MAN TRK Switch / Thumb Force Controller slew control speed

[Dr Zaius]

I find the tv mode to be way too fast when panning around (I use an xbox controller) compared to the flir mode, i get the magnifications differ from each other which likely has something to do with it but is there a way to change the input speed other than messing around with curves etc.?

If you're using the sticks as an axis then a smmall deadzone and curve are essential to me.

If mapped as keys there are new ramp up options

You can either lase way off in the distance to max out the range or set a long manual range to slow the rate down. Narrower FOV and long range setting will slow down slew rate considerably, while wider FOV and closer range setting will be much faster. Further, if you aren't already, use the first lasing detent for a pulse or tap the second detent and don't continually lase until you need designation to keep the slew rate from bouncing out of control.

this is the way…

Wow this, I had no idea the system worked that way thank you @NeedzWD40

Great video @bradmick, I've subscribed to your channel - quick question is the stored target step necessary or just force of habit?

It’s necessary because without it you have no way of going back to that location for follow on attacks.

Dr Z,

I might do this a bit different than others.  The XBox controller has two joysticks and each can be mapped to pan control at the same time.

What I do is set up the right one for slow pan and the left one for faster pan by tuning the axis curves differently.  I know this is not what you are asking. 

But...

This helps in general, as the FLIR is much slower than the TV or just times when I want to pan faster.
