List of Hornet Keyboard Commands

[bwRavencl]

Since we are pretty close to the early access release now, could we perhaps already get a list of all the Hornet's input commands and their corresponding key strokes?

 

(Or simply a list of all the commands present on the HOTAS, if the preparation of a complete list would be too time consuming.)

 

This way people using external controller mapping software could already start preparing profiles for the Hornet now and have them pretty much ready on release. :joystick:

 

Thanks!

Yes...would be great...

Would be great also to have early access manual

This is what I've gathered from other threads, I'd assume there buttons are all bindable

[Kayos]

The manual would be nice too :)

[probad]

why dont we just ask for the entire rest of the module while we're at it

[Vampyr]

for carrier landings or takeoffs, remember ctrl+E x 3.

It would be great if it came set up for plug n play with the TM Warthog....

It would be great to be able to pre-configure the controllers so that it will be a sit in and fly on release. It takes a lot of effort to set up a full X-55 configuration. Not that the keys are going to change much from the press release version. The next couple of weeks are really going to drag and it would be better doing something productive.

The waiting has been long.

I am very much for everything that we get us ready for fly the FA - 18C right away:manual, Hotas key binding, etc.

I have been reading the NATOP manual but it looks quite daunting and deep.

Even without the actual key commands, you can look in the NATOPS manual at what the functions are on the real HOTAS and start figuring out where they'll go on yours. I've already done this for my CH HOTAS, and then it's just a matter of looking up the key presses later and assigning them.

 

It would be nice to have the manual, but you can get some of the work done without it.

The manual would be nice too :)

 

Would be great also to have early access manual

 

If they had the manual in a release-worthy state, we would certainly already have our hands on it.

It's pretty obvious (also to ED) that everybody would like to have the manual as early as possible - thus it makes practically zero sense to ask for it. :doh:

 

However, requesting a list of the key commands (which was the actual intention behind me starting this thread) is an entirely different story and not so obvious.

 

... and then it's just a matter of looking up the key presses later and assigning them.

 

For complex aircraft like the Hornet the creation of a profile can take multiple hours and the "looking up" of the key commands is something that we could already do now while we are waiting for the Hornet to go EA.

 

Of course what I am assuming here is that the definition of the commands is pretty much done right now and won't change drastically until release.

It's already in the hands of press people, so ya, they could let us see that version. But as you say, it make zero sense to ask for it :bash:

[AG-51_Sabot]

Why not ask for it? The worst that’ll happen is you’re told “no.”

[Timotsuky]

lol i think this topic is going too much far.. as malibu43 said, that waiting is making youtotally psycho

[F900EX]

Why not just include the F18 while you at it LOL ...

[crab]

In one of the live casts Wags says something about including a profile(s), cant recall if it was his personal or what, maybe someone with a better memory will chime in...?

[Bullitthead]

 

This video has the key bindings shown for most/all? of the HOTAS. It goes by quick so pause the video and use the , and . keys to advance and rewind the video frame by frame.

Here ya go:

Thanks! :thumbup:

Cheers. .. that's a good start to keep us busy getting ready.

Where did you find this ?

Here's my stab at a CH HOTAS layout. No SHIFT commands as I still have some open buttons, but can always change that later after once I learn how things are working.
