Shkval zoom and target gate

[SchooBaka]

I've searched for answers and watched/read all the tutorials I can find. I still cant figure this out.

I'm running BS 1.0.2 on the instant action mission.

When targeting with the Shkval I cant change zoom and gate. I've got it mapped to my ch pro thottle. Double checked the key bindings and they are right. Tried the keyboard as well, no joy.

Laser is on, helmet sight tracking works, can lock on and destroy targets with cannons so far, but have to get close to see em.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Are your switches on the Collective moving (in the sim)?

[SchooBaka]

I found that the gate switch is the only one that moves, and the gate gets smaller. It only moves that way though, then never any other adjusment. The keyboard keys dont seem to work either.

Just uninstalled it again, and installed v 1.0, Shkval zoom and gate still un adjustable.

Still cant figure this out. I've tried different combinations of shift, ctrl, alt and the -= [] and nothing works.

All I can figure is that I must have gotten a corrupted download.

Going to try and re download; at this rate I'm going to run out of activations soon.

You have messed up your default key/button bindings inside DCS?!

It should you give every info you need to get back to the default.

 

!!! Using profiles from others without knowing in which exact DCS version they are created should be done only with high caution and make a backup beforehand !!!

If you exchanged the default keyboard lua inside you DCS install - and not only in your saved-games path - I would recommend you to run a DCS repair (reachable within the windows-Start menu) - to be sure you have the right files.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot if it still does not work after the re-download and install.

I did check the keys in settings though and they were still mapped to the default -=[]. I also double checked my map settings in ch control manager.

I couldnt get them to work from the joystick or the keyboard.

The weird thing is that I could initially make the target gate smaller, but not bigger, and no response from zoom.

Worth a shot though, thanks again.

Make sure nothing (that shouldn't be) is bound in the "Axis" menu aswell.

[SchooBaka]

hmmm,

didn't think the zoom and gate were mappable to an axis, but that's worth checking out as well.

I've got the Shkval mapped to the mini stick on my pro throttle; maybe I missed that selection.

Thanks!

Ok, got it figured out. I had to ditch the mapped mode in ch control manager and go direct mode. Then I had to set everything up in the controls section on Black Shark. I'm having trouble finding the master reset for the shkval and the lwr reset in the controls section, are they named something else?

Also, to get a mission success in the deployment fam mission, do you have to stay right up on the hind, or just fly the route? I got a ways behind him and had almost caught up at the end, but didnt see the mission success.

Shkval reset is called 'targeting reset' or something.

Staying closer might indeed be necessary for the triggers. Plus don't skip any waypoints.
