Double Dutch Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hi, When in the controls section, a control is mapped and the category is 'Special for Joystick' does that mean you can not map it to a button on a console? ----- Don't practise till you got it right.

Meyomyx Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Usuall, they're alternatives to map a function to a physical 2 or 3 position switch (ie Off/On). For a simple pushbutton, just map it as normal - in the same way you would a key on the keyboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The "Special for Joystick" category is generally used to denote a control which is not present in the real airplane, and is implemented in DCS only as an alternative option for people who do not wish to setup their controls exactly like the real jet. An example would be a speedbrake switch which in the real aircraft is controlled by two buttons: one for extending the brake and another for retracting it. There may then be a "Special for Joystick" control that is a simple single-button toggle for the speedbrake for players who only want to dedicate a single button on their controller to the speedbrake rather than two.
