ollk22 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 I thought I would let folks know that I have managed to make use of the throttle HAT switch for both comms and TDC with SRS and VA/VAICOM with a small script. My problem was that I have assigned the throttle hat left/right to VA and SRS, but also use it to control the TDC with the pinkie. The issue was that while VA had the ability to ignore the HAT when shifted, SRS did not. SRS does not also have the ability to see pinkie shifted buttons so every time I used the TDC SRS would transmit! The solution was to use a little program called Autohotkey and produce a script to allow the joystick HAT to be re-assigned to the keyboard (in this case the left/right arrow keys - remove them from DCS as aileron default). Then edit both SRS and VAICOM to look for the appropriate keyboard arrows for comm1/comm2. The script basically looks for the joystick input and ignores if shifted with the pinkie, but actives the arrows if non shifted. Doesn't take any resources worth mentioning either. Also, if you want to use the roller wheel next to the HAT (it is the mouse by default) then remove all references to the mouse in the Logitech software, and all modes bar mode 1. Save as a Logitech profile and you will now be able to use the mouse 1 button plus the indented roller wheel, which I use for radar Az. You will need to install Autohotkey from the link above, and then it will integrate within your system and the only thing you need to do is double-click the script I have produced to make this work. Hope this helps someone!DCS SRS.zip
