Col. Clark GRUNT Half Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 They seem wasted in this sim to me, is there any use for them? e.g. my usage for Shkval: Throttle Thumb Rotator: Zoom view or Target Box Size. Set up as an Axis. Check Options->Ka-50->Axis assign for possible usage. Keep in mind, that all three (slider, rotator1, rotator2) might be sloppy and need fine tuning using a deadzone.

mmaruda Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I used to use rotaries for zoom view, but they are spiking, so the view bounces (only happens in DCS for some reason, Il-2, Falcon, and other sims don't have that problem). Other than that... no use for them in BS.
lokitexas Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 You can also use them for the engine throttles. i5 3570k @ 4.3 560ti GTX 2gig 8gig RAM Intel SSD Win7 64bit
mmaruda Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 No point in that, you only use the throttles on start-up, or emergency. What I'd really like is some axis filtering like IL-2 has - it would help with the spiking and make axis useful as trimmers.

Getting an engine fire, and having to shut one down and crack the throttle on the other I find very useful. As this is the BS section, and the OP asked for its use for the Ka-50, I dont think that using the rotaries for trim on the chopper would be very helpful. i5 3570k @ 4.3 560ti GTX 2gig 8gig RAM Intel SSD Win7 64bit
Devrim Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I use; * Mouse wheel > Track Gate Size, * Slider > Zoom, * Upper rotary > Shkval brightness (Shkval contrast {in mode2}), * Lower rotary > HMS brightness. :D Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 SuperSuprimX | Corsair V. 64GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | TM Warthog Stick w/AVA Base | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 & M.Quest3 VR >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068
ajax Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I use: Mouse-wheel click = normal zoom Top rotary = fine rudder control Thumb rotary (three bands: 0-33, 33-66, 66-100%) = zoom in/out Thumb slider (two bands: 0-50, 50-100%) = center TrackIR Edited December 5, 2012 by ajax
71st_Mastiff Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 i use the rotaries for zoom in and gate size.. you have to make bands, for it to work.

RoosTa Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I use the solution PeterP posted for zoom: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1584023&postcount=2 No more jitters and its much quicker to zoom in/out
Devrim Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Yes, I use this tecnique too. And my other settings: Slider setting. Left-most short part: to view all cockpit. I just pull the slider. Left side (of cursor): suitable view for flight to me. Right side (or cursor): zoom for near area or looking at panels. Rigth-most short part: max. zoom for far distance. Just pushing the slider to the end of it. Mouse wheel for "tracking gate size" adjust. Rotary adjust with "bands".

Sholtz Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Great info here! I use the solution PeterP posted for zoom: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1584023&postcount=2 No more jitters and its much quicker to zoom in/out I like this config too. Before I found this zooming in and out was a total crap shoot. Looking into bands for the rotaries....I hate to think I am wasting any potential here :D
