How would one use a flight stick control setup to move the targeting camera around? (using the f15e)

Hi, I am currently in the long and tedious process of setting up flight controls using a Logitech G x56 H.O.T.A.S flight stick and throttle. I have been diving through the settings in the keybedding menu and can not find one that can control the movement inside of the targeting pod. Any other suggestions on controls is welcome as well

I thought that it’s these controls:

However, I use the mouse for that all the time right now actually.

Note also that there is no way to control the Targeting Equipment (or any optical seekers) from the cockpit view. Those controls only work in the actual targeting view mode.

I have bought wireles airmouse, attaced it to my headsetup and use it as normal muse, to look around.

I believe you need to use the “Gunner Aiming Control” bound for both X and Y axis in order to slew a TGP or TV/IR seeker from the HOTAS. For reference, this is how I have mine set up:

Schindibee’s comment above only guides weapons that use SACLOS aiming, like Fritz-X, Bullpups and Nord AA/AS-20/30s from what I remember

Thank you! I have been going nuts looking for this key binding.

hmm… how does this impact mouse-aim for bomber’s gunners?

I use HOTAS to play a sim. Currently, the mouse still works to control the gunners while also allowing the targeting pod to be controlled via a mouse attached to the HOTAS. If you have issues, I’d recommend having multiple configs for different plane eras.

TLDR: No impact from my knowledge.

Any recommendations for VR and Hotas?
I skipped the whole guided bombs thing until now and focussed on air combat and some dumb bombs on bases.

Use the hat switch if you have it, and set it to the gunner aiming control key binds

I really don’t know why but that just doesn’t work for me, I can’t find a way to point the targeting pod camera with something other than my mouse.
It says its changing horizontal and vertical guidance but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Anyone have some insight into this?

You likely have a control conflict with the Weapon Yaw and Pitch axis in the Weapons tab, under the countermeasures and above the radar controls in the settings.
