derbarbarian Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 Hey guys, So I finally got a Thrustmaster HOTAS setup after searching for a reasonably priced one for over a year and I'm aching to get back into DCS as my last joystick broke a couple of years ago and I hadn't been able to replace it until now. So I've been having some severe DCS withdrawals for a while now so saying i'm excited to finally be able to play again is definitely an understatement. Anyways I'm running into an issue trying to make the HUD SOI when doing the Air to air training in the A-10, when I go into the controls it says either use the HOTAS Coolie Hat Up Short command or the U key. So I have the Thrustmaster hOTAS Warthog stick/throttle and when I press the corresponding button to do that all it does is cycle through the screens on the left and right, which when I press the U key I run into the same issue. When I go into the control menu, it shows that the right key/buttons are assigned to the command yet it doesn't seem to want to do it. I'm curious if there's something I'm doing wrong, or if it's some sort of bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

derbarbarian Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Yeah I've tried long & short and it just cycles the menu's on the MFCD screens. It does the same thing with both the U key and the Coolie hat up long on the throttle. As mentioned I've gone into the controls menu and the keys/buttons are assigned correctly, and there aren't any conflicts with those buttons being assigned to other tasks/inputs.

No1sonuk Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 It's definitely HOTAS Coolie Hat Up Short to make the HUD SOI. Left or right long set left or right MFCD as SOI Left or right short cycles the left or right MFCD screens. Down short swaps the MFCDs One thing to check is to make sure you're checking the control bindings in the flight mode you're using - "Game" or "Real". 1
