Supmua Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) In DCS, the comm menu (/) requires actual keyboard inputs rather than DX button inputs that are typically used in the settings. Here's what I do with my setup with use of the Shift function. Shift command will activate Slot 2, and we'll also disable DX inputs in that slot since we only want keyboard commands otherwise button inputs will also activate. For the F-16 grip I use the paddle switch for Shift function, when you release it'll go back to Slot 1. This way you leave both hands on the HOTAS and are still able to execute F1-F12 key commands at will. Shift+TMS switches activate F1-F5, DMS switches activate F6-F19, CMS switches for F11 and F12. Of course, you can do much more than this as there are plenty of available switches for bindings. Note that DX5 (Trigger 2) has Spc key command, this is so I can execute Spacebar function (which also corresponds to weapon firing) in missions/tutorials without having to touch the keyboard. For the F/A-18 grip, I use the NWS button for the Shift function. Edited April 10, 2022 by Supmua PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.
