Brake Lever Question for Modern Gunfighter MKIII stick

Postby LordSkeletor » Sat Feb 29, 2020 8:53

Is there any way that you can re-assign the function of the brake lever (Which I think is defaulted as a "slider" or something) as a button?
I've got some nerve damage in my right hand it would be a perfect button for me if I could somehow set that up in a cfg file or something along those lines in a HOTAS mapping/setup file or the VKB setup file.

Is this even possible?

Thanks!

Hello, head to "Axes2Buttons\MCG Brake" panel, here, tick the MCG Brake box. Then move the slider to define the position of the "First" button line. You maybe also want to add additional button thanks to the low limit and high limit box.

I say that by memory and checking the manual so there might be some error and/or new change since I last did it :oops:

As Hon0 said, but with picture:
1. check the A2B box;
2. check the MCG Brake box;
3. check the Low limit button if you want it;
4. check the High limit button if you want it;
5. adjust the slider to set how far on the axis the button is activating;
6. hit Set to save the changes.

After that you could go to the Test tab/ Buttons and test your new settings.

I've given this a try...but it doesn't seem to register as a "button" for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I followed your instructions, but not seeming to have any luck. I can still see the "slider" moving on the Text/Axes1 tab when I squeeze the brake lever.
However, on the button tab, it doesn't register as anything happening or registering as a button (which is what I need it to do).

Any thoughts/ideas?

Sorry, my mistake, somehow I forgot to add the picture, please see below.
Look like you haven't checked the A2B box yet, that's why it doesn't work.

Yes! Aha! I think it works now! Let me try it out in game and see if it works.
