Headwarp Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I use a combination of my keyboard, mouse, Logtiech G13, and a full hotas + rudder pedals.. and I still have room for voice attack for AI radio commands, and i still want a TM MFCD pack +1 for less mouse usage and it's invasion of my immersion. (Somebody stop me) The more I can limit using my mouse to things I need on the ground only, the more I like it. Personally, my throttle, stick, and g13 are far easier to fumble around and find specific keys than fumbling around on my keyboard while also trying to fly a plane.. that and my keyboard sits off to my right in flight. That's my stick hand man.

VZ_342 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 the keyboard is the ultimate button box. but nobody seems to like those :) I bought an extra keyboard from a thrift store, mapped out the switch matrix and built a couple of panels with momentary switches.

Headwarp Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) ... you guys should at least warn us before posting these NSFW pictures... J/k.. kind of. Loving the warthog grip on the gunfighter base. I just re-greased my warthog today.. feeling okay. Temptation resisted.

streakeagle Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 When I have real-world buttons, I can do things much faster and more precisely than I can having to grab a mouse or look down at a button. Even in VR, I prefer to have real-world buttons. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender_39 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If you dont need them, why thinking about it? And isnt it better to have such features and dont need them, or need them and dont have them?:smilewink: kind regards Bender_39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 If I was making such a game as DCS I would have just as many commands (even more!) but 90% would not have a keyboard key assigned by default. Since cockpit is clickable it is not a great idea for some rarely used switch to have RCtrl-LWin-LShift-RAlt-F10 keybind. Who uses these crazy keyboard combos? I think it is better to have them blank so when you add it as a user it is what key you choose so there is a much better chance to remember it.

wedge_one Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) because pushing a lever to raise/lower gears feels better than pressing G. about voice macros, you're flying a fighter jet, not a space ship (unless you're using on comms).

SCHOOL Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Tactile switches are much more immersive. Even if just on a desk. I do keep the keyboard close by to cover buttons I've missed. Also, still need to type in chat. SCHOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
