DD_Friar Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 You may continue to read this post and say "well, duh..." but yesterday was very much a light-bulb moment for myself and members of my squad. Thanks to one of our guys finding the below information, almost as a throw away comment in a thread he was reading, the "Quality of Life" using DCS has been massively improved. This feature, and I wonder how many of you reading this were not aware of it like we were, is simple but very effective. The function relates to the Communication Menu and gives you the ability to map a hat switch to select the options. It does not matter which HAT you use because when the menu is displayed the controls over-ride your other binding. When the menu is down the original bindings are back. For me I have an X56 and have mapped the large POV hat on the Stick as follows Down - Next Up - Previous Right - Select Left - Return This means no more reaching for the mouse and having to take my hand off the joystick. Apparently this feature was introduced a few patches ago without so much as a trumpet being blown or a drum being hit, but will now make such a difference to how I control my planes and helicopters and mission options available via the Comms menu. Thank you ED. 3 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

We play DCS and IL2 GBS. We have two groups one based in North America / Canada and one UK / Europe. Come check us out.
Vakarian Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 This was introduced many patches ago I know I've been using that for over a year and yeah, it's a really nice thing for quick menu navigation. 2

MAXsenna Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Perhaps a lesson learned to READ THE PATCH NOTES a bit more carefully on my part Not just "many patches ago". Must be at least a year. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
