Mnemonic Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 (edited) It would be so much more convenient to just press a button, instead of opening radio menu, reaching for an option with a mouse and clicking it, while flying formation with a tanker. I was surprised to see there is a mapping for "Ready pre-contact" on Hornet, and it works exactly as advertised, can be mapped on keyboard or HOTAS, would be great to have the same on Tomcat! It's the same like with calling "Ball" for which we already have mapping Edited May 10, 2024 by Mnemonic 3 1
Shadok Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 It's not really what you're asking for, but you can use a voice application (Voicemacro for example) to give voice commands (to the tanker, Jester, ATC,...) instead of pressing buttons. This application also lets you map buttons to specific actions, such as "ready pre-contact", if that's what you want. But yes, this requires an application external to the module. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/341089-transparent-body-part/
WarthogOsl Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 So at least now you can navigate through the comms menu via a bind, so no reason to use the mouse. This has been in place for a while, but the trick is NOT to use a modifier button, as this seems to stop it from working after the first time. This isn't a problem though, because you can bind the comms menu commands to an already bound hat (or buttons), and the comms stuff will only work when the menu is open. Once you close the menu, the regular binds will resume. For example, I bound the prev/next and enter comms commands to the same hat I use for counter-measures deploy and DLC extend/retract. No modifiers required. 1 1
Mnemonic Posted May 10, 2024 Author Posted May 10, 2024 (edited) I'm asking for a simple keybind in options. For F/A-18C there is a keybind "Ready pre-contact", I'd like to have the same for F-14A/B. It works very simple, you press the keybind and pilot does the "call", it can be mapped to hotas or whatnot. Similar keybind exist for calling the ball on both F/A-18C and F-14.
