LockOn/FC G940 profile

[Bisch]

I can't believe I can't find profiles for the G940 anywhere.

(The stock G940 profile for LockOn that comes with the profiler software is rather small).

I have been asking for a profile at simhq already but people don't like to share I guess because there must be profiles.

 

So I want to to test my luck here. I would be even glad if it's a profile with unassigned commands although I really could use one with a layout as Im a jet noob.

(Reassigning the stock BS profile was no problem as I had enough experience with that nasty shark)

So you are the first one to provide a good one. Will ya?

Well, I used to give away my X36 saitekbased and dhauzimmerbased profiles. Im willing to enter all commands (but it will be based on german KB layout) but with my limited experience in jet simming I doubt I can create a nice assignment. This will take some time.

However, perhaps Im going to enter the keys at the weekend. I ll share it then of course.

I would give you my profile but I redefined alot of the FC keys so you would have to use my keyboard assignments aswell which would probably be less than ideal for you. I do have some hints though

 

1)Keypresses that have to be held like trim and target slew are better off being one keypress rather than combined keypresses i.e ctrl_up for trim up, the reason for this is that FC doesn't like the profilers reproduction of dual keypresses.

2) Put target slew on one of the throttle hats as it becomes really difficult to move the stick and manipulte the Hat switch at the same time.

3)I put trim on the castle hat on the stick and flight modes, A2A etc, on the the ministick (using zone commands).

4) Don't put any combat commands on S1 or S2 as they are impossible to reach in the heat of action.

5) The minstick commands can't be shifted using the shift button, it's a profiler bug, so its only good for 4 commands.

6) You can assign more than one shift button in the profiler so I have S5 on the stick and T3 on the throttle as it makes shifting easier when things get hectic.

7) You can use a zone command to assign wheel brakes to either toe brake on the pedals.

 

The rest is personal preferance really but if you apply the logic from your previous profile for the x36 it should be pretty easy. My final suggestion is get that HOTAS bolted down to your desk! I never felt that confident with the G940 until I secured it, now I can yank and bank without the fear of knocking my coffee all over my tower.

Thanks for the very good tips Scarecrow!

I ll keep them in mind when creating my profile.

 

Just a quick side note. I had a merged setup consisting of X36, MS FFB2 and Saitek Rudders and I had profiles for the X36 (used the throttle and the X36 handle on FFB base) but I never had one for LockOn. I just started to play LockOn to be ready for FC 2.0 ;)
