Sr. Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 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!

e4mafia Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 VERY resourceful innovation! Congrats, dude! My Box Intel i10-850k, 32GB 3600 DDR, 1TB Crucial M.2 NVMe drive, RTX1080ti "Armor", Rift-S, and a piece of crap low end TM "HOTAS".

Sokol1_br Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Can you move/emulate the mouse cursor with that? Can, using JoyTokey, XPadder, Joystick Gremlin, what can allow set "modes" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Can, using JoyTokey, XPadder, Joystick Gremlin, what can allow set "modes" too. So if I get one like an old Xbox controller, with JoyTokey, XPadder, Joystick Gremlin, I can replace my mouse? Banned by cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr. Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) 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.

Sokol1_br Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So if I get one like an old Xbox controller, with JoyTokey, XPadder, Joystick Gremlin, I can replace my mouse? If that XBox controller is seem by Windows, Games as joystick, you can use the mentioned software. But seems that JoyTokey handle XImput too.
