thrustmaster hat switch

[Angry_Kitten]

16000m   just have to ask, 

 

the keypad is kind of better then in Rise of Flight for looking around the aircraft...   but HOW do i get the hatswitch to let me look all around like everyone else can?

 

F9 is supposed to be a master switch for pilot views, but i dont know what one i need it on, tried all 4 options but NOTHING worked, had to use the mouse and thats a pain.

I think that you'll find most folk here use TrackIR (or equivalent) or VR. I highly recommend either. That said, I'm sure somebody here knows. ?

i do 90% of my computer work at night, where the only light in the room comes from teh glow of my monitor and the lights on my video card. 

 

Doubtful tracking software would work in that condition.

Of course it does. The earlier versions with the TrackClip work better in the dark. The TrackClip Pro has its own LEDs and works in any light. TrackIR5 - In Depth | TrackIR (naturalpoint.com)

Don't know about rise of Flight, but in IL-2 GB you can use the "incremental pan view" (press F9 three times at mission start for select) and look around with POV HAT similar to control camera with mouse.

 

In early versions the latest mode selected with F9 remain memorized for next game session, but now after recent changes is need select the mode at start of every flight, besides that was added an annoyed "automatic zoom" in some HAT movements, supposedly for please the people weep not be able to see cons.

turns out the hat switch on my throttle system is the one to use for looking about.... but now if i could get the throttle to be recognized correctly. i move it, it goes to new percentage amount, then resets to 100% power.

 

now just need to figure out how to seperate cannons from regular machine guns.

Looks like that you have AI controlling engine throttle, select CUSTON difficulty mode and disable all options, minus External View (allow spectator or something).

 

Fire weapon group 1 >>>> set machine guns, e.g. joystick trigger

Fire weapon group 2 >>>> set for cannons, ex. T.16km top left button.

 

 Fire weapon group 3 >>>> leave unassigned, this fire MG+Cannon = waste of ammo fire both all time, when find necessary press trigger (MG) and top left button (Cannons) toghehter.

 

 

[Angry_Kitten]

did what you suggested for weapon group buttons, helps alot. 

 

When flying the His 29, I do i give the mk-103 its own fire control button? what you suggested works machine and mk-103 at one time. 

 

And the dust clouds sure  hide the target.

Hs 129 have a unconventional cannons arrangement, seems not properly supported by the game controls code, see this topic:

Alot of odd things, with the preset controls.  Like how the auto throttle puts me into combat mode every time I pull up on the stick after a dive. Or keeps putting me into emergency power mode when i dive steep
