Strange Axis Commands settings.

[Ozmandi]

Hello,  I hope you can help me answer some questions about the settings with my controls.

I have the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Flight Pack: Joystick, Throttle and Rudder pedals and noticed something strange.

 

When viewing ALL settings it shows that "Wheel Brake Left" and "Wheel Brake Right" are not mapped.
It also shows that it has Keyboard settings.

 

When AXIS Commands is selected.

It shows that the "Wheel Brake Left" and "Wheel Brake Right" are mapped to the pedals of my Thrustmaster Throttle.
But they have NO "Category" or "Keyboard" information.

 

 

 

Another curious thing I noticed is that "Zoom View" is not show when ALL is selected but does show up under Axis Commands.

 

Anybody know what the problem is?

 

Thanks for you time.

Oz

It's not a problem it's just the way DCS is configured

 

The "Axis" category is entirely separate from "All" confusing as that may sound it does make sense

 

"Axis" covers what it says where you are able to map the Axes you have available from your hardware

 

"All" covers digital inputs, be they Keypresses or Dx buttons. The reason you see the same command repeated is DCS is trying to cover more than one base to accomodate those of us who have multiple axes available and those who may not so they can use a digital input instead operated from a Joystick hat or directly via the keyboard.

 

So if you have rudder pedals and are using the axes from them, then there isn't any need to use the keyboard command. You can just ignore it or you can delete it if you like, as long as you don't map it to a Dx button or use that keyboard combo then it shouldn't interfere with the axis commands.

 

As far as Zoom is concerned, AFAIK there are digital inputs for Zoom, in fact I think there are 3 a fast slow and normal for each making 6 in total. The usual default for digital zoom in slow (which is what I use bound to hat on the stick) is the Num* key. If you press Num* key the "All" will jump to that position and you should see it, it is listed under Zoom and is at the bottom of the list

 

Hope that helps a little
