Best Enhancement to DCS ever

@majapahit … I have exactly the same problem can you share how you resolved the centring in VA?

Nice one. I use a similar setup but have never thought of using the right click left click with a modifier. Gonna try that tonight.

 

Thanks.

ya it works well, I still grab the mouse half the time because its faster but try to force myself when not trying to catch up to the plane.

Also consider the trigger thing- I don't do it in the 18 but for the a-10 shifted trigger zoom is fantastic. Its smooth as silk, you can kind of feather it in and out as needed, check your alignment, release PAC and readjust, zoom, fire or don't engage any zoom at all. Takes a little getting used to but super smooth once you are.

New Command

When I Say : 'mouse' (or something)

command button Mouse - 1st : Click / Mouse Click and Double-Click / Click left mouse - OK

command button Mouse - 2nd : Move / Move the Mouse Cursor to Location / Move to Specific Location / drop-down 'Cursor screen Center' - OK

You now have 2 commands in 'do the following sequence' list, it clicks the left mouse button to have the mouse cursor appear, then second command centers the cursor in the middle of where your head is looking

so for APU first look at the APU and then say 'mouse' etc.

thanks !

Just got it all set-up and it works really well. I also tried the PAC zoom thing. Superb!

Many thanks.

After some fiddling around I got to this TARGET script code for the warthog

MapKey(&Joystick, S1, CHAIN( EXEC("DXAxis(MOUSE_X_AXIS, -14100);" "DXAxis(MOUSE_Y_AXIS, 13000);"),PULSE+MOUSE_LEFT)); 

the X and Y axis numbers seem to work (though no idea why!) this maps the cursor to the centre of the screen and slightly below your line of sight (fiddle with it to get it right for you, YMMV:thumbup:

Could you explain how this script is used and how to implement it? Thanks!

I have this : a wireless mouse that has been fitted on a glove with 4switvh on the index . This is my vr "mouse" just need to look at the switch

You have to have a Thrustmaster Joystick, such as the Warthog, and then use the scripting software TARGET that comes with it, this enables you to map buttons on your joystick, to either kepresees or logical buttons.

Then just add this line replacing, in my case the S1/Master Mode buttton, with the line above, you can use which ever button you like, using the appropriate identification number.

Then run the script... And as soon as you press the button, the mouse cursor appears in game at the specified co-ordinates.

I will post my scripts later today if that will help? This approach will only work with target.

There are three steps to this:

- place both the scripts unzipped into the scripts folder for TARGET (the first is targetdx128.tmh, which allows you to map 120 joystick buttons + one 8 way hat, this is not mine but is the work of Sedenion, and mine F18CBlock20 MkII.tmc, which is mine though derived from the work of many others @ReflexArc @Catseye)

- the first is to amend the script so that it matches your config (I use the coolie switch to use SHIFT CTRL F12 to center Track IR for example)

- the second is to run the script in target (you have to keep this running while the game is playing just minimise the window)

- the third and final step is to remap the joystick buttons to the new buttons generated from the combined Warthog Joystick

this means I can do things like have the EAC switch that works in both directions without having to modify the LUA code for example.

Warthog Joystick Scripts.zip

targetdx128.tmh, which allows you to map 120 joystick buttons + one 8 way hat

you want to edit the code and add more DX so it can map 2 Hats of the HOTAS (1 on the throttle)

targetdx isn't mine; but you essentially max out at 128 buttons either way... as I understand it, all DXHATUP is a proxy for another DX button? does re-mapping it as a hat provide any advantages?

Oh sorry, it appears you already cleaned up what you have. The original poster (loong time ago) had Coolie and Trim HAT combined

ah no worries, I always try and debug "my code" I think pulled the later copy that someone on the same thread had already cleaned up
