Winamp in DCS?

[TeeJay82]

So im fiddeling with using winamp with global commands in DCS... This proves to be a hard task for me so im turing to you for some advice :)

 

Ive set winamp global commands for play/pause and volume with ALT+CTRL+SHIFT used as modifiers for winamp

 

I get them to work in the DCS Main menu, but as soon as i jump in a cockpit, its not working anymore. i managed to get it working by disabling fullscreen and alt tabbing to winamp, and hiding it in a corner but then, as soon as i wanna click on stuff in the pit, the commands are disabled again :S works well for FC3, but not for the clickable pits..

 

Any of you managed to use winamp commands in dcs while its running in the background id love to hear from you :)

Nah sorry. I have used Winamp as my media player for years and I too like to use the Hotkeys in games when possible. But, some games, it just wont work. DCS being one example. It must be to do with the way the game grabs the input resources of the PC.

If you use TrackIR in DCS World you don't need the assigned NUM1 to NUM9 keys and can clear all these in the DCS World keyboard asssignment. Do that and set WINAMP to use NUM7, NUM8 and NUM9 or any other NUMX combination.

 

EDIT: You may wish to keep NUM5 assignment as this resets your cockpit view. I use that all the time myself.

The most easy way is to have a keyboard with multimedia functions (play/stop/fwd etc) and use whatever player you want in background. No burdening, no extra buttons mapping or so. Just plug and p®ay :)
