digital_steve Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Does anyone here use a CH Multi Function Panel or DX1 with SB Pro PE here?If so, would you be kind enough to share templates or show pictures as to how and what you have set up?Much appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digital_steve Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 funnily enough, i saw a picture in a thread of someone using a DX1 or CH MFP in their setup... so either they're secretive or i'm hallucinating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digital_steve Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm such a noob with SBprope, but i guess the leg work is up to me to get up and running with SBprope and then do up a template i suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 14, 2010 Members Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well, I have one and tested it, but found it by and large not terribly helpful. The standard pack of buttons leaves a lot of free space, but if you want to use all the keys from the second pack, the screen is essentially no longer visible, so you just have another keyboard that is more awkward to use since the buttons are farther away from each other than a normal keyboard.Still, this might be acceptable if there was an option to have flip switches and/or other visual feeback, e.g. control lights or something. In that respect it seems that a touchscreen is the better alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven434th Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 So your saying that this set up really needs smaller buttons?Would that be the solution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 14, 2010 Members Share Posted July 14, 2010 No. The buttons themselves aren't the problem. The lack of feedback is. If it was possible to have two- or three-way flip switches where you could see in which poition it was, or if one could add control lights or something, that would be a lot more helpful.I'm sure, there are other application cases where the MFP is useful. And maybe it's just a matter of taste. Smaller buttons however are the least of the issues with it - IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if the students rotate on different positions like Commander, Gunner and Driver. We more or less take away the ordinary keyboard and replace it with one or two MFP.The other use of it is to have a "real" panel (like gunners panel in CV9040) as background and use the keys for different functions on that panel.If you are an experienced gamer that just use one position more or less, you would probably find the ordinary keyboard good enough. Perhaps the more complicated keystrokes like CTRL DELETE would be good to simplify on a MFP.MatsWSwedish Land Warfare Centre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColKilgore Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Take a look at touchbuddy. In the profiles section someone has posted a profile for Steelbeasts. Of course you would have to invest in a touch screen.http://touch-buddy.com/forums/index.phpColKilgore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
