Keyboard shortcut to select TGP

[dresoccer4]

hey guys quick question: is there a keyboard shortcut to select the TGP as the sensor on one of the screens? say my right screen is currently the moving map (sensor select left). DMT is sensor select down, etc, etc. Any shortcut to get the TGP view-able?

 

thanks!

+1 and if there are shortcuts for zooming the TGP and for the wide and narrow view.

You can assign key bindings for all the button on the MFD. There's options for both Left and right MFD screens.

I used (Shift + F9 to F12) for important buttons

It's working but I'm really starting to think about getting those Thrustmaster mfd.

 

The Tpod keep switching off. I think my hotas is failing and sending false signals.

All great, until you are using a VR. And then you really want to use a Touch Controllers so you can operate cockpit in full immersion without any thinking about keyboards or hunting mouse or touchpad and mouse cursor etc.

 

That is when you notice you don't need anything else than basic HOTAS bindings and rest you do with hands like real pilots.

I don't have a VR headset yet, I don't have the funds. I am dreaming of the day I can afford one.

But yes I agree with what your saying.

 

Good luck feeling around for the keyboard you can see while flying. Bit like trying to use the mouse while flying. Multi task and flying aren't the best bed fellows.

 

I wouldn't even need my monitor once I get a VR head set, but then I'd also want a hydraulic floor plate and then bolt a chair to that, so I could have movement and rumble. I can see that going to the £thousands :-/

 

But back to the task at hand :)

 

In the mean time, as a stop gap, you can assign a key board key to the left and right MFD.

 

also of topic but i think it's another command that needs to bve added to the default list.

 

It's not bindable by default. You need to go into DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Input\AV8BNA\keyboard\default.lua (or "joystick" if you want to bind it to joystick)

And add the following:

Code:

{down = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID, cockpit_device_id=devices.FLIGHTCONTROLS,value_down=0.0,name='Anti-Skid off',category='shortcuts'},

{down = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID, cockpit_device_id=devices.FLIGHTCONTROLS,value_down=0.5,n

 

Bless ya LazyBoots!

addendum, I saw somewhere, someones making some sort of hand tracking, so we can flip the buttons in the cockpit in VR.

 

Not what I saw but it shows the idea.

Early day, but it's a start.

If I'm not mistaken there is the option of SSS push down which switches to TGP.

When in TPOD TDC mode, you can double click the Sensor Select Down, which activates HOTAS mode which enables you to control the TPOD with Sensor Select switches. Left changes Narrow / wide view, aft, if I remember correctly AREA / POINT tracking etc... You can check manual for the exact functions.

Thank you I hope they have already implemented the function. I will try as soon as possible.

[killerwhale]

how can you remember all these shortcuts and none of them make sense, at least in the a10c, the shortcuts made sense and you knew what you needed to do, but this vehicle makes no sense.

 

this is by far the most difficult and dissapointing

[Goa]

difficult??

The harrier is well known to be one of the easiest module to operate in DCS, I own the a10-c and never used it caus it is too difficult, the harrier is very simplified imho.

[Tello]

This is nonsens. The Harrier is far more effective and pilot friendly compared to the A-10C. Train as you fight and everything will end up in your muscle memory. :book:

You know, you can change all the keyboard controls to something that makes more sense to you. It's a bit of work, of course.

thanks, yeah i saw this big in the manual a couple months ago and messed with it some, but it didn't seem to be complete. or there were inconsistencies so i assumed it was WIP. haven't tried again recently but maybe it's been updated

Yeah, it still feels bit WIP, but I guess there are also issues with TPOD itself that might mix in (like I don't think the POINT track mode is fully implemented yet). The basic functions like zoom seem to work though.

 

Still there are some things where I'm not sure if it's a strange design choice or bug. For example in HTS mode, NWS doesn't reset the TPOD to default position but in TDC mode it does.

Guys just go into control settings, choose righ or left MPCD and bind the buttons to your HOTAS,

For istance i bind wide/narrow and zoom in+zoom out for the TPOD on my hotas.

You can also bind a button so that when pressing it TPOD will be choosen and TDC activated.

 

Regards.

Ok, this is what I will do....I will see if I can create a tutorial using keyboard bindings today
