betatrash Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Note: This is a preliminary post to gather some feedback. I will update this post with the required files in a few days, when completed. See 3rd post for updated image. This configuration allows you to fly any Default and Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft using only an XBOX 360 Controller, with optional Mouse, VR or Track IR to control the view. Gray keys represent 'shifted' commands, active while holding the controller's Left Button (above the Left Trigger). Requirements: Mouse: A middle button (to center view) is required. Mouse Wheel is required to control zoom level. VR / Track IR: A mouse is not required to control the view. Keyboard: Only required for taxiing, carriers, refueling, rearming and lighting. Functional Aircraft: A-10A, F-15C, Su-25/25T, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29A/S/C/G, J-11A Autohotkey: Custom .ahk script is required to allow a wider range of controller axis and mouse binding assignments, unify several keys/functions, and fix some controller issues.

slikbaz Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 No feedback as such, but good to see someone doing this to make DCS accessible to more people!
betatrash Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I ran into a few problems with the previous config, then just dropped it for some time, since there wasn't much interest. I recently fixed all of the issues associated with it though and am just fixing the last bugs. I'll post the completed version in a few days, or maybe in the New Year, as schedule gets a bit crazy.:pilotfly: Had to swap trimmers from DPAD, since using a modifier to swap between trimmers and target designator was cumbersome, which required a complete reconfiguration of assigned buttons. Trimmers on DPAD also make landing cumbersome, since you have to release the left analog control stick to adjust the trimmer. Most of the other controls were modified to fit the same scheme, where Shift Mode (LB) now primarily swaps between combat and navigation modes. Chute + Hook were conflicting with airbrake and Shift Mode. Still contemplating making Unlock Target and Throttle Down (hold) keys instead of Shift Mode. Added support for J-11A and MiG-29 variants. No plans to add TF-51D Mustang at this time. Controls are completely different, maybe when I manage to simplify A-10C. Edited December 23, 2019 by betatrash
