TAIPAN_ Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I fly mostly zoomed right out, but the HUD snapview is perfect for checking whats ahead of me and looking down the gunsight. However when holding the snapview, I cannot fire the cannon or make any other controls work for that matter. Are all controls supposed to be disabled when using snapviews? Is there any way to make the gun work when using the view system? Many Thanks Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
BiPod Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) If by "holding" snapviews you mean holding the key down while trying to fire, then I beleive you are right, the gun will not fire*. You can latch the snap views by pressing RCtrl-Num0. Then press once to go to hud view and..."Guns, guns, guns." You can definately fire in HUD view, that's my standard method. RCtrl-Num0 again to unlatch. *I encountered this problem while SST programming my x52. IIRC You couldn't fire with a change view key set to down. I haven't tried the keyboard method so I could be wrong. Hope this helps, BiPod. EDIT: I have now tried with the keyboard and it fires perfectly for me in all cases. So I can't help, sorry :(.

Le0kong Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I use the default LWin+Numpad5 snap-view(HUD point of view), mapped to one of the HOTAS buttons through DCS itself(not through the HOTAS Profiler), during gun runs and they work simultaneously ok.

TAIPAN_ Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Mapping the directx button in DCS itself didnt work - no cannon. However mapping the keycombination of holding down NUM0 and NUM5 does work now. Gun runs are much better! Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
lennycutler Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I tried to map the Num0 +Num5 Combo on my Hotas Warthog. I could not figure out how to use this combination of keys with a Modifier and the Mic Hat Switch on the Throttle. Can this be done?

TAIPAN_ Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Yep are you using target script or GUI? The target GUI is not very useful at the moment you have to edit the file in notepad for double keys that are not alt ctrl etc. If script you use the chain() function. I've moved to using target script only and have some awesome profiles now but it's time consuming to build and test. Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
lennycutler Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 No..not using scripts or target for DCS A-10. Seems to me that ED should enable the gun to fire when using snap view for the HUD. If not a Bug...than a logical enhancement for the next patch. Velocity MicroI7-4790 Windows 7 Home Premium 16Gigs RAM EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1070 500GB SSD TM Hotas Warthog
