Thrustmaster output while keybinding

[Reusenfisch]

Pilots!

I have problem that bugs me since day one in DCS! I know it might be a first world issue but I would like to get a solution for it.

Here it comes...

I fly DCS in VR only, paired with a TM Warthog. It all works great besides the keybinding. If during flight I see the need to change a keybinding, I press ESC and enter the Adjust control page. I look for the keybinding that I would like to change. Click on the appropriate field, a new menu opens then to press the new key. Here starts the pain!

If the button that I press on the HOTAS is associated with a modifier i.e. ALT, SHIFT, CTRL or other modifier only the modifier is shown in the menu, not other keypresses like letters or number that the HOTAS puts out. Since I don't know all the commands (output from the Warthog) that I programmed with TARGET I have to find my sheet with all the programmed buttons and associated. What a pain. It is not possible to change these inputs on the fly.

Here is my question:

Is it possible to stop the sim, go into the control page, hit the button on the HOTAS, DCS recognises it and continue flying. Since I use multiple layers of buttons allocation (mainly I and O), I can't use only DX only.

Thanx for every hint!

Horrido

Does anyone has experience with other programs like RS Mapper or Joygremlin? Will it work with those programs?

It works with Joystick Gremlin.
Why it doesn't work with Target i don't know because the output it generates is correct and works in DCS but DCS doesn't see the actual Target key-press in the controllers section when a modifier is also in use. But in game it's recognized fine so why...? No clue actually.

What about using the 120DX button hack for Target? It gives you 120 DX numbers to assign instead of the normal 32.

Oh!

Never heard of that hack, will try to figure it out!

thanx

I'll PM you the file...

Hallo!

 

I switched to Joystick Gremlin. It suits perfect. I can have up 128 DX buttons, noice! The GUI of it is ok. However I could not find an good manual oft it…

I don't use Grmelin so i don't know.
Didn't you try the 120DX hack for Target Script i sended over via PM?
