Contols: Mapping button numbers to the hardware ?

[KorVet]

I notice that some controls mapping uses button numbers like "joy btn 23" or "slider" so and so. But, I have no idea where button 23 is located or where the sliders are. I can't find an image that places the DCS button numbers. I have the MFCDs and the TM Warthog so there are plenty of possibilities.. I need a picture! The picture on page 18 of the Quick Start Guide names the buttons/hats/etc but not the numbers that match the ones used in "Options/Controls"

The numbers are dependent on the particular controller you're using. If you're using the TM Warthog then the mapping is 1:1, i.e. the TMS on the HOTAS is mapped to the TMS in the game. Same for the MFDs.

 

On the controller configuration screen, if you press a button (joystick, key, etc.) it'll jump to that position in the controls so you can see what it's mapped to. In beta 4 the position it jumps to might be slightly out, but it still highlights the appropriate row.

And if you are looking for a picture of the stick and throttle with the numbers etc. Install but do not use the Target software.

 

Open the Target GUI and on the first screen on the left under the "How do I?" hit the drop down you will see HOTAS Warthog Joystick (or throttle) button names. Click on it and you'll get a picture and all the numbers. Print...
