How does one bind the Warthog thrust-master slew control to the mouse pointer

[BitterKlinger]

I.E. binding the mouse nipple so it acts as my mouse.
Can I do this in the dcs options-controls or do I need the software from thrustmaster. Also, what is the mouse mouse movement described as in the dcs controls? Thanks in advance.

Sadly I don't think it's by default for me, but I will certainly check again.

Yeah it's set by default for A10C. Since you are having trouble: check under axis settings, you set it there.

Ok Update: I finally got the chance to take a look at this again, life and all Did a bunch of forum searches. This is my fault because I am not describing things well. So I assigned axis joy x,y to the Hotas slew horizontal, vertical "action", went to go see what happens in sim. So this action enables you to move a box around in the HUD, which is probably the default. However I was watching a guy on youtube, "rafidude" who I think was using the slew control to act like his mouse in the cockpit, the slew acting as a cursor and clicking to switch buttons. This is what I was looking to do but, it appears I can not assign the joy x,y to action camera view horizontal/vertical. So what do you guys do in an attempt to avoid using the mouse as your cursor. If I can use another switch that would be ok, just want to know how others avoid using mouse for this action.

No ralfi is using mouse to click. Also I think there is a method with VR to 'look' at things and then activate it that way. Any VR guys can jump in? Is this possible without also?

[BitterKlinger]

wow he is quick switching back and forth.

[[GCA] King Apo]

Aaah. Maybe this is what confuses you.

He also uses TrackIR, that is all the looking around, he doesn't have to touch the mouse for that, only to 'click' something. :)

I have that(trackir) actually, and used the left over grey slider on the throttle for the zoom, which is great. I think my problem is that I'm left-handed, but using my stick right-handed, the mouse infront of my stick, the stick is mounted DIY to my office chair. When ever I want to cursor over something ofc my pitch roll goes off. I'm gonna move the mouse to my left hand since I'm not throttling all the time. I'm not using trim like I should though, thats probably something as well. Thanks for clearing this up though, you saved me some time:D I watch a number of simmers be so smooth in their actions, its hard to know what thier motions are unless they tape themselves or show your their setup. Cheers.

Edit: I reread what you were saying. So maybe he put the mouse button somewhere on the stick or throttle.

What i did i downloaded a program called AutoHotKey. in this program you can make your own scripts.
1.) After installing

2.) Right click on desktop

3.) Goto New

4.) Select autoHotKey script

5.) Input-


2Joy1::Click



Joy1 is the slew click hence button number 1 on the throttle.

The 2 in front of "joy" is the number of which the program recognizes the joystick/throttle
in my case i kept just adding "Joy1::Click" and it kept having the trigger on the joystick be the mouse click. So added the number in front trial error style til it worked in this case 2 was my throttle HOTAS. Only goes upto 16 so if it doesnt work something else may be wrong

and "::Click" is the left mouse click.

6.) Run the program

So now everytime you push the slew in in it'll click the left mouse button.

i really needed this so i wont have to find my mouse while in VR and trying to communicate on radio or push a button/switch. Also being where ever you look in VR is the mouse pointer so i wouldnt need the mouse to move around anyway.

you can close it on the bottom right where the ^ arrow is. its the one with the big H.

hope this helps

Have you found the culprit to use the joystick button/stick as a mouse?
