Modifiers in the axis view

I normally use a modifier within DCS to double my hotas buttons. However sometimes i forgot if i have already pushed it(i use it as a toggle).

Could it be added as a letter once clicked in the axis view? For example a small "M" in one of the corners.

There are two kinds of "Modifiers", "Modifiers" and "Switches"; yeah, thanks ED for making it easy to talk about this :mad:

Modifier-Modifiers are temporary, and work like <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Shift>, on your keyboard. They are only active, while you press and hold them pressed.

Modifier-Switches are toggles, which from your description, is what you are talking about. You press it once, and it's active the entire time, until you press it again, when it becomes inactive, like the <Shift-Lock> key on your keyboard.

In the Unix world, these are called Meta-Keys, and are fixed keys; you cannot create new ones. In DCS you can.

Maybe in DCS they should be called Pressed and Toggled Modifiers.

I use Modifier-Switches too, and wrote this RFI about them: Mode Selection Switch Configuration

Exactly, i was refering to toggle switches.

I read your post and i could not agree more with it. It is basically my suggestion but scaled up to a new level. Though i would be happy as well with a simple aid from the axis view (Rctrl Enter) so i could remember when some toggle has been left on by accident.

Once i accidentally jettinsoned my fuel tanks at the very start of a long mission when i was trying to chg my radar prf settings in the eagle. Never felt more stupid. Now i use non critical buttons when i need to remember the toggle position xd.

I wonder, are we the only two people who use this feature, or have any issues with it? My original thread has 0 replies, not even a +1.

I support this idea. I used it to switch the trackir zoom and leaning forward/backward. I really like the idea to show switch state. It is very often you forgot the state of the switch. Though I think a lot of people don't know about switches. DCS is not a simple software for new comers.
