Real-Life HOTAS mapping for F1CE...

[SidDogg]

Hello, all.

I'm here to ask if anyone knows the control layout on stick and throttle for the F1CE. The Aerges manual doesn't show much, and I am looking to map out my controller as closely as possible. I have searched for this information; perhaps I have merely been in the wrong places. 

Once I get that information, I can map it out in DCS, myself; however, at this point...I look at the stick and throttle and aside from trim control, I cannot tell which button does what!

Maybe someone else has already put out a thread for this? If so, can you redirect me to it? Much appreciated.

P. 37 and 70 or Aerge's manual is all that you need.

I would have liked a detailed description of what every button does .. it's name is not enough.

You are welcome .. actually the subject that you have brought up is interesting, so I made these diagrams based on both the DCS Mirage F1 manual and the Flight Manual of the real F1-CZ:

 

 

 

They are a bit large, sorry about that, you can resize them down if needed

Outstanding, fellas!

 

And YES, sometimes we DO need more than what the manual might say. Especially if we are going for being as realistic as playable...

I will look into this; it should help.

Thank you. Again!

The "rapid gun cancel button" is in the wrong place on this F1ED but the controls on the radar stick are correct

There are some differences . The F1ED Jammer/Track button at the rear base of the radar stick is in the DCS F1CE the Ant elev mode button (Delta H or degrees)

In the F1ED as shown above the Ant elev mode button is the top button of the rokor (The lower button being the Lock on button).

The F1ED weapon system manual would appear to be the only generally available weapons manual available. Care needs to be taken in assuming that the F1CE is exactly the same. There are numerous other differences easily figured between  the F1ED and the DCS F1CE.  What is needed is weapons manual for the F1CE.

Yes absolutely. Unless the equipment is known to be the same (like the sight/hud) I just assume it's a general guide. Like you said we've already seen several very significant differences.
