Snacko Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Add a Control Assignments Layer that would be a default for all aircraft, unless overridden by the specific aircrafts assignments. Or is this already functional in the game somewhere???? I would like to assign some common commands there to the same Hat on my stick/throttle that would be used for every aircraft. Specifically, things like Kneeboard commands, Trim commands, View Commands, Comms... Even Axis like Pitch; Roll; Throttle would be great there. 1 Intel I9-10850K (OC @ 5.0ghz) │ Asus Maximus XII Hero │ G.Skill Ripjaws 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 3200 │ Thermaltake Water 360mm Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC 24gb │ 2TB M.2 EVO Pro; 1T M.2 EVO; Sandisk SSD Drives │ 49" Samsung Curved Widescreen │ 28" Touchscreen - ҉ - Blackshark Cockpit Trainer - ҉ - ♣ Thread | ♥ Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpeXB Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) You can already use the Save/Load Profile function to copy a controller setup from module to another. Obviously you can’t copy aircraft specific functions but things like the axis or trim commands etc will get copied.

Snacko Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Thanks. Do you know what that 'Default' folder is, that is within the config/inputs folder? I wonder if that is what I am looking for?

The game pre-assigning your controls is rather problematic but you can easily create your own default profile for any device. Any of the simple commands like the flight control axes, brakes, comms, trim, views etc. pretty much anything you see with a simple keyboard command assigned are generic across the modules or so it appears. If you were so inclined you could set up a default stick or throttle arrangement provided all those commands are truly universal, save that and load it into multiple modules. For example I have my rudder pedals saved like that, all those commands are generic; rudder & toe brakes. It will load into any module afaik along with the response curves and such I have set up for them. This is only so useful since the modules also have many unique commands but if I ever found myself reassigning a lot of aircraft with a new controller or such I might get more organized about it.

The ability to assign default controls would make the auto assign work better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpeXB Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) 1 hour ago, upyr1 said: The ability to assign default controls would make the auto assign work better The game already assigns default controls but it’s really problematic. You’re better off just clearing all the assignments and doing it yourself. The game does things like assigning POV hat controls which won’t be used if you have head tracking or VR. It will assign throttle inputs to both a stick slider and throttle since it doesn’t know if you have a separate throttle. Auto assigning commands is rather pointless and probably causes more confusion. Unless it’s one of these module specific HOTAS setups like the Warthog or Winwing controllers it would be best if the game just left them blank. Assigning controls is very easy and only takes a few minutes. I don’t imagine most people buy new controllers very often or that many modules all at once. If you do end up with that circumstance it’s already very easy to deal with. I’m sure the one thing ED can never do with this menu is change it in a way that screws up everyone’s setting.

I know what DCS does by default which is why I stated before the request is to set up a profile called common controls where you set up your stick, rudder, throttle(s), trim, triggers, TDC, brakes and the like that when you get a module it will assign controls based on the profile so it doesn't do stuff assign your rudders to a throttle axis.

Sure I suppose the game could just have a placeholder “default” module to use for this. What you can usually do is just copy the scheme from a similar aircraft as a starting point. That’s just mildly useful since there aren’t really that many common controls.
