how to configure keys for holding down the right mouse button and move the mouse to looking around in the cockpit and after leaving the right mouse button it return to the normal clickable mode??

You can use Alt+C to toggle between mouselook (move mouse to look around) and mouse-as-cursor for clicking on things.

 

I don't think you can bind the right mouse button, since you need that to interact with some of the controls (and some of the knobs need mouse wheel up/down).

As you can do pretty much anything you want with AutoHotkey, I' m sure there would be a way to do that...

 

But you have to tell how to make the difference when you need to address what nomdeplume described to interact with the clickable cockpit buttons. That could be through some delay policy, modifer key, combined TARGET scripting...

TrackIR will save you from this problem and elaborate key mappings for view issues. :)

So it doesn't work like Black shark? You could have the movable view WITH the crosshair to set switches?

Hope this isn't true.

It is not the default - but it is possible to set - back in 1 min to find out how...

Found it.

 

 

Aha! It appears the 3rd Hybrid mode is still in Warthog, just turned off by default.

 

option is always available in the

Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\clickable_common.lua

 

just set

 

use_click_and_pan_mode = true

Well need say before starting DCS A10C, i had never think buy a TrackIR, now i get one, i need say this is surely one of the best investment i have made this past year.

 

Wow, this change your life and specially the "vision" you have of sim ... and funny enough it work too really well with some racing games.

Thanks NATE- I just got the sim and was struggling with this

I've been making a lot of use of snapviews too.

 

RCtrl+NumPad0 then Numpad 1 for Radios, 4 for Left MFD, 6 for Right MFD, 2 for CDU, 3 for ILS panel.

 

I'd suggest actually swapping the mapping so that RCtrl+Num0 = glance and just NumPad0 is toggle the view mode so you can just hit 01 and see your radios or 06 and get a full screen TGP view or something.

+1 for head tracking. It's really immersive and fantastic for situational awareness. I only pause it sometimes when mid air refueling to keep relative position to the tanker.
