JoystickGremlin VS dcs-scratchpad

DCS Scratchpad, Open Kneeboard, Joystick Gremlin and HidHide, VoiceAttack, Tacview, and if I may self-promote for a moment, DCS AutoMate.

Easiest way to set it up quickly is to use this Tool to set up a base mappings file, from there you can edit it using this Guide. Joystick Gremlin is another great tool to get the most out of your hotas in any game. I find going hands-on-throttle-and-mouse a better approach for MW5 though, tracing lasers is a big part of using them and its hard to get that with a stick. as for VR as others have said VRWarrior to get started, along with Cockpit Glass, In the pit, and/or Immersive Cockpit will help with immersion, just be careful of mod conflicts.

Start at the Joystick Gremlin website and work on from there: https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/

Joystick Gremlin. Read how to set it all up along with Vjoy to make a Virtual Device. Once you set it up, everything should work normally.

I thought I'd found the key in this thread on the Github: https://github.com/WhiteMagic/JoystickGremlin/issues/76, but it doesn't seem to work (or I'm doing something wrong.)

Maybe software like Joystick Gremlin would do the trick.

Same here, it means I can switch between flying and racing by just selecting a different Joystick Gremlin profile. I use it to add a custom curve to the pedals (because the travel a little differently on mine) and to map them into a single new axis which I assign as rudder

DCS Scratchpad, Open Kneeboard, Joystick Gremlin and HidHide, VoiceAttack, Tacview, and if I may self-promote for a moment, DCS AutoMate.

If you use custom mods, some might have their own folders here too. For me, it's just the folder for Scratchpad.

Latest update fixes it. (Only read the change log, have not tested myself)

For things like changing a radio frequency or turning on/off datalink or TACAN, it's about even. If I'm doing things like manually entering in target coordinates for JDAMs or plugging in my own flight plan on an MP server, it makes life much easier. (For the second scenario I also recommend using DCS Scratchpad.) It's also nice in that it supports various panels multiple aircraft, and the only other thing that I know of which offers even close to equivalent functionality costs several hundred dollars.

For some extra help with writing stuff down I really recommend this: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad

You can download the update at https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/releases/tag/0.5.0

Given it's an enhancement of The Way, most likely not since the F10 map in pancake doesn't operate the same way as the one in VR as far as The Way is implemented. The only one I've had any success with is Scratchpad, which basically gives you a window you can type notes to reference to avoid having to flip back to the F10 map for coordinates.

DCS Scratchpad (https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad) is also a godsend in VR especially once you start programming JDAMs/JSOWs. The great thing about it is that, if you find it a bit cumbersome to convert chuck's guides into the DCS kneeboard format, you can just list down your own checklist on a notepad and copy paste it into the scratchpad directory.
