Integration of TIR API calls from within DCS?

[Scarecrow]

Just got Cliffs of Dover and I noticed that you can set TIR commands from within the sim, GT Legends provides the same functionality too. Would love to see the same in the DCS series someday if it were at all possible.

I have a TM Warthog so I use MSP for TIR toggle but I have to jab the keyboard for recentre which is kinda awkward, don't want to go down the Target route there's to much work involved. This would be of use to anyone who wants to avoid profiler software running in the background and it would compliment DCS's excellent control mapping system. As this is the wishing place I wish this could happen.

You can set one of your Warthog spare buttons to centre your TrackIR in the TIR software. In HotKeys select centre then click on Key and when you get 'Enter desired hotkey' press the desired button on your TM Warthog.

Yup already got MSP as toggle using that method, works fine but as I say I have to resort to the keyboard for recentre. Got the paddle switch as a modifier and I don't want to use slew press as in the thick of battle it might be problematic. It really isn't a big thing in the grand scheme but if the dev team could work this into the series in a future release the flexability would be better. I like programming any stick from within the sim, since Lockon 1.02 I've found the inbuilt system better than saitek or logitech's profilers and as I say I'm avoiding Target for A10c as it would be to much hassle to implement. It's just a wish not a moan, I think it would just make something great (DCS) even better.:thumbup:

I just use the Warthog paddle to centre my TrackIr. I can understand the problem though if you want to use modifiers.
