DS4 :button box"


Recommended Posts

Posted this in Cockpits... thought it might be better use here (sorry, new poster)

 

I recently added an old DS4 controller to the arm of my chair by removing the screws that hold the 2 halves together, slipped in some velcro tape. Easily attaches to the arm of my chair just behind the throttle (Thrustmaster T.flight 4)

 

 

 

 

 

Shows up in DCS controls as "Wireless Controller" and gives me an additional 14 easy to reach buttons. I have just about everything mapped for MFD, TGP, CHINA, air brakes, left analog stick is for TGP/Mav slew, zoom, lock to SPI.

 

It's a game changer for me... until I can hopefully afford a TM Warthog HOTAS or similar.

 

 

happy flying!

Can you move/emulate the mouse cursor with that?

 

Not sure without other app mentioned... I typically use one of the sticks on my X-56 now

 

I keep my mouse handy as backup.
