With Foxy on my Cougar I used to have the TDC Cursor mapped to the microstick's unshifted state and mouse control on its shifted state, but I can't find any analogous way to do this with the Warthog's Slew Control. From the TARGET Script Editor manual I figured out that I could use the following to do slew control:



But from what I understand, using 'KeyAxis' prevents me from using the 'MapAxis' command that would let me assign the shifted state to mouse control. Is there some 'mouse command' (but one that is not an axis like MOUSE_X_AXIS) that I could use in another KeyAxis statement?

Anybody have any ideas?

give me few minute, why don't you control the TDC with analog axes ?

this will achieve what you're looking for, the shift button is S4 (note that you can customize the mouse sensibility ands speed with the SetSCurve parameters)

first i define the keyboard axes mapping

then when i press S4 i force the axes to be turned into mouse

when i release S4, i force the keyboard axes mapping

KeyAxis(&Throttle, SCX, 'o', AXMAP2(3, 'l',0, 'r'));
KeyAxis(&Throttle, SCY, 'o', AXMAP2(3, 'u', 0, 'd'));


MapKey(&Joystick, S4, EXEC("MapAxis(&Throttle, SCX, MOUSE_X_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_RELATIVE);"
"SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCX, 0, 10, 0, 0, -5);"
"MapAxis(&Throttle, SCY, MOUSE_Y_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_RELATIVE);"
"SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCY, 0, 10, 0, 0, -5);"));

MapKeyR(&Joystick, S4, EXEC("KeyAxis(&Throttle, SCX, 'o', AXMAP2(3, 'l',0, 'r'));"
"KeyAxis(&Throttle, SCY, 'o', AXMAP2(3, 'u', 0, 'd'));"
"MapAxis(&Throttle, SCX, DX_XROT_AXIS);"
"MapAxis(&Throttle, SCY, DX_YROT_AXIS);"));

Fast response, thanks! Having just gotten my Warthog over the weekend, I hadn't had a chance to look into EXEC programming yet, and it seems that's the only way to combine a KeyAxis command with a MapAxis command. Thanks a lot! I'll give this a try tonight.
