Experimental Prototype v1.1

Change Log

v1.1.2021.522:

• Allow sound effects to be overridden with custom wav files.
• Also allow mouse wheelbutton to mapped to a keyboard scancode --
  • only suitable for press-and-hold keys (because a short-tap will always set throttle to 50% and reset fov).
  • but works great for the SimHotasShift callback, to take advantage of secondary stick buttons without sacrificing one of them.
  • eg: <add key="ScancodeForMouseWheelButton" value="0x39"/><!-- [spacebar] -->

Experimental Prototype v1.1

Change Log

v1.1

• Implemented rudimentary tracking of throttle-lever position, and audible feedback when your throttle hits the minimum/maximum extent (and push-through afterburner detent).
  • This greatly enhances the HOTAS feel and improves confidence -- you can now push throttle all the way up (or pull all the way back) without looking at your RPM gauge, or even waiting for the RPM to respond.
  • NOTE: for this to work, you must have mousewheel-sensitivity (in Falcon settings) set all the way to minimum.
• Bonus feature: for those with a 5-button mouse.. you can map the two x-buttons to keyboard scancodes.
  • Some fun ideas:
    • PTT for UHF/VHS comms
    • Look-ahead / Check-six
    • Look-closer / Reset-FOV
    • Speedbrake in/out
    • Chaff/Flare programs (eg. slap switch / pgm #6)
