segax Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Hello, My first post. I bought Mi-8 3 days ago.. And i was actually pretty disapointed that i dont have stick to fly it.. I called my friend and he said he can send me his old joystick.. I started setting up his joystick for my DCS, and i find oout that his stick doesnt have control for rudder peddals.. It has mounted throttle on it, and i put this mounted throttle as rudder control.. And there comes the problem, i dont know how to control collective right now, i dont have more available axis to control it.. Any helps ? SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH !
Flappie Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Hi segax. Joysticks equiped with a throttle control are usually also equiped with a twist axis rudder control. Can you please state the name of your joystick, or at least attach a picture of it? Here are some rudder-equiped joysticks: Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Microsoft SideWinder FFB2 Saitek Cyborg Evo Stick Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro Edited January 2, 2021 by Flappie ---

If there is no way to add 4 axis, can i use my mouse as rudder control, or collective and rudder control both ? Edited January 2, 2021 by segax
Flappie Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) This one, right? It has only 3 axis, indeed. I think it's a good idea to use the throttle axis as the Rudder control. But then, as you said, you need another axis for Throttle control. By default, DCS modules prevent you from assigning your mouse axis for quite a lot of things, including Rudder and Throttle. It's a kind of protection to avoid a mess in the controls. I know a simple solution to remove this protection which works with most modules: Go to \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\name-of-the-aircraft\Input\ Rename your "mouse" folder so the game can't find it ("mickey-mouse", for instance). Launch DCS and go to the Controls options : tada! You can bind your mouse axis to anything you want. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Mi-8 since it doesn't have a "mouse" folder. It seems the mouse protection is hard-coded... Does anyone have a solution? Edited January 2, 2021 by Flappie ---
Flappie Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Maybe you can emulate a one-axis joystick with your mouse wheel using vJoy. ---

But i need to get answer on this question: Can i use this joystick "Thrustmaster USB joystick" and one more joypad that has mushrooms with axiss, and use that joystick as rudder control and collective.. I know how to make it but i need to know "Can i use joystick and joypad at the same time"?

segax Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) @FlappieHello, bro i bought joypad, right now i need help from you, is there a way to make that: When joypad is in center postion, that calculating him in DCS like he is on bottom? Edited January 4, 2021 by segax
Flappie Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I'm not sure what command you want to bind to your analog stick (what you call "mushroom" ). When you've selected an axis control, click on "Axis Tune" (below) and tick the "Slider" box, then click "OK". Is it what you're looking for? ---
