Joe Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Looked at it. If you have a Cougar and *if* you have leaned how to use Foxy, I see no advantage to it. OTOH if you own a Warthog HOTAS (I hate you people!) then it is crucial. If you never really learned nor understood Foxy, a good move. T.A.R.G.E.T.'s J-curve throttle curve shaping alone is much more useful and intuitive for controlling throttle response around the afterburner detent than Foxy is.

Panzertard Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 T.A.R.G.E.T gives me the opportunity to define swithc-positions for 3-way switches which only emulate 2 buttons in DCS through DX. DX example, in DCS: Switch1 Forward = Btn55 Switch1 Middle = <nothing, undefined> not possible to detect. Swicth1 Aft = Btn56 TARGET pseudo code result: Switch1 Forward = CTRL+A Switch1 Middle = <not FOR not AFT> = SHIFT+M Swicth1 Aft = SHIFT+B Success. The mind is like a parachute.

kylania Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Success. Wouldn't you constantly be holding down Ctrl-M in that case? Does that not conflict with other Ctrl+ options or is this a one time thing? Like it does Ctrl-M once, then doesn't do anything else till you change it's state?

No, you can define that as well using the PULSE keyword, see "Script Editor Basics" PDF page 16 The mind is like a parachute.

Like it does Ctrl-M once, then doesn't do anything else till you change it's state? Depends how you program it. Like Panzertard said, you can tell T.A.R.G.E.T. to only pulse the "CTRL+m" command, sending it once. Thrustmaster did a very nice job thinking about the potential problems caused by always-on switches and gave us very nice solutions with T.A.R.G.E.T.
