Semaphore Posted June 20 Posted June 20 What are the, or where can i find, the control binds needed to fly the Coprsair, in particular, what axis/switches do I need to start and manage the engine? Thanks, 1
Sprool Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Until someone puts a guide together, your best bet is to watch a couple of the corsair youtube videos already out there about startup, taxi & takeoff
DD_Friar Posted June 20 Posted June 20 @Semaphore - Have you checked the manual that is available on the menu screen? It lists the start-up and take-off procedures. Also have you flown warbirds before? For controls you need the basics; Pitch, Roll (usually done with HOTAs) Throttle Trim (nose up, down, left and right bank and rudder) Gear up/down Flaps up/down Prop pitch up and down Mixture +/- Prop Governor I have found a lot of the start-up stuff can be done by clicking on the very nice cockpit, eg canopy open/close, wing fold and lock and does not need mapping Once you have these set-up when happy you can move on to the nice extras, guns, rockets and bombs, hook for carrier landing.

Greacey Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Only had a Quick Look so far but have noticed a few missing binds such as master arm safe. You can bind arm but not safe. Nice to not have to use the mouse when you have the buttons 1

Is prop governor the same as propeller RPM? There is a propeller RPM +- bind in none axis, but in axis only the Prop Governor i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
Kiwi_Viper Posted June 20 Posted June 20 yeh its the same, i use that and the prop pitch appears to work ok Ryzen 7 7800x3D, MSI 4080 Super, 64GB DDR5 6000mhz, 2x 4TB & 1x 2TB nvme ssd. Pimax Crystal light, Windows 11 Pro

Thanks, Its all pretty simple and straight forward, as for any other aircraft. Use search in top left corner to find specific control. For the start bind the following: pitch, roll, rudder, throttle, brakes (both, and separated, for turning on the ground) , flaps (up, down) gears (up, down) trim (there are all 3 types, roll, pitch and yaw), gun trigger weapon release (for drop bombs) rocket fire The rest you can simply access with a mouse click around the cockpit. And btw, check all the button and switches arounnd the cockpit, to see what all the aircraft offers (infront of you, and on both sides), and try to memorize them. Edited June 20 by skywalker22
Guldendrak Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I don't know if it's me but I can't bind a control to remove the pilot body. When I start with a new plane I prefer without a pilot body.

Are you in VR? I use a flat screen. Is it a setting maybe in the Specials section, I have not looked yet, but @Scotch75 is correct with Right Shift and P Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

Scotch75 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Yes, under General in the drop-down, it's called "Pilot Body". Just assign a keyboard combo.Cheers!Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk W10 Home 64Bit, Intel Skylake I5 6600K 3.50GHz, ASUS ROG Stryx Z270F MoBo, 64GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD (OS), Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD, 2TB Seagate SDHD, 2TB WD Green HDD, Gigabyte 3060 12GB VRAM
flo151068 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) Hi all, Do anyone know how to map the M Buttom on top of the throttle stick, or to what correspond?. NOT THE RED M. The Black one on, repeat, top of the throttle stick. Edited June 20 by flo151068
mntimbuktu Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I did bindings for all the weapons systems, but none of them work. Same with lights. The only one that works for me is master arm. Gun charges, gun selector, rocket switches and bomb switches do not respond to bindings.
AG-51_Razor Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Did the Corsair not have a generator, or is it just perpetually hot wired to the ON condition?? I am absolutely positive that the Corsair had a pilot seat with a vertical adjustment and I am very surprised that this has been left out. The very important engine instrument cluster in the lower right hand corner of the instrument panel is exceptionally hard to see. Being able to lower the seat a few inches might help considerably and I'm pretty sure that the seat was in its highest position for landing and takeoffs then lowered for normal flight operations. Surprised that there aren't key bindings for these items. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

No real pilot removes his hand from the control stick to use a mouse to click switches/dials in the cockpit. Right hand on the stick, left hand to select things in the cockpit. Since I can't use a mouse left handed (I'm very dominately right handed except for two things, fishing and tossing items a short distance) I prefer keybinds to having to let go of the stick.

Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk sadly the "show pilot body" can be bind only with the keyboard on this plane and as playing in VR I don't use my keyboard, only my button boxes. Hope they will fix it as I can normaly bind this option on any button with others planes.

I moved away from TARGET when I started mixing up my controllers, TM AVA/Hornet stick, Viper Panel, and TPRs. WW Super Taurus (legacy version) WW PTO2, BlackHog A, K51 trim box, Onyour12 Master Arm Panel. It sees your controllers better and shows you the switches and buttons on each controller. You get Push, release, and TEMPO commands and Chain Event programming. They call it sequence but it's Chain. I have seperate profiles for DCS birds, and a seperate "File" program for IL2 programming. Check it out, I'm sure you will like it better. No vjoy or hidhide required. Sempre Fortis
Dawgboy Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Is VOIP the only comm keybind capability when flying multiplayer with the Corsair? SRS doesn't seem to work when in the 3D world/mission itself. It seems to work up until entering the actual mission. Any ideas? I'm on the latest DCS and SRS releases. Thanks! The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. ============================= AMD 9950X3D CPU, 96Gb RAM// NVIDIA 5090 // SSD only // VKB STECS Mini+ Throttle / TM Warthog FCS / MFG Rudder Pedals / Physical Cockpit // TrackIR or VR// Win11 Pro 64bit //

Nice to not have to use the mouse when you have the buttons when you set a button to master arm it is in fact a toggle. So you can switch on/off with the same bind. 1
