LtFransky Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 In Falcon4 I have my keys modded so the Keypad functions as the UFC. Is it possible to do the same thing in BS? I've been reading about people having trouble with getting new keys to work. I'm using FreeTrack for views,and a Cougar for cyclic and view zoom. If I remap the keypad and arrow keys to mimic the PVI, will the new mapping work? I know I should just try it, but I'd like some advice before proceeding. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu
LtFransky Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 Well, it's done. I'm off to test. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu
TimA Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hey LtFransky, how did that work out for you? Mapping the PVI to the keypad seems like a good solution to me, if it works ok. What does your mapping look like?
LtFransky Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 Wow. It works great. No more messing with the mouse. (For the most part) I reversed the keypad so 1=7 and placed my main use buttons (WP, Ref Pt, AirField, and Tgt Pt) on the arrow keys and then placed the others (minus wind info and the no function ones) on the keypad symbol keys. I was able to ditch the default functions of the keys b/c I'm using FreeTrack, a Saitek Command Unit, and a Cougar Set. The K/P and Arrows were irrelevant. I can send you my .lua if you want to see it. It explains better then what I just did. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo.

TimA Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Please, that would be good. I've been thinking of the best way for me to do it, I don't use any of the keypad buttons either, except for / and * for zooming. That Saitek command unit looks very useful. Except I'm well out of desk space already.
LtFransky Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 I actually modded it by cutting the palm rest off, reattaching button 21, and then building a stand for it so it sits over my Cougar throttle. It is perfect for fingertip use. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu
soup55 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds nice! How about a pic? I'd also be interested in seeing the .lua, if possible. Thank you. Every day I learn a little more!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SOUP55:matrix:
