Unable to bind VKB Gunfighter Mk III paddle switch to 'Autopilot/Nosewheel Steering Disengage'

[dschmid]

I think the root of this problem may be that the GF paddle switch is a variable one. It shows up as an option when trying to bind something within the 'Axis' menus but when I try to utilize it in the HOTAS or Stick menus it simply won't register as a control when I try to add it for this option. I've had similar issues trying to use a slider for something like antenna elevation using my Virpil T-50 throttle. Thanks for any help

It can be bound analogue or digital.

 I believe you can change it in the VKB Device Configurator.

Thank you. I will take another stab at navigating the configurator - if you can provide any direction or hints as to where, I would be much obliged.

look in axes to buttons section of configurator and set paddle as button

In the first view in VKB configuration where you enable MCG Pro flip trigger buttons and up/down feature, there is as well Axis2Buttons for brake lever.

You can set wanted amount of buttons to it. I have set three. First that starts right away when lever is touched so 1%. Second at about 30% and then third at end so about 100%.

 

In DCS I bind those:

In hornet I have paddle as third.

In others I usually have it as airbrake.

I can use the first one as well to activate multiplier that translates pedals to wheel brakes instead rudder.
