DonCalzone Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Hey, since the external flight panel from Saitek isn't recocnized as controller in DCS, you need an external application called DCSFlightpanel. It's mapping the buttons and switches to either keys or directly to DCS-BIOS functions, like BAT_ON or GEN_ON (turn on battery/generator). When mapping everything to a BIOS function you don't need to set up the controls in DCS and in general it works like charm. But when watching a replay, the game won't detect the buttons that I have pressed so the plane so my aircraft won't start it's engine or won't drop bombs. The replay only recognizes pressed buttons that are mapped as keystrokes. So if I want to be able to watch replays, I need to map everything as keystroke, which doesn't work well when multiple keystrokes like ctrl+L are used (which have to be used because there are not too many available single keys). DCSFlightpanel seems to press the second button to late, there's a minimum latency of 32ms and I think the program stops pressing the first key, when pressing the second. So currently I have to decide if I want to use my external panel or if I want to be able to watch the replay, which is kind of annoying. I know this is a minor issue but I hope ED finds a way to fix this in future. http://https://ibb.co/Rgpvz3N Sorry if this has already been reported. Cheers Don Calzone
