AMRAAM_Missiles Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 I recently acquired the Winwing Super Taurus with their Hornet throttle grip. The Hornet throttle grip radar elevation wheel is spring loaded to return to center and this currently does not play well with the ANT ELEV axis binding for the Viper in DCS. While it is possible to run vJoy either directly or through WW Software to turn wheel direction into a button, but i would love if there is a special for joystick binding option for the Viper here and spring-loaded wheel so it doesn't auto-return to center in the jet the moment you let go (and especially NOT having to run a piece of software before starting DCS, TrackIR alone is already enough) Working on updates...
Harker Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 You can circumvent that problem by not using the axis setting. Just use the antenna elevation Up and Down keybinds in the non-axis list. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

I think this would require to run their software (that wrap around vJoy internally) to treat the wheel as button press in order to bind to the button. DCS is seeing this as an axis/slider with no way for me to bind it to a button. Working on updates...

DCS is seeing this as an axis/slider with no way for me to bind it to a button. I also have the Super Taurus. You only need to set it up once in the software and save it, you can then close the WW software. You don't need it running every time you play. I did that and I no longer run it every time, but I have both axis and button functionality on that switch now. So I use the axis option in the Hornet and the buttons in the Viper. For the Viper, remember to hold the wheel up/down, as you assign the control, since the middle position also registers a button press (so DCS will register that, if you just flick it and let it go before confirming the assignment).

I use an xBox controller when away from home, and the Z axis (L & R trigger) is used for TGP zoom (with one modifer), and ANT Elevation (with another modifier). The trick is that if you release the modifier while holding the Z trigger in the desired position, and then release the trigger, it doesn't move back to centre. It also means that a quick tap on either returns them to centre if you need to (so waterline ANT, and TGP zoom 4). Not sure if that is any use to you, but it works for me and doesn't require additional software or configuration. Laptop Pilot.
