You will notice that unlike the other keystroke input windows, when pressed each key places
two instances of the key in the command input window – like below.
This is because when you press a key on a keyboard it actually produces two signals – one
when you press it and another when you let go. In the above example you can see that the T
key was held down for 0.12 seconds and the H key for 0.13 seconds.
Just like in the Macro Recorder, the numbers underneath the keystrokes represent the time in
seconds from when you pressed the first key in the sequence; in the Advanced Editor you can
adjust these timings. Simply point the mouse cursor at the time you wish to adjust and you will
notice that the cursor changes to a clock with two arrows either side of it. Now click and hold
down the left mouse button and drag the mouse right to increase the time or left to decrease.
Once you are happy with the timing just let go of the mouse button and the new timing will be
saved.
Therefore with the Advanced Editor you could set, for example, a command that launches a
missile when you press the button. It might then switch to a camera view of the missile and
then 4.5 seconds later switch to a camera view of the enemy. When you let go of the button it
could switch back to your cockpit view.
Obviously this is just a hypothetical example but it gives you an idea of the possibilities open
to you with the Advanced Editor.
Shift Modes
With the exception of the Cyborg 3D Force Stick, the controllers supported in this software
release all have shift modes. This is a function that enables you to ‘double up’ the number of
commands that you can assign to each button. For example, just as the period/full stop key on
your keyboard can be made to print a ‘>‘ symbol when you hold down shift, you can assign a
second command to each of the buttons on your controller.
On the Cyborg stick there are two shift buttons – the ones on the base of the stick with a
double arrow symbol on them. On the X36 and X45 sticks, the shift button is the pinkie switch
that your little finger rests on when gripping the stick.
