ollk22 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 ok folks this is annoying, but I cannot get my HOTAS (X-52 PRO) working optimally with both combos and DCS. I'll explain.... So I originally had DCS configured to use the TDC shifted on my throttle HAT. This meant that HAT on its own would be used for flares and by leaving left and right free of DCS commands I assigned this to VA. It had one slight issue in that whenever I used the HAT shifted it activated COMMS. This was easily remedied by clicking a box within VA options to ignore its assigned buttons if other buttons were held down (i.e. shift/pinky). Now, this is where the problems start. Now that I play with a small squad, I need SRS. Great. The problem with SRS is that there is no option to ignore buttons if other buttons are held down, so every time I use the TDC with the shift, SRS thinks I am requesting coms and everyone in the group, at best hear's the break, or it could mess up someones comms at worse... I contacted SRS guy and he said he would be unable to add such a feature, and can't see why I cannot swap everything round to have his combo shifted. So I reluctantly tried this. Now, not sure if SRS works, but now VA while I am able to map SHIFT and HAT to the comm channel, when I test things out, for some reason, VA ignores my request and only 'releases comm1'. I do not get an activation for comm1!!! So basically VA does not like activating com1 with the combination for some reason. Even without DCS active, it does not recognise buttons 6+27 despite accepting the combo in the options when I remapped and pressed. Can anyone please help me determine what is going on? Assuming SRS does work with this combo I can deactivate VA tonight, but I really don't want to lose VA. I really can't see why SRS can't have the exclude button like VA does but perhaps there is something I have overlooked...? Hope that is clear! Thanks.
ollk22 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Posted November 15, 2020 ok a restart has sorted it. I wish I could exclude SRS though it is so annoying to have to shift the HAT to use comms :-(
ollk22 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Posted November 15, 2020 However, SRS does not pick up the shifted key sequence. This is bloody annoying!!!
