NEXT/PREV STPT Callback Name?
-
Newbie question and after searching here the manual and Youtube I have not seen an answer.
On the Warthog Joystick diagram it shows the Shifted DMS right and left as Next STPT and Prev STPT
What are the callback names for these? Or the equivalent key binds?
-
There is not a Next STPT or Prev STPT button per se in the aircraft.
You push the Next and Prev buttons on the ICP.
You can map those, and usually that will change steerpoints:
SimICPNext 126 0 0x4E 0 0 0 1 “ICP: NEXT Button - Push”
SimICPPrevious 126 0 0x4A 0 0 0 1 “ICP: PREVIOUS Button - Push”Those are the lines in the key file.

Awesome thanks for the reply. I am using a Warthog Stick diagram for the layout so I guess that is what they mapped as a shifted function on DMS Hat
Another question
There is a SP/STP Toggle function on the Shifted TMS Hat. What would it be mapped to?

SimNextWaypoint ? -1 -2 0 0x0 122 “Next Waypoint”
SimPrevWaypoint ? -1 -2 0 0x0 122 “Prev Waypoint” -
SimNextWaypoint ? -1 -2 0 0x0 122 “Next Waypoint”
SimPrevWaypoint ? -1 -2 0 0x0 122 “Prev Waypoint”ICP Next / ICP Previous and the ICP Up / Down callbacks are more functional, imho, since they are multi-purpose commands as opposed to a single function (change waypoint only).

I like SimNextWaypoint for the exact same reason. I can change the waypoint no matter what is displayed on the DED.

As useful as a SimNavMode callback, or a SimFeatherProp callback.

Do you have a pit? If you have a pit then obviously you wouldn’t want the SimNextWaypoint, but if you just have a HOTAS it defeats the purpose of even having the callback if you have to punch the ICP to get the DED in the correct spot. If I was changing my steerpoint and had to punch in the correct mode for the DED, why would I then reach back from the mouse to the HOTAS to then switch the steerpoint? I may as well just use the mouse since my hand is already on it. The SimNextWaypoint is good for me because I can use my HOTAS to change the steerpoint without using the mouse to get the DED set up. If you don’t have a pit with an ICP, then making a big deal about the usefulness between what callback is assigned to the HOTAS is strange. For those who don’t have a pit with an ICP, it may seem kind of pointless to assign the ICP callback to the HOTAS. It’s not realistic so what is the point pretending like it is realistic instead of just assigning the waypoint callback to it. AFAIK it isn’t real to change the radio channels with the HOTAS or any of the other functions that it does, so why make an issue out of using one or the other? The only way I see bringing up realism in this case is if you have a pit with and ICP. Otherwise you can go with the mouse if you want to have only realistic callbacks on your HOTAS, or if you don’t care I think having the waypoint callback is more realistic than having an ICP button mapped to it. I could be wrong but I think the OP was asking about the callback for next steerpoint, prev steerpoint and not up ICP and down ICP.

I just use a numpad taped to my monitor. Works for me. The inc/dec rocker is a momentary switch instead of a rocker, but other than that it does the job.
When you say it isnt real to change the radio channels with the HOTAS… you are right. But I might point out that changing radio channels is not an inherent property of the HOTAS. Mine doesn’t do that, for instance. You have to program it that way.

Yes. Having any of these callbacks on a HOTAS is not a function that a HOTAS does. So, having a pit is the only way to even use the ICP callback in a realistic way. I don’t have a pit and don’t think I will ever get one because I like more than just the F-16. Hopefully I haven’t been entered into the Falcon frag list for saying that.
