X plane controls keyboard software#
That would work, but for that much effort I might as well use the TARGET software that can load different configs in the Thrustmaster HOTAS. I still use some buttons and knobs in the cockpit, but I absolutely love being able to reach for hardware switches and buttons.
I've likely forgotten a bit.ĭepending on the aircraft I'm flying, I can use my controls (and a wood framework of 2X4's and 1x4's) to emulate near accurate control placement of many different cockpit styles. Add to that a Saitek trim wheel (which has found new life with X-Plane, works really well), a Saitek TPM for aircraft with vernier controls, an few extra Saitek TQ's to place for various oddball throttle configs, a Saitek switch panel to use when I pull the console out to fly with a stick, a X-55 TQ (the stick died awhile back) to use for left hand throttles, some homemade panels with dual concentric rotary switches, and lets see. I have a PFC Cirrus II yoke console, retrofitted with a pair of Leo Bodnar usb boards, that has enough switches to run all major functions on a twin. (I have a problem, and I can admit it.) :smile:
X plane controls keyboard simulator#
No offense to those who are asking about button assignments but isn't the whole point of flying a simulator to learn where all of the controls are and making the adjustments with the knobs and switches? Assigning buttons to do all of the work, kinda takes the fun (and learning) out of the sim and turning it into a game, rather than a great learning tool as it is. What if, in theory, you make a copy of your config file and then modify the new one to accept new assignments based off of what aircraft you are flying? Sounds absurd, but seems legit. But it should be a feature in the basic sim. I know there is a plugin somewhere that can do this, and I can also do it with different configurations in the TARGET software I use for my HOTAS rig. There are some commands like helicopter force trim release or autopilot assignments that are handled differently by different aircraft plugins, and that requires assigning too many extra switches that do the same thing. joystick prefs stored in each plane folder). The only complaint I have about X-Plane's controller assignments is that, ideally, I should be able to assign the same controller switch to different functions for different aircraft models (i.e. I've been able to assign every essential flight command to my HOTAS rig, and the rest are switches I don't need to touch with the mouse until I'm in stable flight and can spare the time for mousing. But otherwise it would take up too many analog axis assignments if every individual light was assigned to a controller axis. As with instrument lighting (which is also usually variable), it takes me some extra time to set up the cockpit the way I want it. The second reason is that many of these cabin lights are on dimmer switches (also like the C172), which requires turning a knob with the mouse and can't be assigned to an individual on/off switch. Where there is more than one light, it allows separate lights to be controlled individually with the 3D switches in the cabin like the 3 dome lights in the default C172. First, because every aircraft has a different interior lighting setup. If you mean the interior lighting, that's for two reasons. How can I program the other buttons? Do I need to do it externally, i.e. But only about 4 of the buttons are available for me to program. Unavailable button options - I am using a Warthog Hotas and the joystick does comes up in the control menu. Autopilot - which command is the for the master autopilot on and off.Ĥ. But when I am moving down the runway slowly and press the pedals the aircraft does not slow at all let alone stop.ģ. I have assigned the left and right toe brakes to the pedals and the blue bar shows in the menu as I press them to show it is registering. I have successfully got the rudder working by selecting "yaw". Toe brakes - I have MFG crosswind pedals. Parking Brakes - I do not see an option what is the command I need to select to turn on/ off the parking brakesĢ. Can someone please point me in the right direction?ġ. Coming from p3d and have some issues getting my controls set up in XP what with the different XP terminology.
