Mapping U key to joystick

[Hotdognz]

Has any one managed to map the U key to a joystick button, it seems its only bound the keyboard, makes it hard to trap on a carrier in VR.

 

Cheers

Yes, you either need to edit a lua-file to do it or bind U key to a joystick via joystick software.

 

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick\default.lua

 

Adding line:

{ down = iCommandPlaneShipTakeOff, name = _('Catapult - Warthog'), category = {_('Special Toggle'), _('Special For Joystick')}},

Somewhere in that file, for example under "Special input for 3-pos 2-signals switches on joystick" should make it bindable under "Special toggle" and "special for joystick" categories and the command will be called "Catapult - Warthog". Feel free to name the command and categories as you like but make a backup of the first before modifying.
