completed Mi24 Door Gunner - missing joysticks binds to axis commands GUN up down GUN left right

[hannibal]

I am super excited for this feature

I support any airframe with gunner positions.

I have a DIY mock functional doorgun controller that works perfect on the Huey UH1H doorguns.

I am hoping it will also work with the Mi24 Hind

PLEASE PLEASE 

MATCH THE doorgun control options as they are with the UH1H

especially doorgun UP/DOWN , LEFT/RIGHT mappable to a joystick.. 

Hopefully it is also good in VR, with player view independent from where the doorgun is aiming. 

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THESE FEATURES TO THE COMMUNITY!

@Wags @MatveyTsivinyuk @Flappie @PilotMi8

*side note* hoping for a  WWII airframe with turret guns  in future after all the great upcoming releases

 

***update***

MISSING is being able to assign axis commands and buttons to a Joystick,

under the settings menu, the joystick column is greyed out, and unable to bind the joystick to the UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT axis commands

@hannibal I have nothing to do with it -I only test and report things- but thanks anyway.

[hannibal]

after recent patch, Doorgunner for Mi24 is getting there!!

please uncouple the doorgun from the head movement in virtual reality

at this moment can not map joysticks to the up/down left/right slew axis under Mi24 gunner assignment

A saveable zoom level would also be good as would a bindable (mouse or joystick) Alt + T

[hannibal]

currently at 2.7.18.30348/

but still not able to map joysticks to doorgun up/down and left/right slew axis assignments... for Mi24 Gunner

moving doorgun with my head in VR is immersion breaking..

hopeful for future implementation to map joystick to doorgun controls

Yea, up down left and right is mappable. But cannot separate it from track IR. Want to have joystick control gun axis and only have head tracking move head, as I’m sure you and many other want. The skew assignments seem to work, but fight head tracking even if track IR is not bound to anywhere.

I know the devs are busy.. I hope doorgun is assignable to joysticks in near future, both for VR and trackIR, in the gunner drop down and head track gunner drop down..

It's almost there for us doorgunners!

I only just found out you can press Left Alt + T to detach track IR from the gun, and thus control gunner head with track IR and gun with the mouse/joystick. Only just saw it from re watching wolfpacks video.

I think if that binding was added, it would help people know it’s a binding that can be used. I feel like a lot of us go through the controls and don’t see anything; and don’t realize there is a binding to do what we want, you just have to know it’s there. 
 

Also seem to be able to open and close doors from gunner spot, would be nice bindings to have also

Thank you!!! super appreciate it.

plus grateful that you help with communication to DEVs to get UH1H doorgun functionality a reality, previously

Still NOT functional in DCS 2.8.1.34437 Open Beta

Still hoping for joystick controlled doorguns in Virtual Reality, Not TrackIR

please ED, in the future.. very soon!

Headtracker Aiming On/Off command exists: it's in the Pilot controls category (LAlt + T). Can you please confirm using LAlt+T then using the following axis do not work in VR?

The mapping is there, but it is inaccessible for joysticks and it is greyed, only the mouse is assignable..

If the dev's can open up the action to allow joystick to be assigned, that is what is needed

Oh yes, indeed.

[hannibal]

hey @Flappie

i did a test of the doorgunner function in VR.

so basically i can control the Kord machine gun in VR with ONLY the mouse after pressing the command LAlt-T

As mentioned before, I am UNABLE to assign the "gun left/right" and "gun up/down" to joystick, it is greyed out and unavailable in control options.

@Swift. can i also forward you this issue for control mappings for the Mi24?

I mean you can, I don't have any more say about what happens than you do. So there's not much I can do other than sympathise, I'm afraid.

[hannibal]

no problem! just want to put my two cents to help make DCS to continue to be the great sim!

appreciate you guys looking into our issues..

happy holidays to you and your family!

[hannibal]

still hoping to see joystick axis controls for the Mi24 Hind Kord doorgunner!

[Flappie]

No news...

[hannibal]

i am still hoping joystick binds for the Mi24 doorgun..

it is just absolutely perfect on UH-1H.. it was almost there for SA342...

[Flappie]

@hannibal Rejoice, it should be implemented in the next OB update.
