fitness88 Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I was wondering since my XBOX one is seen by DCS controls what have any of you done to make use of it as a supplemental controller...not as a throttle or j-stick? Thank you.
RuskyV Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 The only thing i could think of that would be useful would be for views, maybe when editing for videos. Cant really think of a practical application for it with regards to cockpit controls.
QuiGon Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 The first two years of my DCS career I flew entirely with the Xbox360 gamepad. It was a bit difficult to map all the A-10C HOTAS functions to it, but by using modifier keys I was able to map them all on the D-pad and the A, B, X, Y and the two shoulder buttons. It worked pretty well in the end. Now that I have a TM Warthog HOTAS I have no use for my Xbox controller anymore in DCS. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
fitness88 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 Yes maybe expanding on modifiers and switches will work well. Thanks all.
erautour Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I started to use mine for trim when flying with asymmetrical loadouts but then kept adding functions. No trackir so I'm down a few buttons and hats since they're used for view control. Currently I have the TDC, TDC designate, wing trim, gear, fuel dump, antenna elevation and engine idle/cutoff mapped.

erautour Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 What is the antenna elevation? Radar antenna elevation. The upper and lower limits of your scan. Mapped to the right stick on the controller

Mapped to the right stick on the controller This I've known, but when I see just antenna elevation I'm thinking it has something to do with comms [COMM 1 Antenna Selector Switch]. That's what confused me. Thanks for the clarification.
