My RIO needs binding info!!

[fastfed]

He's got an X-56 hotas and wants to go through the radar testing, he's not sure what the keybindings are to move the actual stick around and move the pipper on the radar.

 

All the info he's finding is for the front seat. Since I want no business back there lol, could someone help please..

 

thanks.

 

also what would be awesome is a profile for it, but again I only see for the front seat.

 

thanks

Hi, I've just come across the same trouble tonight, but I've learnt a lot. :)

 

For starters, there are two different F-14B commands pages : one for the Pilot and one for the RIO. The problem is the Pilot commands page keeps showing up first, even when you're RIO, and even if you've been here the minute before.

 

Once on the F14B RIO commands page, tell him to select the "Search..." category, then to type "HCU". He needs to map the following, for a start:

 

HCU left

HCU right

HCU forward

HCU backward

 

HCU half-action (pre-LOCK action)

HCU full-action (LOCK action)

 

 

Have fun!

ya I see that the problem I am having is I have the x56 and the dials on the stick I cannot bind in fact it does not seem to want to bind anything. so i have seen a post from before where you have to make them axis which i have but they dont seem to want to bind.

Are you new to DCS? I mean, have you been able to bind controls for another DCS aircraft, like the Su-25T?

 

It is important that you double-click on the column showing a title like "X-56 Joystick" or "X56 Throttle", depending on the button you want to bind.

 

 

Another tip: axis can only be bound in the Axis page.

 

 

I need to see where you're at in the command options. Can you post two screenshots, please? That would be the Axis page and the Hand Control Unit page of the F-14B RIO.

 

Here are mine:
