goteron Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Great Model! By far my favorite. I have been flying it with the Vive non-stop. A few questions I cannot seem to find the answer to. 1. What mapping is the toggle to turn on the TV? I have all of the mode buttons mapped, but I am still turning on the TV by mouse click. 2. I am using 2.0. A few of the mappings do not seem to work consistently. 2a. Autopilot Slave 2b. View Center - Does nothing. I have mapped both "General" and in "SA342" to no avail. 3. When in auto-hover behind a building, i turn off collective hold to pop up to fire a HOT3. When i disable it to pop down behind cover, even the slightest reduction in collective sends me spiraling toward the earth. Is this the VRS Model? 4. I cannot seem to map some of the other axis (TV Gain & Contrast) to my x-55 5. When the TV is on, FPS drops waaaay down. I turn the VCB to to standby to combat this, but any tips here?
goteron Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 I figured out the my VRS issue. I still cannot get the following to work: 1. Camera Slave - Very inconsistent functionality. Sometimes I have to go into and out of auto-hover to get it to work. Am I doing something wrong? 2. TV Power Switch - Where is the mapping for this? 3. HOT 3 Missile Launch Mode Selector - Where is the mapping for this 4. View Centering - I am using the Vive and unless I start DCS in the perfect position I cannot re-center the view for the life of me. 5. I am using the X-55 with has some momentary switches, however these switches cannot be mapped to switches that stay in an "ON" or "OFF" state. Is there a fix for this? Thanks
Cool Breeze Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I'll get back to you on the rest, but I believe you need to use the programming software from Saitek to set on/off switches. Unfortunately, I use Track IR so I can't help with the Vive. Is there any way to set up a re-center hotkey in the Vive software? This gentleman says the default key is "k" to re-center. As "k" is the keyboard default in DCS I would see if it can be re-mapped in the Vive software, or add a modifier such as "shift", "control", or "alt". Depending on how much you use the keyboard. https://descendentstudios.com/community/topic/3959-htc-vive-key-to-recenter/ Hope that helps!

goteron Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 Thank you for the response. I tried the Saitek software for the switches to no avail. I am running DCS native (so I can fly in Nevada) so the Steam VR client centering doesn't really work. I tried the "k" mapping and no luck there either. I looked through the mappings again and couldn't find the options for a few controls listed above. Thank you
