flywaldair (Skynet dev.) Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I am not quite sure how the dispense switch in the real hornet operates. Does it spring load back to the center position after pushing it forward / backward? The reason I am asking ist because on my Warthog HOTAS I could map it to the boat button below the speedbrake (which has a fixed forward / backward position). Or I could map it to the SS Button higher up which re centers automatically after pressing. Skynet: an Integrated Air Defence System for DCS. Download here!

RogueSqdn Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Stays in position set at. I use the boat switch for it also.

Sting57 Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Are you sure it stays in position and not spring loaded to the center? That makes no sense for an action like dispense switch. Releasing a flare is a momentary action. If you leave it in the forward position does it continously release flares?

pete_auau Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 yep its spring loaded to set back in the centre position
flywaldair (Skynet dev.) Posted December 16, 2018 Author Posted December 16, 2018 It would sort of make sense that the button is spring loaded. I noticed the program (aft / fwd) doesn't abort once it is started. Therefore a boat switch would not make sense to me. Ist there any one here with first hand knowledge of the Hornet throttle control? Skynet: an Integrated Air Defence System for DCS. Download here!

RogueSqdn Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 I'm talking about DISPENSER BYPASS/ON/OFF, stays in position set. The dispenser switch that you hit to actually dispense chaff/flares is spring-loaded, and I use the china hat for it.

Sting57 Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 ok sorry that makes sense now. Yes i use the china hat aswell. I use the boat to select master modes, AA AG or NAV.
