I like the rubber 5-way switch heads from the STECs. Can any of the 3 5-way switches on the Gladiator be swapped out? I'm afraid to just start pulling and twisting.

Got it. You have set the physical axis to be a trimmer +.

Based on the manuals and videos it seems really simple to convert a encoder to an axis. I think I followed the steps to convert the ring finger encoder to be axis 6, but it does not show any movement in the test tab nor the in JoyTester. I am obviously missing something. What am I doing wrong? Butto...

Thanks. The discussion by Aero4000 seems to be exactly what I am looking for "The combination of GT + with a timing of 50 ... 60 Allows you to control the Hornet radar more precisely than the - = buttons..." Unfortunately, my setting of GT+ and 60 ms did not do the trick the on the F-86 ra...

The DCS F-86 has a dial for tuning into a navigational radio beacon. When interacting with the cockpit with a mouse you can use the mouse wheel to dial to a frequency with fine precision. I programmed a stecs encoder to use the clockwise and counterclockwise keyboard commands. When I turn the physic...

I think I know what happened. I had a profile saved that still included the mini-stick. I replaced the control, did the reboot, but then loaded the old profile. I guess if you swap out modules you'll have to reprogram any buttons.

I reset the throttle again as if I put in a new module and now it is all working. I wish I could delete this whole thread now.

I fixed the mouse issue -- I went to logical layer and there was a mouse button configured. I changed that back to a button. The thumb 5-way is still not working though.

It looks like the thumb 5 way is messed up now too. Only the press is recognized and the other 4 are not.

On the new STECS Throttle System Mk.II I replaced the mini-stick with a 5 -way control (ignoring the 2-wire connector). Now I get an warning: Mice mapping detected but virtual mice disabled. I turned off the mouse on the Global-Common tab and disabled the 2 mini-stick axes. What else do I need to do...

I think my question is misguided... I see now that DCS has "glance" views and static camera views. I should be able to get to where I want to go using a different path. Thanks for trying to help me anyway!

The mini-stick is setup to be POV upon start up, and with a click of the stick the x/y axes become active. In the first example from the video, the mini stick is setup for mini-stick as default and activating buttons only while the stick is pressed down. I want something similar -- I want the POV to...

Thank you, but this doesn't do what I want. This changes the POV to 4 buttons. I've been reading the manual and I don't think I can do what I want... I want the ministick to act as a POV upon start up and when pressed in trigger buttons, but only when pressed in. Based on the video I can press the s...

The Youtube video about how to take advantage of the mini stick shows how you could make it act like a POV only while pressing the button. The video also tells us how to set up buttons. Is there a way to have it act primarily as a POV but activate buttons only when pressed? Can it be setup to have 8...

In DCS the POV control slews the view around too fast for me. Is there a way to set the speed in the stick? DCS itself does not have a speed option. I'm assuming that the POV sends out a signal that says, "keep moving in this direction".
