stubboyo Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This looks good. Thankfully the SSC is the same for the Viper and Hog. Would you consider adding Master Arm / Safe / Sim to the Flaps control? It seems natural and would be nice to have on the HOTAS. I'm guessing your have rudder pedals and your wheelbrakes are bound to these. The real HOTAS does not have it, but I like having a trim reset option - maybe that could be the CMS push function. Rather than binding the button to eject, the Viper has a large Emergency Jettison button which is very helpful when you're jumped by something. Again, fumbling with the mouse and trying to mash this button is not fun. Other things I have bound to my X-55 throttle: Parking brake - nice not to have to fumble for the mouse for that one and roll forward,. Manual pitch override switch - a lifesaver if you find yourself in a departure Cat I / Cat III toggle - this is very helpful to have so immediately after you drop your ordinance you can do some fancy pilot stuff to keep from getting murdered. - Stubboyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHOGX5 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Eerily close to my own binding plans for the Viper. Only thing I would add would be the Slap Switch to CMS Depress. Other than that it looks superb! -Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies.

ghashpl Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I use paddle switch on stick for a modifier on every module https://msielski.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNZ Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I use paddle switch on stick for a modifier on every module Ditto - only variation from the actual F-16 grip layout I will be using. Will have to see if I actually need to use AP override/disconnect paddle often and possibly map it to something else. Will generally disconnect AP using the toggle switch on my LH button box. But will be using pinky as FOV, side mounted Missile Step button for all it's commands such as NWS etc. I like the idea of using the CMS press as slap-switch, but currently using this to re-center VR. I also find it a little tricky to hit the 'press' activation reliably - I generally slide off into one of the other directions. Will pop these actual layout pics here for anyone that's interested for ref.

viper2097 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Would you consider adding Master Arm / Safe / Sim to the Flaps control? I would guess this depends on your own preferences. As it is one of those controls thats not needed to be flipped within a second, or blind, I have not mapped it on any module. I'm guessing your have rudder pedals and your wheelbrakes are bound to these. Exactley, as the WH has no twist axis, there is no other solution ;). The real HOTAS does not have it, but I like having a trim reset option - maybe that could be the CMS push function. Why do you need that function? Never had the feel to miss that. Rather than binding the button to eject, the Viper has a large Emergency Jettison button which is very helpful when you're jumped by something. Again, fumbling with the mouse and trying to mash this button is not fun. I use it that way (in all my modules) because the Eject button needs to be pressed fast and secured. I needed the eject button hundreds of times. The emergency jettinson I have maybe used less then 10 times in over 600h flight. Other things I have bound to my X-55 throttle: Parking brake - nice not to have to fumble for the mouse for that one and roll forward. Thats something that I don't need mapped, I have time to click on that during a start up Manual pitch override switch - a lifesaver if you find yourself in a departure Cat I / Cat III toggle - this is very helpful to have so immediately after you drop your ordinance you can do some fancy pilot stuff to keep from getting murdered. - Stubboyo Seems interesting, need to take a look at that. Eerily close to my own binding plans for the Viper. Only thing I would add would be the Slap Switch to CMS Depress. Other than that it looks superb! Thanks, also that sounds like a very good idea. I guess I'll borrow that from you :D. I use paddle switch on stick for a modifier on every module Sounds like youa re coming from the A10 where no paddle switch is installed :smilewink:. As the WH has so many buttons, I only use really unnecessary things like the KB or NVG with a modifier, so that flip switch is also very fine for me. The paddle switch is used quite often (or always) with real functions. Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will pop these actual layout pics here for anyone that's interested for ref. Your pics bring up a question though...Is the "switchology" the same across all versions of the Viper? I'm pretty sure I know the source for your pics and they are not from the CCIP jets. Perhaps MVGAS or Eddie or someone with first hand knowledge can say if the functions listed are "Standard" or vary depending on Version/Block. NOT CASTING SHADE! Great Work. It's just a question I've had a few weeks now.
