ckelly14 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I'm having difficulty switching to the Magic when there is a rapidly approaching enemy. Pressing the M button or mapping this button to my HOTAS doesn't seem to do anything. What I'm looking for is a way to easily switch from long range radar and the Super 530D to the Magic and Close Combat radar mode with a few button pushes, but this doesn't seem to work. Is this button functional?
PiedDroit Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I didn't work for me, I had to remap this function to Rctrl+M
ckelly14 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 I'll have to look tonight, is there a conflict with the M key?
sedenion Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I'll have to look tonight, is there a conflict with the M key? yes "Toggle cockpit mirrors"
ckelly14 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 yes "Toggle cockpit mirrors" Excellent, thanks.
Ktulu2 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I need to re-set it default each time I open DCS for some reaso, it won't stay mapped. I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
ttaylor0024 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 There's two different commands for selection of the Magic II. The one in the HOTAS group works when mapped to my joystick, I cannot comment on the one listed in the weapons group.
PiedDroit Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) There's two different commands for selection of the Magic II. The one in the HOTAS group works when mapped to my joystick, I cannot comment on the one listed in the weapons group. The other one corresponds to the button on the PCA (LCtrl+1: gun, LCtrl+2: magic), it is only a weapons selection button, where the HOTAS button (M) will activate close combat mode and toggle gun/magic. We should get rid of those extra commands in next update hopefully, they are from a .lua that should not have been loaded in the first place (base_keyboard_bindings.lua). Unfortunately removing it from the default.lua of the Mirage is not enough as a fix as it makes some commands missing, a little work is necessary but will be available soon.

Unfortunately, the Magic button on the HOTAS ("M" key) works intermittently for me. Must be due to the conflict with the other command. Hope this gets fixed.

Hope this gets fixed. See my post above, just remap it (the HOTAS magic button) to RCtrl+M or any unused key combination and you should be fine.
ckelly14 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Does the "M" keyboard shortcut work? Thanks, that seemed to work. Previously I deleted the "toggle mirror" mapping (also mapped to "M") but that didn't work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
