Hi everybody,

I couldn't find a satisfying keyboard reference for DCS: A10C yet, so I made my own. Maybe somebody else finds this useful:

dcsa10c-keybindings.pdf

It's all the combos from Config/Input/Aircrafts/A-10C/keyboard/default.lua, grouped and sorted alphabetically.

The Shortcuts are in a sort of Emacs Notation:
C is Control, M is Meta/Alt, W is Win, a small r prefix means it's the right one instead of the left one.

Cheers,
Olaf

Thank you. This is really helpful.

OlafM, that's a very nicely organized chart. We would like to add to the ED Wiki page as a training supplement here:
http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/DCS:_A10C_Training_Supplements

However, could you first add a legend to the file describing the shortcuts for those who are not going to see them on this page?

EvilBivol, I added an enumeration of the Modifier Notation. Turns out this makes the columnbreaks much nicer, too.

Please go ahead and add a copy to the ED Wiki. If I am going to make any further changes, I will post a notice in this thread.

Added. Thank you!

Nicely done! Control Manager Command File

I made one more minor adjustment to the keyboard reference. My lisp parser had a bit of trouble with the quote key, which is assigned to "score window". That quote did not show up previously.


I also generated a base profile for the Logitech Profiler:
dcsa10c-logitech-profile-commands.xml

This profile does not contain any button/hat/axis assignments, it just provides a profiler command for every defined keyboard command. If you are creating your G940 profile from scratch, this should be highly useful. Just import the xml file in the profiler and select the DCS.exe.

I finally got around to updating this.

DCS A-10C default keyboard bindings as in version 1.1.1.0

Apart from new keybindings for the UFC and the CDU, I could see only smaller changes.


As my little lisp program does most of the work anyway, I also created a reference for Black Shark 2

DCS Black Shark 2 default keyboard bindings

These are both of course for the Sim mode.

Despite this nice table, I can only recommend to customize your keyboard bindings--for instance, I control Master Arm, Gun Arm and Laser Arm switches with [A], [S] and [D] (for Arm, Shoot and Designate). The clickable cockpit is very nice, but particularly in combat, the keyboard is way more efficient.

Wow, that sure took a lot of work!

Thanks!

Well, actually most of it is automated. I wrote a little lisp program that reads the .lua file with the assignments and outputs a LaTeX document. Then I just have to insert the column and table breaks, as I haven't found a reliable and good-looking way to automate that.

Of course, I had to write the lisp program, which includes a rather simplistic (and still bug-ridden) lua-parser. But most of that I already wrote in spring, when I wanted to autogenerate profiles for the G940.

The code is actually already in a public repo at github, so in theory anybody could use that to create tables for their customised keyboard bindings. But as I said, it is not fully automatic yet and still has some bugs and it's not exactly straightforward to run.
