Request for two detent function for Fighterstick trigger
-
Thought I’d put it out there.
Alot of confusing info.
I just want to move my trigger half way for the first detent and then fully for the second detent.
That is all.

Seems to me that is built in to the particular joystick …. or not. IOW if you move the trigger 1/2 way, but your joystick doesn’t somehow detect that, how does the joystick send a signal to BMS that the trigger is 1/2 way? If it can’t, then BMS cannot know when it’s at 1/2 position.

The sim can’t do that?
I just noticed in my profile (Fubar2NIner) I downloaded from Benchmark Sims,the trigger has an unshifted and shifted button for the trigger.
Dx mode is ticked but the shift box is unticked.
Should I tick that?
Unshifted, the button in dx mode is listed as CM Device 1, button 1.
Shifted,the button in dx mode is listed as CM Device 1, button 17.For both buttons.the shift box is unticked.
Do I tick that box for the shifted button?
LMAOOOO.
I think I do for the shifted buttons and there are more than one in this profile odear.I think I’ve got it.

The stick must send some electrical signal, which the computer interprets and sends to the sim to initiate a command. If the stick does not have a 1/2 detent (or similar) …. something to send the signal … how could the sim possibly know what position the trigger is in?
When you fully squeeze the trigger, you close (or open) some kind of switch. Perhaps you can feel it ‘click’ (you can on an X52/X52 Pro). If the stick doesn’t have something like that (a switch, a potentiometer … something), no signal … no command.
Think of it this way: If the sim just ‘knew’ (as if by magic) what you are pressing on your HOTAS, why would you need to plug in to the computer? Well, that obviously isn’t going to happen. So if your stick doesn’t ‘communicate’ what you’re doing with your HOTAS, the sim doesn’t ‘just know by magic’.

I figured the trigger out.
Now I have another shifted function on my throttle (button under the forefinger) which reads Sim toggleMissileCage/Slap.Now what is slap?
i looked in the dash 1 manual/s diagrams of the throttle and it had only a button for toggling the caging.
Mine has that but a shifted function for slap.
What is slap lol?Maybe CM print made a mistake.
Maybe slap is something else?Googled and come up empty.
Must mean slave?
Or is it sidewinder spot/scan?
I assigned the shifted button to that anyway as I couldn’t see others that were similar.
-
Slap is a lever on the left cockpit wall and it’s used for popping chaff/flare for program 5 I think…
It’s located above and to the back of the throttle. -
the big black button on the sidewall of the cockpit.
Apologies to whoever’s pit this is - its from my cockpit porn folder and as we all know, such folders are rarely organised well…

Ok thank you.
What is the callback key for that?
FOUND IT!Scoured that list looking for that a few times before I saw it.:D
CMDS-Slap Switch.
I’m assuming this is the right callback? -
SimSlapSwitch
Key command depends on your keyfile.

Just tried it and it works.
Gun working now as well.
Everything I needed to use shifted controls I assigned directly into the BMS keyfile by dx.
Very handy.
Now to do that guns training tut.
I also watched Krauses tut and he notes how you can automatically look targets with your helmet hud by holding tms up I think odear.
Cool stuff.
