Question of DOGFIGHT key commands

[AKA_Clutter]

Hi,

 

I am starting to setup of TARGET profile for my TM WARTHOG HOTAS and in doing so I have a question on the key commands in the file associated with the dogfight switch. Can someone expli9an the difference between the following commands. Most are not bound, but I would like to know the differences, so I know which ones I need to define.

 

Thanks

 

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_CENTER

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_Cycle

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_Cycle_Inboard

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_Cycle_Outboard

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_DOGFIGHT

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_DOGFIGHT_CENTER (3 key)

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_MISSILE_OVERRIDE

DOGFIGHT_Missile_Override_Switch_MISSILE_OVERRIDE_CENTER (4 key)

Look under the in game control setup. Find "special for joystick" try those. You should be able to use directX keys. You will not need to worry about the center command. Once dogfight or medium range missile is unselected it will return to the master mode you were in previously.

For simplicity of description I'm going to label the positions of the switch corresponding with MSL, NAV, and DGFT as "1" "2" and "3" respectively. The results are what happens on first and repeated pressing of the command.

 

CENTER: sets "2" from any position

Cycle: increases "1"->"2"->"3"->"1"... on an infinite increasing rotary

Cycle Inboard: "3"->"2"->"1" and will remain at "1"

Cycle Outboard: "1"->"2"->"3" and will remain at "3"

DGFT: sets "3" from any position

DGFT-CENTER: if "1" or "2"->"3" if "3"->"2"

MSL: sets "1" from any position

MSL-CENTER: if "2" or "3"->"1" if "1"->"2"

 

In summary there are four groups of commands:

MSL, CENTER, DGFT will set the switch to that position from any other. If the switch is already in that position no change will occur.

 

Cycle, Cycle Outboard, Cycle Inboard will cycle the switch increasing with looping, increasing without looping, decreasing without looping respectively.

 

DGFT-CENTER (MSL-CENTER) if the switch is not in DGFT (MSL) then DGFT (MSL) position is selected. If it already is in DGFT (MSL) position then CENTER is selected.

 

Not listed in the first post but possible commands

Special For Joystick, DOGFIGHT/CENTER (MISSILE OVERRIDE/CENTER) selects the DGFT (MSL) position when the input is pressed and CENTER when that input is released.
