a blank control or modifying a control and showing how it's assigned?

 

I attempted to import a profile, but none of the profiles I've found are *.diff.lua files, they're all *.lua which the DCS import doesn't like apparently.

Yes it would be helpful to explain what the controls actually do. That'll take some explaining, however the A10C mission tutorials goes some way to explaining them. If you bind them and know where they are located, the tutorial mission should help

In the manual there is a nice overview of what HOTAS controls are what for on pages 86 to 92

The manual can be found in your installation directory in the following path;

.....\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Doc\DCS A-10C Flight Manual EN.pdf

 

Take note that every input has a similar effect on each Sensor of Interest.

For example the China Hat Forward Short, on the;

TAD: Field of View EXP Toggle

TGP: Field of View Narrow / Wide toggle

MAV: Field of View Toggle

 

odd ones out;

HUD: Set MAV as Sensor of Interest

AIM-9: Uncage

 

A tip for looking things up in the manual, or any PDF document.

Whit the manual opened up hit CTRL + F, this will open a search box.

Enter;

Senser of Interest

And hit enter, it will show you the first place in the document where that phrase is used.

Keep hitting enter for the next result until you find a section that explains what the SOI is. (and SPI is in it as well)

 

As for the tutorial mission, i used it to bind my controls. Everytime he explained a control that seemed important i paused the training and

went into the options to bind that control to my hotas and used that binding in the rest of the tutorial.

This also helps you remembering what you bind to what key cause your using it immediately.

For anyone else using X52 Pro, I created this template sheet which you can fill in with your controls for each aircraft; should help you remember them all!
