DimSim Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) I'm finding the course knob frustrating to use... If I use mouse wheel, the knob always increments or decrements in single units, so turning 180 degrees or so takes a lot of scrolling and time. If I bind a button to CW, CCW knob rotation, the knob increments in 3 units, so fine tuning is not possible! What I'd expect, and I believe is implemented in other jets, is the knob scroll to accelerate with rapid mouse wheel scrolling and return to single units when scrolling slowly. (Watching someone else on YouTube from a year or more ago, it looked liked this behavior was happening for them.) The heading knob behaves the same way, but I have not been using it so far. Can I configure nice mouse scrolling behavior within DCS F-16? Edited March 16 by DimSim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do that with all other knobs. Edited March 16 by Furiz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Alternatively, you can hold Shift, and scroll the mouse wheel to accelerate the movement of the knob. 2 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimSim Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Thank you for the responses. I'll mark as solved. Right mouse drag and Left Shift + Mouse wheel both allow an accelerated movement. For some reason I was only trying Left mouse drag, which can be used for all the other knobs like light and volume controls. I guess it's because that knob also has a pressed state. The key/button binding still seems strange as it remains a 3 step increment, so doesn't seem to suit keys or rotary encoders well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimSim Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Thanks @Mollerz I haven't tried that. I typically avoid modifying the game or module files. Can that file exist in the saved game folder to override the game, or would any changes be overwritten each patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobie Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hi, DimSim. Welcome to the Club Of People Thrilled With Control Assignment Commands Written By AI . In short The PTWCACWBA Club. We need to think of a shorter name for the club. To answer your question: No, you can't throw a separate file in Saved Games... I mean technically you can, but while it won't break anything, it won't do anything, either. And no - there's no easy way around what you want to achieve. I wish there was! If you don't want to modify game files - which in itself is a viable option but requires a means to PRESERVE your changes across DCS updates - you may also use the "Quaggle's Input Command Injector" (link below). What the thing does is more or less what you're thinking about - it "injects" additional control commands on top of "official" commands in game files, using commands stored in separate files put in the Saved Games folder, exactly as you wish. Personally I don't use the mod, but frankly... I SHOULD! One day I'll get down to it. Then you might want to peek at Munkwolf's "DCS Community Bindings" (again, link below). It's a sort of control commands library that can be used with the aforementioned "Injector" (or without it). It contains thousands of handcrafted commands not available in DCS out of the box. https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-input-command-injector https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds PS. I especially like it when a CRS or similar knob, in some aircraft, when driven by a rotary encoder or such, has a "step" not being a multitple of 1°. For example, 0.916541°. That's fun! 1 2 i7-8700K 32GB 2060(6GB) 27"@1080p TM Hawg HOTAS TPR TIR5 SD-XL 2xSD+ HC Bravo button/pot box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
