JellyBean Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I'm keen to know how others map their Warthog HOTAS for things like VR Zoom and eject. I was thinking of using button 4 on the joystick (the brake lever) for the VR zoom as I've now got a set of rudders with toe brakes. I'm also short on ideas for eject. Perhaps 3 clicks on the autopilot/engage disengage? If you've got the Warthog HOTAS and VR I'd love to hear how you have set if up. Any other tips too?
MRSHADO Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 For almost all aircraft, my Paddle (Joy BTN 4) is a modifier. Zoom: Paddle + Joy BTN 19 Eject: Paddle + Pickle Button (x3) i7-8700K / 64GB RAM / ASUS Strix GTX 1080 Ti / (Win 10 Pro) / Oculus Rift S
JellyBean Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks MRSHADO, sounds like a good approach, will give that a try. Much appreciated.
joca133 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I also use joy 4 as a modifier, however strongly recommend setting a toggle switch from the throttle as zoom. Works well by not having to keep pressing a button when doing ground runs.
JellyBean Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks joca123. Which switch do you map it to on the throttle?

Los Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 on my Warthog throttle I use L/G Warn for eject (Cant hit it by mistake), and the red button on the front of the throttle grip for VR zoom.
Mule Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I use the right right sided button on the joystick for zoom. I haven't mapped an eject button yet because I'm just a brilliant pilot. :) nah I need to do that. Fighter Pilot Podcast.

eaglecash867 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 I just use the normally unused, bare metal, pinky switch on the throttle. I have that set for VR zoom when pushed forward, re-center view when pulled back. Don't worry too much about an eject button though, since the amount of time I have to spend with DCS doesn't make a death in my logbook all that important.

joca133 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Thanks joca123. Which switch do you map it to on the throttle? I use the RDR ALTM for toggle zoom on throttle and CMS center press (btn 19) 3x with modifier on stick for ejection. Works great.
JellyBean Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 thanks! Sounds like a good idea. Cheers
