Thanks, There seems to be 2 or 3 different ways to get this to work. I'll give them all a try today and create the file with the best of them. I'll post it here when I get it done. I am using the Quaggles/Wolfmuck software to add commands for my encoders so I'll see if I can get it working from that direction also. 1 MSI Z490 Tomahawk, I5-11600kf, 2X512GB NvME, RTX4090, 32GB DDR4 3200, Reverb G2, T50-CM2, OpenXR 31st TFW, 14th MAS, 9th ARS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackMonkey Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 I looked at the file that Horus provided and it did everything that I was trying to do and more...THANK YOUR VERY MUCH Horus! In this zip is also a mod that thins the IHADSS symbiology to make it easier to sight the gun or just look around without your eyes being pulled to those FAT symbols. The root of the mod is DCS's mod folder. Let us know how it works for you and if you think there are any changes or additions that I might be able to do with my limited knowledge.

Fakum Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thanks! I will fiddle with this over the next few days. so in summary, this LUA edit provides the following keybinding capabilities for the PILOT that are not currently available by default, correct? "You'll find these functions in the 'Custom' category. # 1~3rd lines : TV/FLIR 1st line is for a toggle (on-off type) switch, 2~3rd lines are for push switches. # 4~7th lines : TADS zoom" Windows 10 Pro - 64 Bit / ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming / AMD 7800X3D / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 64GB DDR5 6000 Ram / SSD M.2 SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB / MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid X 24G / SteelSeries Arctis 7 Headset /LG-Ultragear 38" IPS LED Ultrawide HD Monitor (3840 x 1600) / Track IR4 / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Virpil HOTAS VPC Constellation ALPHA-R & VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackMonkey Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I would have to say that TVV/FLIR is for an "either/or" switch where both positions are "ON". The zoom functions can go to any momentary switch, I.E. a hat switch OR if you only need medium and zoom function you can map them to any 2 position momentary switch that all HOTAS have.

RackMonkey Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 This is what mine looks like with the MOD installed. There is no "Custom" before the MOD unless another MOD created it.

Fakum Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 ok, that clears that up, thank you! The other question I have is about the: " this zip is also a mod that thins the IHADSS symbiology" once this lua is enabled, how/where do you make these adjustments?

RackMonkey Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Follow the folder path down to DSPL_Symbology.lua. In the thrid section down you will find the thickness and fuzziness setting. Play with those to find what you like in the HMD. Now, the color of your IHADSS (HMD) is currently default. I can't see that against the sky so I changed mine to a neon orange. If you want to change yours drill down to the materials.lua. Down at line 244 you'll find HMD. Under that is "HMD_GREEN". I don't know how to add neon orange to the materials files and have the HMD call it so I change the definition of HMD_GREEN to the RGB code for neon orange (255, 95, 31, 255). Because of it's title I'm pretty sure that only the HMD color will be changed to neon orange.

Fakum Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Ah! So there is no GUI for this adjustment, it has to be done manually from within the lua file.

RackMonkey Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Nope, no GUI's. There's just to many changes we like to make to suit ourselves for ED to make GUI's for them all. I do wish ED would make things consistent among the acft so that it was easier to find where to make the changes though.

formaggio Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) @RackMonkey 2 questions 1. Is there a reason there is not Bhot/whot switch? (cause it already exists i assume?) 2. how do i add keyboard control? id like to set it up wit VA as im limited on joysit buttons you can msg me on discord if you like formaggio#6527 Edited June 5, 2022 by formaggio formaggio#6527 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackMonkey Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) @formaggioI'll contact you on Discord. Maybe together we can figure out how to do what you want. I tried to friend you this morning but it failed. You can try to friend me at Ares#9243. And what is "VA"? If I know what it is I might be able to figure it out. I also checked on the WH/BH. It's called "Boresight/polarity switch".

If I'm flying off of MP then I can jump to the CPG seat and change it from there but since I can't change seats I can't change it. I'm talking about bringing the TADS up on one of my MFD's to visually confirm what is being lased for the Hellfire. In Pilot seat you combine TADS video with engine or fuel or COMs.. In Pilot seat on LEFT MFD press VID button then select TADS as source. Then press A/C button to overlay ENG ine page on top of TADS video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
