Pinky switch as Modifier Semi Fail?

Recommended Posts

E.G.

In DCS Options, I set the Stick Pinky switch as a Modifier

 

In DCS Options, I set button 28 to function for “Set Operator Seat”, I then set the same button, in conjunction with the Modifier to “AI Operator ROE Iterate”. The resulting action has been semi conflicting. If I just press button 28, sometimes it gets stuck on setting the Operator ROE iterate and will cycle through that and then maybe skip over to try and do what I assigned it to do, and vise versa. The Common button use of # 28 is causing a conflict, and DCS does not seem to be wanting to differentiate that one is supposed to only trigger when the Modifier is in use. I notice this is problematic with the trigger button as well, as when I press the trigger, I want bullets to fly,,, but when I hold the Modifier in and press the trigger for a separate action, it still wants to spray bullets and not perform the action it is assigned to do?

Here we are again!

What device are you talking about?  Which module in DCS? Can you show a screenshot of your modifiers in DCS?

Here we go again? LOL,,,, Sounds like this is a repetitive matter? Although I wouldn't know that based on my search results yesterday, which didn't produce any meaningful results unfortunately, that's why i created a new post. Any who, here is the info you requested. Note that I am considering experimenting with the theory of NOT using a Modifier within DCS and instead configuring that Pinky switch as a "Shift" button in Virpil, then configuring all of the buttons as having shift states. I dont know if that will make a favorable difference yet? I was simply hoping this could all be setup inside of DCS? Thanks for your response!

 

Device = Virpil CM3 Throttle & Virpil Alpha Grip

Module = Huey is an example made here

I meant 'here we are again' after our previous discussion on axes!

Firstly, I'm not sure why you have it added as a Switch and not a Modifier. Change that to Modifier and I think you'll be OK.  

I tried it on my Alpha stick and it works OK.

If you have it as a modifying switch, it stays on until you 'switch' it off.

Well,,, Im glad you glad you stepped up to the plate on that one as well there dburne, as embarrassed as I am, I must admit that was a hairpulling goof on my end!

imacken, I greatly appreciate you pointing that out,, i was about to embark on many other fix attempts LOL. I have learned a lot in the last 3 days alone, I still have some things to figure out that are a bit annoying, but I will find a way, especially with the assistance of all of you fine folks!

 

Much appreciated gentleman!
