Hey there, I desperately need help for a home cockpit I'm building.
I'm trying to map custom advanced controls to keyboard/ Joystick buttons instead of the mouse/ vr hands: stuff that's not in the basic gc-map.mcf config file, like the NAV display functions on the a320.
I found a controls.tmd config file in the a320 folder (Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator\aircraft\a320) and it has the fuction I'm looking for:
<[control_cylinder][NavigationDisplayPilotRange][43]
<[string8][Type][knob]>
<[vector3_float64][R0][12.643865507 0.148 -0.1026279485]>
<[matrix3_float64][B0][0.965926 0 -0.258819 0 1 0 0.258819 0 0.965926]>
<[vector3_float64][Direction][ 0.965926 0.0 -0.258819 ]>
<[float64][StepAngle][0.45]>
<[control_message][OnRotate][]
<[string8][Message][NavigationDisplayPilot.Range]>
<[string8][Qualifiers][step]>
<[float64][Value][1.0]>
>
<[float64][Radius][0.01]>
<[float64][Length][0.015]>
>
I need to assign this function to a key press on my Hotas or keyboard insted of the mouse hover and wheel roll.
I tried to make a custom assignment in the gc-map.mcf config file (Documents\Aerofly FS 2):
<[tmchannelmap][element][77]
<[string8][FunctionID][NavigationDisplayPilotRange]>
<[string8][InputID][Button 28]>
<[uint64][DeviceUniqueID][1468347801101187030]>
<[string8][DeviceIDString][HOTAS Cougar Joystick]>
<[bool][IsDigital][true]>
<[bool][IsValue][false]>
<[float64][Sign][1]>
<[float64][Direction][1]>
>
But when I load into the sim and I press the button nothing happens . There has to be a way for sure, I just need someone smarter than me to figure it out. It would be a game-changer for home cockpit and VR enthusiasts.
Thank you for your time
