flywithme Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Hi, relatively new to DCS. But the clickable cockpit seems to be rather tedius and a long process. OR Am I doing something wrong? So everytime I need to adjust a cockpit button; 1) ALT-C (to allow mouse pan view) 2) double click mouse wheel (clickable cockpit) 3) numpad 5 (recentre view) whereas with Falcon BMS I can just hold right mouse button, pan to where i want and use the mouse as normal to click whatever button I want. How can I setup DCS to do the same thing? I can use the HAT on my Warthog for pan view, but I've got that configured for trim. Please help! Edited September 14, 2020 by flywithme
Rudel_chw Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Get a headtracking device, it will change your simming dramatically: https://delanengineering.com/products/head-tracking-delanclip-gamer/ Here is how it looks on the skyhawk, I’m no longer using the mouse to control the cockpit view (except on external views), I never press alt+c , I simply move the head to where I want to look: 3CjLOcd7mJ0 The cost is not that high and it will last years, mine was purchased on 2014 and it is still going strong.

MAXsenna Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I second what Rudel says. Get the Delan Clip full kit. Sets you back 40-50 pounds or so. Delanengineering.com Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
flywithme Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 Yeh I've got the Delanclip on the way, just taking longer than usual to arrive due to these crazy times we live in......

When you first get it, it will feel a little awkward, but once you get used to it it's the most natural thing in the world.

I remember when TrackIR was a new thing in the 90s. I regret so much I didn't get it at the time. Wasted more than 20 years. Me oh my.... Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
draconus Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 My first sessions with head tracking were humbling. I was performing way worse than with hat view. It turned around pretty quickly with experience and setting it up properly. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Clipper Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Mouse is essential to pan for some of us. Hi, relatively new to DCS. But the clickable cockpit seems to be rather tedius and a long process. OR Am I doing something wrong? So everytime I need to adjust a cockpit button; 1) ALT-C (to allow mouse pan view) 2) double click mouse wheel (clickable cockpit) 3) numpad 5 (recentre view) whereas with Falcon BMS I can just hold right mouse button, pan to where i want and use the mouse as normal to click whatever button I want. It is all about available money to buy hardware and built a cockpit. I know TrackIR and other VR devices are very useful in this game. I am in an early stage with the SU-25T and use the mouse or the joystick hat to pan around. When I get my first clickable module I will have to use a key modifier such as LCtrl to keep using the mouse either to pan or to click. It is possible to use also the small joysticks of a controller (PS,) in the left hand to pan around. I have mentioned elsewhere that I would be happy to have three hands to play DCSW. A VR device is that third hand.

That's money you'll never regret using. Cheers! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
