CDU and UFC using keyboard


nickmow

Recommended Posts

Hi guys been looking and searching for an answer, I have the release version and now the 1.0.1.6 patch. Id love to use my CH MFP as an input device but I cannot find how to bind keyboard keys to the buttons on the UFD and or CDU. That is to say they do not show up in Controls in the Options menu. Where am I going wrong and is there a fix ?:thumbup:

hi nickmow, I have just your answer, as I did the very same thing with my CH MFP's before I got Helios.

 

You need to go into the CH Control Manager software and make each button a Direct X button. Once all your CH MFP buttons are assigned as a Direct X joystick button, then save and load that profile in the CH Control Manager. (you will hear windows, acknowledge the creation and recognition of of your CH MFP as a new controller)

 

Now, open up DCS A-10C and go into controls and you will now see a column with the CH identifier.

 

Choose what control you want mapped to each button and assign them as usual.

Oh and remember nickmow, that you need to run the CH Control Manager again and load that profile after each reboot of your machine. It will not automatically load up by itself.

I tried mapping my CDU on the weekend, using LEFT SHIFT and the letter seems to work fairly well without replacing any important functions. UFC for me is the NumPAD and arrow keys for the data and selector rockers
