Click to make radar mode A1?

[imacken]

Trying the Anti-Ship Missile training missions, and I get to the stage of being asked to 'make radar mode 1' with a highlighted area in the pit. There is nothing to click on that makes this work as far as I can see. I have to assign a button to progress in the mission.

Am I doing something wrong?

I believe you are doing nothing wrong. You can't click it in cockpit.

And yet, there are no keys assigned to the 3 way switch, or any specific radar mode either. Bit weird, isn't it?

You need to assign it to a button on your HOTAS, or to keyboard combinations, I have it set this way:

 

T0_Fix = {RCTL t}

T1_Fix = {RSHF t}

TV_Fix = {LCTL LSHF t}

My none standard AJS37 key assignments are:-

 

A0 Mode = RShift+I
A1 Mode = I
A2 Mode = only on a joystick button (the A0/A1 is mapped there as well)

T0 Fix = RShift+Enter
T1 Fix = Enter
TV Fix = Bckspace

Radarstick Up/Dn/Lh/Rh = Arrow Keys Up/Dn/Lh/Rh

Reference Button = Home

They mirror my FC3/F-5/M-2000C Radar and Shival key assignments somewhat.

 

The OP may want to do something similar.

It's a joke. A "highly detailed" cockpit where half of the switches are not clickable. Wow.

Half of the switches? Wow indeed, didnt realized that so many were not clickable.

Better to use e.g. TV-Fix on Joystick buttons like:

 

LShift + Joy-BTN1

 

No good idea to lock targets in fight with CTRL+SHIFT+T :)

True, but my Hotas is actually programmed trough keyboard bindings:

Nice!!!

 

One suggestion:

Use more modifyer keys on your left hand and do all with your right hand.

With this setup, u wont need a keyboard anymore while in flight.

E.g.:

Press one modifyer-Key on ur throttle and use all the buttons on ur right hand, to configure this "mode". Frequencies, Channels, Volumes, Modes... All controls concerning communication. Just an example. U can handle Weapons like this...

E..g. RB75 Mode:

Make one position of a 3-way-switch on your left hand to a modifyer key. Than activate correct radar mode, choose weapon mode, TV Fix, etc. with your right hand. With the modifyer key pressed, u completely have new buttons which can be mapped on the right hand and/or left hand.

 

That all works of course the other way round. Great modifyer key on the right hand are S3 and S4. In this case, u have a complete range of new buttons on the left hand and or right hand

 

Regards!

 

PS.

I tune all volumes and cockpit lights (if provided for an axis) with the rudder-axis of my joystick. Just by pressing the correct mod-key on my keyboard (i don't have a HOTAS)

On ground I switch my driving pedals (clutch and gas) from rudders to left/right brake with a mod-key.

 

A Cougar is nice anyway.
