ICP Binding Options

[VampireNZ]

Please make all the ICP buttons bindable to key presses.

Found a great little keypad that will do nicely filling in for an ICP panel in VR until someone makes a replica ICP panel.

Few adhesive circular pads on the upper row, and remove a few keys to the right and it will do the job.

 

Oh and for anyone not in VR - it also comes with a bunch of blank white keys to label as required - pretty handy.

You mean like this one?

Every single cockpit component for the F-16 is available in some form because of that other sim.

Yea exactly like that one - except that particular one is actually no longer 'available' (sorry to burst your bubble), and the 'New" version has been 'Coming Soon...' for quite a while now. I also emailed them asking for any info on release etc. and got no reply - so I am not holding my breath.

 

Also pretty hard to go past the keypad costing NZ$75, and the Vipergear ICP costing NZ$462 (for the 'old' version, + the ridiculous shipping cost no doubt from Europe to NZ) - being in VR I couldn't care less what it looks like so long as it does the job of push button = actuate correct function on ICP in DCS.

Of course, we will try to make assignments for all buttons and switches and not forget anything!

That's awesome to hear - Thank You! Looking forward to this module very much :thumbup:

 

I only mentioned it as there are some modules with binding options that can only be described as 'interesting', such as rotary knobs for common systems used every flight with no binding options at all, similar knobs with multiple positions with each separate position bindable to a seperate control...but no binding option to simply rotate the actual knob up/down to each position - be it by rotary encoder, toggle switch..button pushes..nothing.

 

Given that this is the main way the customer directly interacts with the module every single time they fly it - it is just a shame for this stuff to be not given any priority at all on some modules. I guess just a little common sense and forethought and it should be pretty easy to sort out.
