some general questions

[No Use For A Name]

I found the "more accurate mini-stick' topic (for LOMAC) and decided to try it out. As far as I can tell I have everything just as needed, but get hardley any response for the left or up posistions; but the right/down positions work correctly as far as I can tell. Anyone see anything wrong? The only thing I changed was the DELAY

My other question is that I have a sequence to cycle my flaps from retracted to combat (half) to full (landing) and then back to retracted. but for some reason the sequence gets messed up. When I first load a mission, it will cycle through correctly, but then when I start the sequence again it goes from retracted--->full--->half then back to retracted. this really isn't a big deal, but it's fooled me a couple of times. I've tried changing the posistions but I get pretty much the same results. is there any way to have the sequence do the same thing every time?
thanks for any help!

Heres my full script:

CMS.B1 = [JS2.A1 > 200]; //Mini-joystick
CMS.B2 = [JS2.A1 < 50];
CMS.B3 = [JS2.A2 > 200];

SEQUENCE
while([JS2.A1 > 170] and [JS2.A1 < 221]);
b1=true;
delay(2);
b1=false;
delay(7); // U can adjust this delay time but the delay
// should never be less than 2 if you are
// sending ordinary keys and not directx presses

Hi!

Regarding your sequence problem you need to find someone that has flown LOMAC.

Regarding you ministick troble, did you calibrate the ministick?

Something weird is going on. I can't calibrate it in Mapped mode. I can move the Z axis, but the X-Y axis don't do anything. I don't have any problems calibrating my CS and PP. Also, if I move the mini-stick around in Mapped mode it reboots the computer everytime...it's only the mini-stick that's sketchy. Should I re-install my drivers? Im using CH Control Manager 3.6

You cannot calibrate the devices in Mapped Mode. You can only calibrate our controllers in Direct Mode before you download the map.

What keystrokes do you have assigned to the Mini JS?

Hi No Use For a Name,

That's normal. Calibration is only done in Direct Mode. The Mapped Mode data uses the Direct Mode calibration data for the axis. So long as the Direct Mode is calibrated, Mapped Mode will be fine.

HAH.. beat you to it Bob :P

Hi Michael,

Yup. I was distracted for a moment. :)

well, I guess it was out of Calibration. I just re-callibrated it and it seems to work fine. :shrug: it was only the mini-stick that was out though...everything else worked. something must have thrown it out of wack. anyways, thanks for the help
