LRFD Trigger first detent needed?

[SharpeXB]

Is this command really necessary to have mapped? It seems the second detent provides the same function ie ranging the target.

First-detent enables a range-only laser pulse as opposed to a continuous designation lase.

No you don't need it.

well if you lase and store targets, the first detend is all you need. ALso for the IAT the first detend is used.

But you can also use the second detend if you are limeted on buttons.

In case you're using a gamepad, like I am, you can use something like JoyToKey to turn the triggers into a multi-detent trigger.

If I remember right on mine, I have a bit of a deadzone, so I've got it mapped where 0-10% depression is nothing, 20-80% is the first stage, and then the final 20% is the 2nd stage, since it's easy enough to just fully depress the trigger and hit that. 

Edit: Correction, I've got 0-5% is nothing, 5%-90% is the first detent, and then 90%-100% is the second detent:

Aha yes I’m using J2K in order to use the gamepad triggers. I was wondering if this was worth delving into, hadn’t quite figured out if it was possible. 
PS works great, thanks.
