Just add the lines "ICommandMenuItem1... in -- Communication section of joystick default.LUA, after the last existing entry, that is

_('COMM Push to talk'),

 

-- Communications

Im thinking of hardwiring this voice commands option into my sons XBOX, then when he randomly loses it and the neighbours can hear him shout "FCUK" at the top of his voice, his XBOX will shut down.

 

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

 

How do you tell voice commands what to do, do you just record F1-F12 and "Backspace" into viacom and map it to F1-12 / etc?

You can set "Menu" and "Foxtrot One...Foxtrot Two...Foxtrot Three...etc" via Voiceattack. Then you can say "Menu"..."Foxtrot One"...Foxtrot Six...etc" as an example. This could be a backup if all else fails.

I've tried as close as I can to what you suggested but with no success.

  1. You have now changed the code from your first post.
  2. I don't have the same code to follow like you have in your default.lua file.
  3. Attached is my default.lua please put the code in so I see where you are talking about and color the code red so I can easily find it.

 

default.lua

 

 

 

 

Thanks again.

I change the code because I move "Menu Items" from General to Communications category, just for convenience.

 

But test your attached code with lines added - option for set joystick buttons for "menu items" will appear in General - don't find Communications category in this plane.

I don't have this module to test.

I replaced the DCS file with yours into DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick/default.lua

Unfortunately it still does not show up in the controls options under the 'General' or the 'All' drop down options.

Perhaps something in LUA change for this new plane...

If you make a test with TF-51D can confirm.

 

The only jet I have installed is MiG-21, test with then too and work.

By "test" I mean start a mission and use COMM pressing stick buttons.

I am looking for a way to map the 'F1-F12' keys that control the comms menu and sub-menu to my HOTAS without using keyboard mapping software. However when mapping directly through DCS the 'F1-F12' keys open 'views' and do not control the comms menu.

Is there a way without keyboard mapping software to map the comms menu?

 

 

Thank you.

Ive been using this mod once for the very reasons you mentioned, was very good...

Give it a try.

Thanks for the info but is this mod still functional? I went to the link, it's quite old and there are lots of confusion/questions.

 

Still working, I did a test - had some occasional unwanted F-12 view camera.

 

Like author say is for guys that want keep hands ON stick or throttle, although seems nice at start, navigate between F1 and F12 - e.g select an ATC, with HAT became boring fast. :D

 

Since is an external program - an AutoHotKey script, use ~2/3% of CPU; IMHO better use Voice Attack.
