HoneyViper Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Hello all. I have a Logitech X56 HOTAS which I am still trying to understand. I fly the F-5 and I'm just learning about the radar functions. I want to use one of the rotaries to control the radar tilt (RShift and [ or ]), preferably Rotary 2 where my thumb sits or Rotary 3 (one of the black dials). I can map it fine in the Logitech software using directional axis, but when I rotate the dial in game the maximum rotation CW or CCW does not match the F-5's maximums, so the radar elevation ends up all out of wack. It also lacks consitency in rotation, some rotations send the little marker (and consequently the radar tilt) upwards or downwards at much higher or lower degrees than others. Is there a way to ensure the maximum rotation of the dial in the CCW direction corresponds with maximum upwards tilt of the radar, and likewise maximum CW rotation corresponds with maximum downwards tilt of the radar? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.Have you mapped the key presses in the Logitech software? Try not using the software and map it as an axis directly in DCS. My setup is TM, I don't use software at all to do anything. Map axis and buttons directly in DCS, ED, BMS etc. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk

There doesn't seem to be any option to map rotaries in DCS Control Options, only buttons. Have you found a way to map rotaries within DCS??
HoneyViper Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Hey I found it in Control Options under Axis Commands! This is a game changer, thanks heaps MAXsenna!!
