How To:Radio Menu control with Mouse Gestures

[PeterP]

Made a config for this very nice AHK program :

http://www.autohotkey.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=83057&highlight=mouse+gestures

 

...to be able to control all F-keys with mouse gestures.

As it is not possible to enable a click-able radio-menu in DCS 1.2.0 like you could in 1.1.1.1

 

 

 

I configured my touch-screen to report a Right-Click when I hold a single point longer the 0.3sec - than you have 0.8 seconds to draw the gesture.

 

 

 

Here are two demonstrations:

 

 

 

Standalone EXE is attached and compiled for 64bit.

 

When you want to configure it differently - you will have to follow the link at the top and download the complete project.

 

But be assured - I was tweaking the gestures and starting points so that it is (nearly) impossible to activate a different command that you wanted - when the gesture is not fitting - no other command will be executed.

 

Please share with me your thoughts when you have a better config.

Tip: Even if you are first overwhelmed by this "language" and it is more tricky for you then using the regular F-keys in DCS:

Print the commands and put them somewhere visible near your monitor.

... and add the exe to your autostart. - so its always active so you are able to use them any-time you want.

I bet you will soon start to use some of them from time to time and finally you will be so familiarised with them to use them only. - that how it worked for me.

-just give the things a little time. :)
