Oneway Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 First post...attempting to migrate to LOMAC from WW2 sim... How do I set my Hat (view) to simply snap left, right, back...then back left, back right, forward left, forward right... I have been messing with the controller set up be it keeps panning... I do not want it to pan...I want the view to snap look left, and then on release re-center forward... I also typically use a modifier button on my stick which is view up... so If I look forward left with the hat, and use the modifier I am looking: forward-left and up... Technical curve on this app is steep, be patient as I try to get things set up... <<S>> Oneway Running an x52 pro without the saitek software...hoping to get what I want from within the game so I don't have to load that junk...
Oneway Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 Figuring a bit of this out via the "Glance" commands...but the picture is not fleshed out/its ambiguous Where is: Glance Left Rear Glance Right Rear Glance Left Forward Glance Right Forward How can I set my View Hat to simply roll through the octal points of a typical switch and produce a snapping pan effect on the horizontal perspective Headings relative: 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315 and back to 0/360 ...and when the hat loses focus it snaps back to 0/360
Oneway Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Total failure in getting the basic HAT views to work... Glance seems not to be the answer.. Neither is the "Cockpit Views" section Mapping the HAT to cockpit views selections simply results in a snappy view change...no interim pan from one view angle to the next... Again I do not want to pan my view...I want to hit hat left or right and see my field of view pan to left or right...and lock on to that view direction...AND when the hat is released it RE-Centers What happened to standard HAT views....the kind that are programmed into nearly every flight sim on the planet? Hat left pan and look left...release re-center....hat right pan and look right...release and re-center.... Oneway Setting this game aside until someone can enlighten me...

Oneway Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) So I will assume (based on the lack of response) that the game does not have the ability to set up a hat switch so one can simply hat left or right and look left or right and upon release it pans back forward? Would this be a correct assumption? I was shocked when looking at the controls set up there is not a "View Left", "View Right", "View Forward Right", "View Forward Left", "View Back Left", "View Back Right"...like 99.9% of every other flight sim ever created... Instead I found: View slow left, view slow right etc...and the glance stuff which did not solve or answer my issue, nor the custom snap...which was instantaneous view change instead of panning action... Comon guys...what am I missing here? I simply want to set up my hat switch to look left or right or whatever and snap back forward when released.... It cant be that difficult....or is the game totally all about Track IR? Oneway Edited May 4, 2010 by Oneway

Oneway Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 I dug up my Track IR 4 Pro...and have forced myself to use it and have abandoned all desire to use coolie switches for view control... I have never been a TIR fan for the WW2 sims I fly because I am a bomber pilot... LOMAC...has given me a reason to revisit that decision and its working well with the 6DOF mod.... Salute Oneway
