Having MicroStick With Shift Options-Possible?

[Rawles]

I would like to know is it possible to use the mouse for the Hud Designator and in the Shift State have it control the radar scan zones In Lomac? If so can any one help me with a Script?

[531_Ghost]

Yes it's possible with "if/then" statements Rawles altho a scripting guru like Bob, Abe, JNOV or Michael would be better suited to provide the script ;)

Hi Rawles,

I don't know Lomac, but it shouldn't be hard to do. What do you need to send to send in the shifted and unshifted states? Mouse moves or characters or buttons or what?

Let me know and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.

Best regards,

Hi Rawles,

I looked at it, it seems you just want to turn it into a 4-way hat. You need to make a little script, it's been posted around here a couple of times, but basically it looks something like this:

script

// Turn them all off initially
//
cms.b1 = FALSE;
cms.b2 = FALSE;
cms.b3 = FALSE;
cms.b4 = FALSE;

// Ministick Up on cms.b1
//
if( [js2.a2 < 88] ) then
cms.b1 = TRUE;
endIf

// Ministick Right on cms.b2
//
if( [js2.a1 > 168] ) then
cms.b2 = TRUE;
endIf

// Ministick Down on cms.b3
//
if( [js2.a2 > 168] ) then
cms.b3 = TRUE;
endIf

// Ministick Left on cms.b4
//
if( [js2.a2 < 88] ) then
cms.b4 = TRUE;
endIf

endScript

Then you just need clear all the programming off the Ministick itself and use CMS Button 1 through 4 to send the commands. The Shift button will affect those normally.

Give it a try and see if that will do it for you.

ok Bob it all worked except moving my mouse to the left? I left every thing like you said and i even tried to replace some commands to see if it was a key conflict ..But still no response.

Never mind i figured it out S!
The Left motion should have been
Js2.a1
Again thanks This is by far the best support of any Joystick.
And i Own them all Cougar,X45 ect..So Keep it up Gents!! :thumbsup:

G'day guys,

Is there a way to map axes to the ministick when unshifted and separate axes when it is shifted?

Thanks in advance.

Pinky Button on the stick (JS1) is the SHIFT Function and the Pro Throttle is JS2. Here is a quick primer....


IF JS1.B4 THEN
Â* Â* CMS.A1=JS2.A1;
ELSE
Â* Â* CMS.A2=JS2.A1;
ENDIF

If you wanted the axis you are not using to go to center when not selected....

IF JS1.B4 THEN
Â* Â* CMS.A1=JS2.A1;
Â* Â* CMS.A2=128;
ELSE
Â* Â* CMS.A2=JS2.A1;
Â* Â* CMS.A1=128;
ENDIF

That should get you started.

ahhh, thanks Michael. I was way off track tooling around with ANDs and NOTs, working like a dream now.

Over the last couple of days with my new gear I've found the best way to learn is to download as many pre-made maps as possible and pick them apart.

Thanks again mate,

Scotty

Awesome! I've always been wondering if this is possible. Prepare for a version 2 of my Falcon4 profile!

Now I can put the ANT knob on the Y-axis and RNG knob on the X-axis, shifted, and leave the unshifted microstick controlling the radar cursors.

Just going to have to program it so the ANT and RNG don't autocenter, but the radar cursors do. Then perhaps, add in something somewhere else in the file where a keytap will center them both.
