melchionda Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Does anyone find it strange that Wingsweep on the F14 is not one of the Axis Commands? On my Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle I have a slider next to the throttle for "Friction". I don't have it mapped to anything and its perfectly positioned to be a Wingsweep for the F14 but in DCS They want you to map Wingsweep to a button. Am I missing something here? Has anyone been able to map Wingsweep to something that slides? Also can we close the Wingsweep safety cover using a mouse or do we have to map that function to a button? I can see it in VR, and mouse over it but cant seem to interact with it unless I map it to a button.

ricktoberfest Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 As far as closing the cover goes, you have to point the mouse to where it attaches to the panel. As for the axis assignment, I think that mapping it to an axis would lead to people unrealistically manipulating it during dogfights and such. Realistically I’m told pilots never manually moved the wings in flight unless there was a problem. That’s why there’s a cover.

TLTeo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The wing sweep lever is a backup, override mechanism. If you want to manipulate wing sweep manually during flight (e.g. for the carrier break or refueling), there is a HOTAS function already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melchionda Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3911687&postcount=136 Ok... thats awesome. I'm assuming that you past this into like a lua file or something?

From the first post in the thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235229 Players can add these key binds by copying the above code and pasting in \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\keyboard\default.lua. NOTE - These will be erased at each update until HB bakes them into the mod its self. These are all subject to change pending HB's ultimate naming/category decision. In this case you're going to want to edit the file in joystick\default.lua instead of keyboard. Put the axes in around line 180 and the new buttons in the keycommands section above that. If you're not comfortable editing lua, you can just replace your joystick\default.lua with the one I attached to this post. Remember to back up any files in case you make a mistake.default.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to distinguish between the two operation modes: - normal, where you set Auto, Manual (move forward or aft) and Bomb modes for the wing sweep by a hat on right throttle - emergency wing sweep lever, which you operate only in emergency or during parking operation as this is only way to move the wings to/from the Oversweep 72° (no binding for the lever currently) To close the cover you also have to put the lever down into proper position.

It was not textbook, but some did it. I’m pretty sure that would be through the hotas buttons, not via the covered lever beside the throttle.
