In the future, will the seat adjustment commands be able to be mapped to my controller?

Can't it be done? I mapped it to a different key on my keyboard so I assumed you could map it to the hotas????

No. It would be very convenient to map it to a switch on my throttle. Glad to see its being considered. I have so few good ideas.....

Oh come now.

 

That was a flash of brilliance

You can do it right now by copying the commands from the keyboard default.lua to the joystick default.lua.

For the total newbies among use how would you do this exactly? I wanted it set to a switch on my CH Quadrent, but have no idea how to do it. Would this also mess something up if they are adding it to the next patch, if you do this?

In the mods/aircraft/m2000c/input/m2000c folder there will a folder for the keyboard and folder for the joystick. Inside each folder is a default.lua file. I'd recommend opening these in Notepad++ as to not screw up the formatting.

 

The one in the keyboard folder contains the commands.

 

 

{combos = {{key = 'S', reformers = {'LShift'}}},        pressed = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentUp  ,    up = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentStop, name = _('Seat Adjustment Up'),    category = _('Systems')},
{combos = {{key = 'S', reformers = {'LShift','LAlt'}}},    pressed = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentDown,    up = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentStop, name = _('Seat Adjustment Down'),    category = _('Systems')},

Delete the default keybinds so it looks like

 

{pressed = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentUp  ,    up = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentStop, name = _('Seat Adjustment Up'),    category = _('Systems')},
{pressed = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentDown,    up = iCommandPilotSeatAdjustmentStop, name = _('Seat Adjustment Down'),    category = _('Systems')},

And put it in the default.lua file in the joystick folder.

 

You will lose this every time DCS updates. I recommend doing any mod like this with JSGME so it can be easily reinstalled after every update.

 

I've gone ahead and attached the modded default.lua file, just replace the one in the joystick folder.

Thank-you, sir.

Never tried to map it to a button but you can map it to a axis, works perfectly for me.

Thanks, I'll try this on the small slider on my Wart Hog.

 

*edit

I guess you used your joystick program to add that to an axis. T'is okay, I just changed the keys on the keyboard.

No, I did it in game. I have it set to the slider on the Thrustmaster Flightstick X. When I went to "assign axis" I could choose the slider for "Absolut Verical Shift Camera View"

I can confirm this is false. He actually has many good ideas. :pilotfly:

The camera shift is not the same as the seat height adjustment, although it has a similar effect. The seat adjustment actually raises/lowers the seat, and as a side-effect also adjusts the camera position.

 

I can't think of any particularly good reason to prefer the seat adjustment over the camera view shift, other than that adjusting the seat height makes a cool sound.

seat adjustment gives you consistent centering with trackir, but you can still raise your seat at landing to see the ground better
