FlightControl Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Does anybody know how to use the Logitech G940 "mode switch" on the throttle to configure different "modes" for the joystick? It seems that in the BS2 command mapper, the mode switch does not seem to work, or, am i doing something wrong here? F.e., i would like to have "mode 1" dedicated to "targeting" commands, and mode 2 dedicated to "flight" commands.

You might be able to program it to do something in the sim but that is not what it is there for.

FlightControl Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thank you. Unfortunately, in the Logitech Profiler, a BS2 profile does not exist. Neither does it recognize at all DCS BS2 and DCS A-10C... Or, is there any workaround for this one?

Fri13 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sorry to revive old thread but it would be nice to hear if someone has knowledge of binding the MODE switch to anything in Windows. I have tried to search windows program what would allow to read input from that switch and bind it to even keyboard button, what I could then assign as a switch in DCS:BS but I have not found such program for Windows. For Linux I know what can read all inputs on any device to see what are the codes but the SSD died and is waiting replacement. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

As far as I know, the mode switch is not visible "from outside", it is not implemented as a regular joystick button. It can only be used with the logitech software.

It can only be used with the logitech software. I have send official request/recommendation for Logitech to consider if they would release a final firmware what would reveal that switch functions to Windows. Their respond time is 6-8 weeks usually and it has been now 2 weeks. Some kind a output that device needs to send to computer as Logitech Gaming Software can read its position. I don't keep hopes up but very faint dream is that if they would allow DirectX to see switch position, G940 would gain a huge boost for its life time. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Yeah, but asking doesn't hurt. :o) My ideal solution would be, that the mode switch would change the USB id of the device. That way you could have 3 separate HOTAS (3 separate columns in the DCS Options) ... imagine what one could do with THAT ....:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you could have 3 separate HOTAS (3 separate columns in the DCS Options) ... imagine what one could do with THAT ....:P Just having each of its position seen as a separate button would be great.. I wouldn't mind using the Logitech Profiler if it was at least as advanced as Saitek SST (with the separate press and release key mappings available). The way it is, the combo key combinations mostly don't work properly if pressed continuously and the forced option to tie every profile to some exe file is super annoying, so using that software is an exercise in frustration mostly. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

TRITATUTTO Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The mode switch works fine , but you have to edit it in the logitech profiler. It you want have multiple profiles for DCS in the the g940 profiler logitech ( for each module that you have ) do this : AMD Phenom II x4 945 3.0ghz 8G Ram Windows 7 64bit ATI Radeon HD 5700 1G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yep, that's the way to do it. I use the Logitech software (which has its problems but works ok) to get what I can out of my stick. It becomes really versatile then. I don't need it for BS2 (not anymore at least since I have TrackIR) but I use it for A-10C and for Falcon BMS.
