nickmow Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maswi Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Maybe i missunderstood, but i think you'll find what you're searching for under: Options -> Controlls Category CDU and/or UFC 0 key 1 key A key B key and so on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorX Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

WarriorX Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

shu77 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 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 Hornet, Super Carrier, Warthog & (II), Mustang, Spitfire, Albatross, Sabre, Combined Arms, FC3, Nevada, Gulf, Normandy, Syria AH-6J i9 10900K @ 5.0GHz, Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, Cooler Master ML120L, Gigabyte RTX3080 OC Gaming 10Gb, 64GB RAM, Reverb G2 @ 2480x2428, TM Warthog, Saitek pedals & throttle, DIY collective, TrackIR4, Cougar MFDs, vx3276-2k Combat Wombat's Airfield & Enroute Maps and Planning Tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
