looking for shortcut key for weapon cycle...

[fitness88]

I'm looking for some shortcut keys:

1. weapon cycle
   
2. radar lock
   
3. radar unlock
   

Thank you.

[David OC]

These are are all shortcuts and all on the HOTAS?

 

DTC needs a designate button

 

NWS disengage

 

4 Way thumb for A2A quick selection, then straight to the castle switch for modes, very intuitive when in close.

Thanks David OC I've read Chuck's pdf, what I'm looking for are key commands not HOTAS commands.

[David OC]

You can make them any key you choose. Arrow down, Arrow left etc. Unless your flying the aircraft with these keys.;)

Yes I'm wondering what the names of the key commands are.

Don't remember right now, but search under the HOTAS section of keyboard shortcuts. TDC designate and NWS for undesignate.

 

There's no fc3-like cycle weapons shortcut. AA weapons are selected using 4way switch and A2G weapons are selected on the MFDs.

Thanks I've seen other commands that need to be mapped as well to the HSI push buttons. I've seen the commands for each individual weapon but I was hoping for a cycle button. I need to get used to using the cockpit buttons more and not try and map all the things I did in FC3.

I'll look for the lock/unlock commands under the HOTAS?

lock key corresponds to sensor select depress button, unclock corresponds do "undesignate", simple as that.

 

As for A2A weapons just bind the correspondend buttons under for guns , there is a list for these commands called aim7,aim9, ,guns, somethin like that.

 

Also there is a very good youtube video from GRimreapers

 

 

or this one as well

Under what category is sensor select button?

edit:'enter' button

 

Under 'Sensors' section I believe.

 

It's diff from FC3 or even BMS F-16. Takes some getting use to.

 

As earlier post said, there is no weapon cycling command. Select the A-A weapons separately one at a time.

 

As for designate, it's a button press along with the 4-way TDC if you have the HOTAS for it. In my case (T Flight Hotas X) I have to use a combination of the POV HAT to TDC and another button to designate.

 

Undesignate is another command that is combined with Nosewheel Steering.

 

Cheers

HOTAS, I'm thinking it's called something like "Throttle Designate Select" or similar. The HOTAS section is quite short; just scroll through those commands and you'll know it when you see it.

Thank you...I edited my previous post to indicate that I found it:

 

 

 

 

"Enter" Throttle Designator Controller - Depress Throttle Grip; HOTAS

I'm bodging together a Suncom F-15 stick grip mod to work with my warthog base (to be similar to F/A-18 stick). For a few reasons I'm stuck with the single legacy thumb button instead of a 4 way switch. I'd like to use this button to cycle A-A weapons. Can anybody suggest a way to make this work? I don't use TARGET much, can it be done in there or is there an easy way to code this into DCS?

 

I'm relatively new to DCS. I have been a long time BMS / Il2 CLOD guy. Loving the hornet so far in VR!!!

You can code directly into DCS. I do that with some mapping but most mapping is done through my HOTAS software X52 Pro because you don't get the options that the X52 sw gives. If you're going to use the DCS program use the modifiers to get the most out of it.
