Cravgar Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Hi there, I'm in a bit of a debate around whether to use target or the builtin binding system for DCS. I like the "gimicky" features of target like the prinouts, really good for learning but I also like the native configuration for the a10c. I currently fly an f15, still getting into the game and have been using the target gui to set everything up. On the whole is works great but the toggles arent perfect. for example. I have the APU start button to turn on/off the electrical power. Now currently i've just set the APUON and APOOFF to do a key press each, nice until you crash get out of sync then on = off and off = on.... Testing out directly modifying the .lua file to something like this worked great! {combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN20'}} , down = iCommandPowerOnOff, up = iCommandPowerOnOff, name = _('Electric Power Switch') , category = _('Systems')}, My question is, without knowing how to script in target is the behaviour of on/off achievable? and also if you swap planes, can you simply load a new profile whilst still in game to then get the new keybinds for that plane? 1
dburne Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Fwiw, I used to use TARGET exclusively for my flight sims, however now I have gotten to where I just use the control config in DCS as it is pretty robust. Having said that, the TARGET program is extremely powerful, I highly recommend if you want to stick with it take the time to learn the script editor. Study the Editor manual and just start creating some profiles, once you get the hang it is not so bad. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|

Now currently i've just set the APUON and APOOFF to do a key press each, nice until you crash get out of sync then on = off and off = on.... I use a modifier for the off part. But, I have it assigned to the throttle on off detent. Same idea different switches.
