Los Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I too use a vr pit. I have my two MFDs right where they are supposed to be (w Monitors for BMS) as well as HOTAS and a cockpit driven by an arduino board. First off all these concerns about fumbling around are mitigated by actually flying with your configuration a few times (or ore) until as others have said you establish muscle memory. Same for the HOTAS. I also keep my mouse down by my right thigh so clicking things in the cockpit have never been an issue. I am also test the point control, as mentioned elsewhere and it works great. However I use it in conjunction with my actual VR pit and the two dont conflict. I do like the feel of moving actual switches. Los P.S> its OK to try things out and maybe once and a while you crash, its not like DCS deletes itself after every adverse event.

Thick8 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I have a Logitech T-650 touchpad mounted in front of my throttle. It’s configured for left click, right click, and scroll wheel. Plus I mapped general functions to the WH HOTAS. I never have to touch the keyboard or mouse (or peek under the HMD) when flying.

Not the desired approach that I’m trying to explore, but this is certainly an interesting way. Better than the track ball as I can feel.

Given that any mediocre guitar player knows how to strum 4, 5, or 6 strings for a given chord, it's not too difficult to move a few switches around. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobleSpoon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I got tired of fumbling with the motion controls to interact with cockpit so I started working on an MFD/UFC combo. It will also have a 3 way toggle switch to apply modifiers so I can switch between left/right/center MFDs. It's powered by a BBI-64. Just waiting on the hardware to arrive so I can start building. The BBI is going to be detachable via back panel so I can swap it between any future button boxes I decide to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobleSpoon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Still genius ! lol, thanks :) Once all my hardware arrives next week, I'll be able to get started. Once I have the design locked down, I'll share the CAD and STLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
