Button requests?

ruggbutt · 05-15-2006, 12:06 AM

I've been away a couple of weeks what with my LASIK and the E3 convention, and I know Zorlac wanted some buttons made. Problem is I forgot...........

Just let me know what ya'll need, I'll get to them this week.

When I am feeling slightly better and less fogged up in my head, then maybe I`LL be able to remember what they were too

Greetings aces

Rugg, I really love your profile so far.

What I am missing are the "radio" keys like contact AWACS/tower/wingmen.
Also I would put the IR JAM key into the combat section.
In the sys or flight tab a key for the braking chute would be helpful too.
While I am at it, in the combat section near the radar keys I would love to have the MFD zoom keys and maybe tgt size...

I know lottsa request, but I really lack the skills to do it myself...

KUDOS to the Touchbuddy creators and contributors. It really boosted my flying experience to a new level!

Those are in the UHF/VHF tabs in my profile.

It's in the Sys tab.

It's in the A/G section, since the zoom MFD keys are mostly used for ground attack.

My profile is somewhat specialized as I use my HOTAS for many of the combat commands that I may have to access quickly.

Your talking about the lomac-199.tbc profile, not lomac-rugg.tbc profile, right?

ruggbutt · 05-17-2006, 09:25 PM

Yes, that's correct.

9JG54_Kirin · 05-18-2006, 10:26 PM

Whoops... haven't tried the 199 profile yet since I didnt realize it was your squad!

I am one happy camper with Touch-Buddy.

Sorry about that, I had forgotten that I initially renamed Zorlac's profile with my name when I changed the buttons. Try the 199th profile, it has a whole bunch of stuff in it.

Thats a real cool Profile Ruggbutt !

May i ask if you already have an updated version yet ?
I like the Illumination of the buttons when activating ...really awsome.
Great work !
( But the autopilot buttons in the FLIGHT Tab dont seem to be illumintaed when activated... will you change that ? )

I didnt try the TB-Toolkit yet, so i dont know if its difficult to make profiles my self , but before i start spending hours with creating my own profile ( i think i am not very good at these things ) i would like to ask you ruggbutt to do that for me ... you seem to be an expert !

What i would like to see are specific profiles for the the different aircraft in Lock On. You made it usable for any aircraft right now (universal )... but i would like to have only the buttons that i need for my A-10 for example.
No need for buttons that i cannot use in an A-10 right ?
They just confuse . ( just my opinion )

The fewer buttons a tab has the bigger the buttons can be right ?
They would be easier to hit during combat action.
My itchy fingers dont hit the right button when i am under stress.

Right now the buttons have this size 2cm X 2cm
I would prefer 3cm X 3cm for easier hits.

Can you please give me a feedback for my proposal ?
thank you !

May be anyone else already has done this job, and didnt share it yet...
is there a place to look for ? uploads/downloads area or some other URL ?

best regards,
GSG_9_LIGHTNING

PS:
I have one more little idea.. is it possible to make an illuminated Radar On Button that is animated ( *.gif file ? ) like a pulsating radar beam ?

Sadly no animated buttons.... to the end user, animated gifs magically change from image to image, giving the appearance of movement, but someone somewhere had to write the code to animate them. If come across some nice easy way of doing it, then maybe... but until then, no animated buttons (sorry!)
