Scroll-Lock modifier for TrackIR not working anymore

I have imported the joystick config from 1.2 to 1.5 and Scroll-Lock as modifier is not working anymore for switching zoom in TrackIR based on sniperwolfpk5´s nice howto:

It is not possible anymore too, to insert Scroll-Lock modifier in the menue.

Would be very nice if someone has a hint to editing some files manually to get it working again, because this is really important for me. I don´t really understand whats the reason for changing this...

best regards,

In Mig-21 Scroll-lock + keys are already assign to "Record cursor..." - whats mean that "scroll-lock" are used as "shift". Maybe is similar in Ka-50.

Is need clear this - few used - command to be able to use scroll-lock as "switches" modifier.

A key or button can be "shift" (momentarily) or "switches" (ON/OFF) modifier, but not both.

BTW - Maybe you forget to add "Scroll" as Modifier > Switches. ;)

Try R.Win instead of scroll lock. As i checked, it is not used at all in many modules. Whenever you try to create a modifier first make sure it is not used already by any key combination

Thx for your hints so far!

I fiddled arround and somehow i get the Scroll-Lock modifier back into TrackIR-Zoom-Menu but zoom (switch) itself in 1.5 with Scroll-Lock is not working anymore as in DCS 1.2.

When playing the still installed DCS 1.2 the behaviour is/was as:

1x Scroll-Lock press and moving head forward (TrackIR Z-Axis) = zoom (change FOV for better recognize enemys)

1x Scroll-Lock press again for getting back standard cockpit view TrackIR Z-Axis for leaning forward/backward again.

If using this kind of control there is a very great flow in usability and gameplay i can recommend to everyone who has TrackIR.

Now i press Scroll-Lock and nothing than a ultra small not useful and interrupted/stuttered zoom happens and also when pressing the Scroll-Lock twice instead of one time as usual. Seems broken somehow.

I tested out with R-Win key but the problem is, that you need to press it as long you like to zoom and thats very unhandy and not wanted.

What i need is a switch. Either fixed Z-Axis FOV-zoom or Z-Axis leaning as in previous v1.2.

Seems that something has changed in DCS 1.5 but i need this very handy funktion back as i´m so used to it. Maybe some TrackIR users can replicate the issue with Scroll-Lock in that way of use.

I have DCS 1.5 installed on two different mashines each with TrackIR5 and the issue is the same with both.

Ok guys the Scroll-Lock modifier is working now to zoom after several playing arround:)

But if pressing the Scroll-Lock button for activating zoom, a very (too) small FOV (around 80 degrees) is suddenly set and saved so the only way to "come out" is to change the FOV manually with numeric keyboard which is a no go. In which .lua is this "new" FOV to find???

I compared the FOV settings from 1.2 but it does not work in 1.5.

What i already edited:

C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\SnapViewsDefault.lua

[13] = {--default view

viewAngle = 103,--FOV

C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\Server.lua

CameraViewAngleLimits = {40.000000,120.000000},
