Better Controls Editor

[Bluedrake42]

I hate that I have to rebind all my common view and menu controls every time I make a new profile. I would make a control save profile, but every time I load a profile from a different aircraft, it effectively disables a large amount of seemingly random control binds. Also sometimes its hard to even figure out which binds do what without alt-tabbing to see references etc.

 

I would like to suggest these changes for the controls editor:

1. Update DCS world so profiles never disable certain key binds for different planes (if a bind isn't found in a loaded profile it should just be cleared, not disabled)

2. Make an optional "common" profile where the controls are constant no matter what plane you choose. (this will be useful for view controls, and other common controls that stay the same between aircraft profiles)

3. For each sub-category of controls, add a numbered reference photo that shows which controls are which. (this will help new players figure out what they need to bind, and what is less important)

 

Possibly something like this:
