Guy Smiley Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Hi, I have mapped both the HSI course increase/decrease and also the Heading Bug inc/dec to rocker switches on one of my controllers. I find that it is way too sensitive. Even the slightest tap on the rocker switch will move it several degrees. This makes it very difficult to dial in a precise course or heading. I searched the forum, but didn't see anything, but apologies if this has been asked before. Is there any way to tone down the sensitivity of the button and/or keyboard command for HSI inc/dec so that I can have more control? Edited December 13, 2012 by Guy Smiley typo

Have you tryed reducing the sensitivity in your controlers options slider? Can't be done in game. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

Sounds like Guy's using a switch like the rockers on the base of the X-52 joysticks. If so there's no way to adjust their sensitivity either via SST. He might be SOL. Bummer cause after reading his idea, I wanted to do something similar. ____________ PC Specs Intel i5-4670k@ 4.5Ghz 16GB of Corsair what difference does it make RAM nVidia EVGA GTX 760 Couple SSD's and a couple mechanical drives 27" Acer LCD Monitor (1920 x 1080) 19" ELO Touchscreen (1280 x 1024) :joystick: Saitek X-52 :joystick: Saitek Rudder Pedals TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Helios running custom profile for A10C based on Loz's profile.
Guy Smiley Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, I couldn't find any way to change the input sensitivity for a joystick button key press. It is worse than I thought actually: even when you release the button the Course and or Heading Bug knob actually continues to rotate as if it had inertia! For instance if my Course knob is set at 180 and let's say I want to put it to 195, it is a matter of lucky timing if you can actually get the heading knob to stop within 5 degrees. Using the mousewheel seems to be the only option at this point, but the whole point of mapping it to a controller is so that you don't have to use the mouse. As many people coming to DCS from the world of FSX know, the function of mapping up and down functions such as hdg bugs, course knobs, radio knobs etc to a joystick rocker switch is such a basic function, that I'm actually going to report this as a bug that needs to be fixed.
wiltzu Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I've started controlling the knobs via keyboard and for mentioned reasons it's very aggravating. Why can't 1 button tap equal 1 degree of change, and holding it would cause faster rotation?

mr_mojo97 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I've ot the opposite problem actually. I use rotary encoders inluding one for this and I find I have to turn the knob far too much to get it to move!
