Moki Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi all, I have seen people who have uploaded their key bindings for various aircraft (Thank you), I am having trouble figuring out how they use or made the lever on the joystick to act as a "mode 2" Can someone explain how to add this function or create the "Mode 2"? I know that their are modifiers in the keybindings but I don't see anything for the lever Thanks, Moki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA_Clutter Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) In TARGET select the Advanced option when first creating a profile. After adding the controllers you will have an option to change the control modifiers. There you can set the buttons for In and Out modifier, as we as the Upper, Middle and Lower layers. EDIT. It is called "Edit Layers" and it in the Assign Parameters window, upper right hand corner.

Supmua Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) How to create "Mode 2" Function for HOTAS If you use Target it’s better to set modifier key or layer there rather than in DCS for more flexibility—DCS setting can’t take advantage of short vs long press, toggle sequence, or macro/chain input.

hreich Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) If you use target script editor, you can set it up like this: SetShiftButton(&Joystick, S4, &Throttle, BSF, BSB);// Pinky paddle as shift + Boat switch activates layers (mode1, mode2, mode3 as you call it) Examples how to setup buttons (different output when different mode/layer selected): example1 MapKeyUMD(&Joystick, S4, 'u', 'm', 'd'); //when pressing the S4 button, if layer UMD master switch (boat switch on right throttle) is Up, generates a “u”, if middle generates an “m” and if Down, generates a “d" example2 - using layers (using boat swtch) + submodes (using s4 as shift button) - I means "IN" as shift pressed, O means "out" as shift not pressed MapKeyIOUMD(&Joystick, S4, KP1, KP2, KP3, KP4, KP5, KP6); This one is clearly not easy to read, but we can change the way we display it. MapKeyIOUMD(&Joystick, S3, KP1, // BSF button, if shift button In generate Keypad 1 KP2, //BSF, if shift button Out generate Keypad 2 KP3, // BSM, if shift button In generate Keypad 3 KP4, // BSM, if shift button Out generate Keypad 4 KP5, //BSB, if shift button In, generate Keypad 5 KP6); //BSB, if shift button Out, generate Keypad 6 I know its a lot, but ask if you need any more help Edited June 27, 2019 by hreich [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Pilot from Croatia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moki Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thank you all for the input. I got plenty of work to do on figuring and practicing using the TARGET software. I typically have been inputting the controls in DCS manually. I am sure its a very rookie mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA_Clutter Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Don't hesitate to ask questions. There is an utility that helps convert the keyboard.html to a TRAGET Macro file. It id "DCS_TARGET_Macro_File_Generator". It is pretty good and easy to use. You still have to setup your profile, but it helps. Or at least I like it.
