Not so obvious HOTAS that must be assigned.

My turn to return advice.

:smartass:

As a beginner you may save some hours in air combat setup by doing:

 

Assign buttons to:

 

1. AA gun selet

2. Magic select

3.Special modes aft

4. Special modes fwd.

5. Special modes deselect.

 

Do not ask what they do. Go up in the air and play with them a few minutes

Check HUD, radar and left selector panel for indications in each case.

Isn't the first thing (anyone) does when they get a module in DCS (and after taking off and crashing a few times). Is open up the manual (or a Chucks guide) and assign all the buttons the "real" plane has bound to the HOTAS (page 24 / 25 on the manual)?

 

One would think so...

I did that on on A10.

Made my own modifiers, and made a looong list of assigned buttons.

 

(My medium stick/throttle have not too much buttons)

 

It did not work. Back to square one.

 

I started slow with trim.

Then nav with new assigns.

 

Next radar HUD with assigns, maybe modify old trim and nav to less important keys.

 

I continued this procedure. Slow and patient. Not afraid to reassign previous buttons.

 

This work best for me
