Target Designator Slew Speed

[159th_Viper]

Recently Installed LockOn again after an absence and encountered a peculiarity in that the Slew Speed of the Targeting Marker in the HUD/Shkval of the T-Toad moves too fast when slewed with the default [;,./] keys, so much so that it makes Accurate/Hasty locking of Targets almost impossible as it is constantly overshooting due to the Speed/Sensitivity of the Input via the TM Cougar.

 

Any way one can tone down the Speed of the Slewing, either In-Game or via Foxy?

 

Assistance Appreciated :)

I use a X52 Pro but I set my hat-switch so that it taps the move keys at a suitable rate when I hold the hat in a position.

So I recorded a single stroke and replay it as a repeating macro so to speak.. Maybe this is possible on the cougar as well?

Another idea is to set your mini-stick if you can, to act as the mouse, then setup LO to use the mouse to control the Targeting Marker.

Without sending me to delve Knee-Deep in Foxy for fear of drowning, have you instructions on how to attend to that?

Sorry for going a bit off topic, but that must be applicable to the X52 Pro as well? =D never thought of that idea. I'll have to give it a go.

Viper, try use old good mouse instead. I use this and I decide what speed TD has ;]. Very useful in combat, especially A-A with Vikhrs.

Setting it to mouse axes works perfectly. Thanks for the great tip!

Too bad you can't do the same for Black Shark (or at least I didn't find a way)

I am trying to do this, Iam looking for script examples in AutoHotKey application.

 

I use it mixed with helmet - I mean I turn on helmet and script. It presses automatically O key and I slew TV via mouse. But it is not same like in LO.

I'm quite OK with my current config, where I've got a small macro programmed in my SST-software that continually taps the slew-keys in the direction I want to slew with my HAT-switch. I've even programmed the macro so that I can slew diagonally rather well.

It works OK but granted, it'd be a lot better with real axes to play around with! (like a genuine coolie-hat)

For my cougar I use the following statement:

 

MIX 5 17 (0 6 12 18 24 29 35 41 47 53 59 65 71 76 82 88 94 100)MSX(-40)MSX(-30)MSX(-20)MSX(-12)MSX(-7)MSX(-4)MSX(-2)MSX(-1)MSX(0)MSX(1)MSX(2)MSX(4)MSX(7)MSX(12)MSX(20)MSX(30)MSX(40)

 

MIY 5 17 (0 6 12 18 24 29 35 41 47 53 59 65 71 76 82 88 94 100)MSY(40)MSY(30)MSY(20)MSY(12)MSY(7)MSY(4)MSY(2)MSY(1)MSY(0)MSY(-1)MSY(-2)MSY(-4)MSY(-7)MSY(-12)MSY(-20)MSY(-30)MSY(-40)

 

then I set Device "Mouse" "Axis":

Axis0 to TDS slew horizontal and Axis1 to TDS slew vertical.

What Polecat said above. I use CH stuff myself.

[159th_Viper]

Ta All :)

 

Managed with the Following statement: [USE MTYPE A3] with T1 designated as the Left Mouse-Button thanx to the Foxy Wizard.

Works a Charm.

I also use CH- and I have the same issue. Apparently- FPS is the problem. High performance= high FPS = high speed. I set it to mouse as well, and although it's not completely satisfactory, here's what I've done:

 

lowered the character rate in CHM (47)

 

if there is a sensitivity setting- drop it down big time. (10)

 

before flight- control panel\mouse\pointer options\ slide to slowest setting

 

LOMAC has a key for slowing cockpit mouse speed (alt+rightshift)

 

Still fast, but much improved. It varies with the plane. Quick, but very useable for fighter (SU33) Kind of difficult in SU25T. Even varies with the zoom level.

 

There is supposedly a script for it too- but I don't know where to find it, or how to implement it.

[Stratos]

Is not possible to slow the Target Designator speed without altering the joystick profiles? Want to say changing a parameter withing Lomac itself.

Or maybe this problem was fixed in FC2.0?
