Hog:
- Start the TARGET GUI
- At the top click "NEW CONFIGURATION"
- Type in an appropriate name (like FSX-NGX or FSX-whatever or whatever you think can help you remember what it's for)
- Select type: "ADVANCED" (IMPORTANT!!!)
- Select a location where you want it to be saved
- Click ok
- In the next screen you can select what controllers you want to use with this profile
- Once you've selected them, click next
- In the following screen you can set deadzones / curves and whatnot, unless you want to, just click next. This takes you to the main screen
You can see a 3D image of your selected controller in the left. In the bottom left you've got a slider called "Change controller". This let's you change the controller that you want to profile. And the "save" function which speaks for itself.
In the middle you can manipulate the various functions and features for each button. I'll go over how to choose a button later.
The layers does the same as Saitek for the mode switch, and the shift function. Don't know how it works, I don't use it :). If you want to know how to use it, RTFM :)
- Control: this is where you select your button that you want to assign.
- From the 3D image on the left, click and hold on the button that you want to assign, and drag it to where it says "Drag&drop" in the middle part. Now the button will be available for programming.
To the right of that you van see "Press" and "Release". This sets if you want the command that you are going to set later is commanded at the PUSH of the button (i.e. PRESS) or at the release of the button/switch.
- Event name, speaks for itself (I.e. TO/GA, SPD-BRK, etc.)
- Key command: This is where you enter the keycommand. If it does not work properly in the main screen, hit the "Virtual game/keyboard/mouse" button and it will popup a new self-explanitory screen.
- Type:
Pulse = like a keypress
Hold = the keycommand is held down, untill you release the switch/button
Press = the keycommand but held down, untill a
Release = release the specified keycommand (generally the same as the Press command)
- Delay: speaks for itself
- Sequence: If you want the same button/switch to generate various keycommands in a (you guest it!) sequence, use this.
For instance: push the button/switch once, it generates a "G" command, push it again it generates a "F" command, push it again it goes back to a "G" command, etc.. etc.. (not limited to 2 commands, can be up to as many as you need/want)
- Comment: self explanetory
- IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!
When you are done, hit the "ADD EVENT" button! If you don't press it you'll lose everything!
At the right part of the screen you can see ALL the assignments you have done. Experiment with that, you'll figure it out.
If you are done, hit SAVE bottom left, and hit finish. However, if you want to test your profile, you can hit "Run configuration" in the centre of the screen. Don't be alarmed if it takes a minute or so. It's doing it's thing :)
Now the profile is running!
Hit "Event tester", and here you can test the keycommands to see if they do what you want them to do.
Hit STOP to close the profile.
That's pretty much all there is to it.
Say you have your profile done, and you want to run it. Start the GUI, and on the left you can see 2 tabs named "Custom" and "Stock". Set it to custom and you can see all your profiles. Select the one you want to run and hit START.
That's it!
Easy :D
