bin801 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Question as title In Manual Page 87, as Figure 69 control stick shows, there is a yellow colored, little finger trigger below stick's hand rest. what is that for? what is the function? is that operational in DCS? I didn't find the answer in A-10 Manual or in DCS/Control setting/Hotas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTFreeFlyer Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Good question. I do see it there in photos of the real cockpit too. I have the TMWH stick and it includes a pinky lever where the yellow trigger is shown. It is non-functional in default bindings but I use it as a modifier so that if I’m holding it down I can assign a new function to all the switches. This doubles the amount of things I can do with the HOTAS.

Lucky7 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'm not sure, but it doesn't look like a switch. Seems to be something like a safety guard making sure that the screw that holds the stick does not loosen accidentally (vibrations etc). But maybe its just the button for the smarties dispenser;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 SAS Emergency Disconnect. More info here, for example. It is operational in DCS, but even with the TM Warthog it isn't bound by default. Then again, can't say I've ever found a need to use it, so if you have the TM Warthog, it's fine to use the paddle switch for something else IMO (plus, the paddle switch is in a different position anyway). :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzU Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I use it to center Trackir. When I had VKB rudder pedals I used it for brakes. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faelwolf Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I use it as a modifier so I can double purpose some switches for convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
