Radar elevation control axis


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have one problem with this axis.

I'm using a X55 and assigned this axis on a rotary.

 

The problem is that in DCS, this axis is designed for "return to center" axis.

So after changing elevation I have to manually return to center, which makes me fight my HOTAS.

 

I understand this is probably like that on the real Hornet throttle, but apart maybe Winwing 800$+ HOTAS, who has this kind of axis on desktop HOTAS ?

 

Please add conventional radar elevation control, with elevation proportional to axis position.

 

Thanks.

Map it to the two-wat switch on the back of the throttle.

Sure I fought about it, but my buttons are all mapped already, and I don't like to use shift function, I like to keep it simple. Plus it would leave 2 un-used axis on the throttle. :smilewink:

This is actually how it works in the Hornet. It's a switch, not a rotary. I have a feeling it will stay like this.

Yes, I already said it in my first post. :smilewink:

 

But it would be nice to adapt to users HOTAS, not everyone can afford real life HOTAS replica.

Ahhhhh Sorry missed that. Had just gotten out of bed...

That said, it would be nice of having this implemented. I cross my fingers for you.

My first thought was that it was a rotary too, like what we get in the Viper. I have mine set to one of my rotaries, just have to make sure it's centered. Hope we can have it selectable between how it functions IRL or being on a rotary.

My issue was it was too sensitive and it would raise / lower elevation too quickly before i could return to center. I tuned the axis within DCS and reduced sensitivity. Now I can increment the radar angels a very small amount, very slowly if I turn the axis a bit, or more quickly if I am more aggressive with the rotary. Works great now.
