Potential key mapping problem?
-
Hi guys,
Been a long time since I dusted off my Flight Sim but had some time recently and decided to jump back in.
I started off with some instant action to try and get familiar again and tried some dog fighting using the HMCS. I have been trying to lock targets by using the TMS up command off boresight. I watched some tutorial videos on youtube and was directed to select TWS mode and then whilst looking out the cockpit hold TMS up to bring up a circle in my HMCS HUD and bring that over a target and release TMS up to soft lock the target. I found this to work once or twice but then it stopped working altogether. I did not change any controls before this happened. It just simply stopped working?
I did some more research and read somewhere online that you need to be in Radar mode ACM, and then select Bore. I have tried this and can select ACM mode no worries but as soon as I click on ‘Slew’ (the default mode) to try to change it to Bore, it simply flashes really quickly to Bore and then straight back to Slew. It simply will not let me change it. I try clicking the Slew button both with my mouse and with the key it the OSB 2 button is assigned too and the same thing happens. It almost feels as when I click it allows it, but some other key binding or something is over-riding it?
Any help with any of this would be extremely appreciated. To be honest I’m not even sure if I am doing things correctly?
Thanks in advance guys, can’t wait to get back into the sky
P.S.
I have a TM warthog flight stick and an older TM Cougar throttle running through a Realsimulator USB.

Slew is also selected by moving the cursor iirc. I’m not sure how much cursor deflection is needed, but I suspect that your cursor is a bit jittery and this small deflection is enough to select slew. Give your cursor axes a small deadzone and try again.

Hey Sungad
Sure enough that was the problem. I set the cursor slew deadzone to large and it completely fixed the problem. Your a life saver!!
Thanks mate
