NAMES ON LEFT COLUMN ARE WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN THE “ACTION” COLUMN OF THE CONTROLS SETUP MENU IN DCS. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION IS ON THE RIGHT COLUMN. • MICROPHONE BUTTON ALLOWS YOU TO USE RADIO MENU WHILE FLYING • ASP-3N GUNSIGHT TARGET DISTANCE, DECREASE/INCREASE DECREASE/INCREASE GUNSIGHT TARGET RANGE • ASP-3N GUNSIGHT TARGET WINGSPAN, DECREASE/INCREASE DECREASE/INCREASE GUNSIGHT TARGET WINGSPAN • AILERON TRIMMER SWITCH, LEFT/RIGHT TRIM AILERON LEFT/RIGHT (THERE IS NO RUDDER TRIM) • AIRBRAKE SWITCH, CLOSE/OPEN OPENS/CLOSES AIRBRAKES • ELEVATOR TRIMMER SWITCH, PULL (CLIMB)/PUSH (DESCEND) TRIM ELEVATOR UP OR DOWN • ENGINE START BUTTON – PUSH TO START ENGINE STARTER CONTROLS SETUP CONTROLS • GUNS SAFETY COVER GUNS SAFETY SWITCH – • LANDING GEAR HANDLE, UP/DOWN RAISES OR LOWERS LANDING GEAR • N-37D CANNON FIRE BUTTON FIRES 37 MM CANNON • NR-23 CANNON FIRE BUTTON FIRES 23 MM CANNON • WINGS FLAPS HANDLE, UP/DOWN LOWERS OR RAISES FLAPS BY INCREMENTS • WEAPONS RELEASE BUTTON DROPS BOMBS OR OTHER ORDNANCE PART 1 1 PART • WHEEL BRAKE ON PUTS ON THE BRAKE (LIKE A CAR BRAKE) • ZOOM IN SLOW ALLOWS YOU TO ZOOM IN • ZOOM OUT SLOW ALLOWS YOU TO ZOOM OUT 3 PART 1 – CONTROLS SETUP ASSIGNING PROPER AXIS IS IMPORTANT. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TIPS. TO ASSIGN AXIS, CLICK ON CONTROLS SETUP CONTROLS AXIS ASSIGN. YOU CAN ALSO SELECT “AXIS – COMMANDS” IN THE TO MODIFY CURVES AND UPPER SCROLLING MENU. SENSITIVITIES OF AXES, CLICK ON THE AXIS YOU WANT TO MODIFY AND PART 1 1 PART THEN CLICK AXIS TUNE 4 PART 1 – CONTROLS SETUP BIND THE FOLLOWING AXES: • PITCH (DEADZONE AT 5, SATURATION X AT 100, SATURATION Y AT 100, CURVATURE AT 20) • ROLL (DEADZONE AT 5, SATURATION X AT 100, SATURATION Y AT 100, CURVATURE AT 20) • RUDDER (DEADZONE AT 0, SATURATION X AT 100, SATURATION Y AT 100, CURVATURE AT 0) • THROTTLE – CONTROLS ENGINE RPM CONTROLS SETUP CONTROLS • NOTE: THERE ARE NO WHEEL BRAKES ON THE MIG-15. INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL TOE BRAKES IN WESTERN AIRCRAFT, – THE MIG-15 HAS A DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING SYSTEM. YOU BRAKE BY HOLDING THE BRAKE LEVER AND STEER USING YOUR RUDDER PEDALS.
