G15 Profile for the UV-26 dispenser

[pitbull]

I need help with this.

 

It's not my first attempt at profiling my G15 for sims, but it's the first time I run into a stubborn sim that won't see my key bindings......:joystick:

 

I'm trying to bind to bottom left most G keys, to replicate the dispenser using macros

 

so I assign the DEL key to the G16, acting as the "STOP Dispensing" function. DCS won't even see that when testing in the controls page of the sim.

 

Same thing with the "Number of flares in seq"; binding RCtrl-Ins to the G13 key won't cut it. DCS won't see it. The keystrokes are seen correctly when testing in the profiler.

 

i tought that using the french canadian keyboard was the reason why, as the "[" was seen as "¸" by the profiler. So I switched to the US layout for both programing and flying, didn't work either.

 

I tried letting the modifiers release before the actual keystroke, didn't work.

 

I also tried assigning the binding as a keystroke vice a macro, no luck either.

 

profiler is up to date with the latest version downloaded today.

I'm using the profiler for my G11 and it is worling fine in BS. Check if the profiler runs with the same user rights as BS, i.e. admin if you start BS as admin.

 

Btw, the old G11/15 keyboards are simply perfect for BS, I have mapped the ABRIS, autopilot and datalink buttons to one group of G-keys respectively, really handy.

Will confirm the admin rights, not sure 100%

 

Good idea for AP and DL, I was looking at a way to fill up the rest of the G15 keys....

 

Now I only have to make it work... :mad:

[pitbull]

Well, I tried your suggestion and started the profiler with the admin rights, no joy.

 

I mapped the AP to other G keys, no change. I t looks like BS is not picking up the keystrokes sent by the macros, or only portion of the macro, ie.: If I try, by hand in the BS controller page, let's say LSHift B, for bank dampener, it is picked up correctly. if I hit the G key with the same keystrokes in the macro, BS sees the keystroke as only B, no modifiers....

Could you provide a little pretty file f.e.? :music_whistling:

 

Anyhow my Profiler Software keeps crashing when I hit the RAlt Key....

I had this bug too, when running the profiler under administrator vice my usual user name..

 

The same thing is happening to a squad mate, DCS doesn't pick up is modifiers, ie.: SHIFT H in profiler will be seen as H in game...

[sharkfin61]

Did you try to assign it as a macro, not as a keystroke?

 

I reverted back to the program version for xp 2.02.101, now the ALtGr (right Alt) key works perfectly again.... :shocking:

Tried both ways, numerous time, as macros and as keystrokes..

[sharkfin61]

And on which software / operating system?

[pitbull]

Latest S/W from Logitech. not sure of the exact v.#, i'm not home at the moment, installed on XP SP3.

[pitbull]

Bump.

 

Anybody with a G15 got macros to work in game?

[pitbull]

After much $?%&$%?&*$%? around, I finally got it working.

 

When recording the macro, make sure to also record the delays between key strokes, otherwise BS doesn't pick-up the whole thing....

 

easy fix, and now I feel stupid I didn't tought of that before..

Thanks pitbull. It is an easy fix but I didn't think of it either. I can program all sorts of things to the G-keys now. I edited the delays to 0.01s and it works fine so far.

[Jagr]

For those of us with G15's and too lazy to do the programming, could you post the profile?

[TimA]

OK here's mine, bear in mind I have the new-style G15 with only 6 G-keys. I've got it set so that mode 1 hits the number buttons on the PVI (for easy waypoint switching)

 

M1 G1: PVI Pushbutton 1

M1 G2: PVI Pushbutton 2

etc

 

Mode 2 is for the UV-26 countermeasures dispenser

 

M2 G1: Toggles dispensing board switch, left/both/right

M2 G2: Toggles switch for counter/programming

M2 G3: Number of flare sequences button

M2 G4: Number of flares in sequence button

M2 G5: Flare interval button

M2 G6: Reset program button

 

Mode 3 I was running out of ideas, so set up for weapons mode selection and HUD modes

 

M3 G1: Toggle weapons Man/Auto

M3 G2: Weapon mode switch (Long/Medium/Short)

M3 G3: Cannon round selector

M3 G4: Cannon rate-of-fire selector

M3 G5: HUD mode selector

M3 G6: HUD filter

 

 

If you can think of any better buttons to have for the 6-key 3-mode operation, I'm all ears! I'd have liked to set up the datalink on one mode, but there simply aren't enough buttons!

once I get home, I will post mine.

 

I have 4 dampeners, the DH/DTA switch, the RAD/Baro alt and the entire UV-26 are programmed in there in mode 1.

How did you create that profile? How do you get the "left/Right" modifiers for Shift or Alt etc.? Are you writing them in Lua or using something to create them more simply?

If you are referring to my post, I did all the programming within the logitech profiler itself. The modifiers are recognized by the profiler, except for the right alt, which causes it to crash. Known bug though. A quick work around this, is to program as a left alt, open it with notepad, find the entries and change the LALT to a RALT.

[TimA]

Yeah, I just used to profiler too. Quite simple to use, create a new macro, make sure it is recording delays, then afterwards I edited the delays to 0.01s by right-clicking.

 

That's strange though, pitbull, the RAlt key works fine on my profiler. Is that a bug on the 12 G-key G15?

 

 

edit: VVV yes, thanks, I meant 18-key. Cheers.

I have the "old" 18 G Keys, the first gen that came out. if you read in the firsts post, somebody else experienced the same bug.

 

anyhow, here is my profile. It's a bit messy, ie.: there is some un-used key commands in there, and teh G18 is programmed to center my Free Track ( Shift F12). I didn't edit the delays down to 0.01 sec, yet anyway.. too tired now. I just finished my 12hrs shift, it's 0630 and it's bed time.

 

cheers!
