Phantomflyer65 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Is there a key command for inserting the data cartridge? When in VR, I use the head look function and not the mouse. It's hard to crank your head around to look at the cartridge slot. I usually map these hard to reach functions to a an unused switch on the WH throttle but I couldn't see a key command for inserting the data cartridge. Anyone else come across this issue? Thanks for any help you can offer Jon Edited October 22, 2018 by Phantomflyer65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Go to DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Input\keyboard or joystick, depending on where you want to map it Open the file default.lua Put this snipped in there; I put mine in between the "-- test radio squelch" and "-- Synced from joystick" blocks at the bottom of the keyboard file: -- test data cartridge {down = 3925, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINEPANEL, value_down = 1.0, name = _("Data Cartridge - Insert"), category = _("Navigation")}, {down = 3925, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINEPANEL, value_down = 0.0, name = _("Data Cartridge - Remove"), category = _("Navigation")},And save. Couldn't find a quick way to have a toggle, you you'll have to map 2 keys in the Navigation section called Data Cartridge - Insert and Remove respectively. Checked it on keyboard and both worked there You might want to keep a backup of the original file as well as the modified one - DCS updates can overwrite these files when HB changes them, hopefully to add things like this one. I tend to have these files as a JSMGE mod and update mine when something changes, keeping DCS clean by just disabling the mod when updating. Edit just for the curious: I found the IDs in DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\clickabledata.lua by looking for data / cartrigde: elements["PNT_DATA"] = default_animated_lever(_("Insert/Remove Data Cartridge"), devices.ENGINEPANEL, 3925, 4200, 1.5, 1.0) Edited October 23, 2018 by Eldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar79 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 you dont need to put in the data cartridge. Its just for looks. you can just press 9099 without the data cartridge in and still get the preplaned missions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
