MCG Pro folding trigger problems and a question about key assignment
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 20:56
Hello fine gentleman (and ladies),
a few days ago i got my Gunfighter MK III with a MCG Pro and what can I say, it is outstanding, absolutly perfect. I got it working pretty right right out of the box (even though I am sure that there is a lot I can still tweak) but two questions arose that I couldn't solve myself after actually reading the entire ~110 pages of the manual.
The first one is about the folding trigger. The manual states that it can be configured as 3 seperate buttons, which would be awesome to use for a master arm in DCS. So i ticked the boxes in the Axis2Button tab (same as I did for the break lever and that works perfect) but the button tester doesn't show anything when I change the trigger. If i untick the "pulse" command then button 28 (set as armed button) is light up constantly, no matter in which position the trigger is. The last stage of the trigger (the actual activation) works just fine without problems. Attached you will find the revelant pictures, I hope I am just missing something
My second question is about assigning keyboard keys to buttons. It works just fine once I learned how to do it but I wondered if it is possible to assign just "Shift" (or any other of the modifiers) to a key. I.e. I want to press "right shift" when I press the pinkie / ringfinger button. As you may know IL2 only accepts certain keys as modifiers. And since I need to assign a modifier to help with the jittery axis of my x52 throttle it would be great to just map "right Shift" to the button so my Zoom / RPM / Mixture dials on my throttle only work when the pinkie button is pressed. But so far I have not managed tp bind "shift" without any other key to a button.
Thank you guys so much in advance for you help!
