  1. You can't. It's hard to see, but in my screenshot you can see that that option is disabled for APU OFF: I think that's only the case for the specific TM WH HOTAS. If you use a different one, you should be able to edit those. But anyway, I went all-in and completely gutted the electronics of the throttles, so I'll make it a DIY HID device with an Arduino Pro Micro. I've already sorted out the most complicated part which is reading the throttles, the rest are all buttons and switches and a couple of analog axis. Easy peasy Edit: confirmed, I plugged in my Winwing Orion throttle and you can edit those. It's just the Thrustmaster Warthog that doesn't allow you to do that.
  2. Yes, I got mine used too, and I've already heavily modified it. I removed the USB cables and replaced them with female USB ports, so I could just unplug them from the front and remove them, like the Winwing ones. I replaced the pinky switch, the china switch the Slew cursor and the AP grip button, and I think I need to replace the brake and the autopilot switches as I think they are starting to fail.
  3. I don't think doing it slowly will make a difference. Latching switches have that phenomenon where nothing is happening, then at some point you apply enough force that it latches into the new position immediately. I don't remember it, but it has a name. I don't know, it may as well just be a faulty one. I'm tempted to gut it and replace all the electronics with my own. I'm already familiar with DIY gaming devices, so it shouldn't be too dificult.
  4. Since this adaptor has been EOL for the longest time, I had to design and manufacture in aluminium (JLCPCB) the bracket and "build" the wire myself. I've been using it since last night with no issues, so it works perfectly fine, I've just decided to sell my TM joystic and buy the WW F16 grip instead. Selling it for 40€ plus shipping (from Spain)
  5. Thank you @MAXsenna. I do have the option enabled: But I'm still facing missing readouts that make me have to go back and forth the switch to read the actual position. Specially annoying with the flaps and the airbrakes.
  6. But there isn't that option in the warthog. For instance, the APU separate options for Off and Start are disabled, and you are left only with the option OFF <> Start (Off else Start). Moreover, there's not even an Idle option for the throttles:
  7. Hey there. This is probably a known thing and easy fix, but I've noticed that the TM warthog throttle sometimes require double input in order to register a click. What I mean by this is for example to turn off the APU switch, I have to turn it off, then on again and off one more time so the game registers it. Or move the throttle to idle, back to off and back to idle to register the idle position. Do you know why is that and how to fix it? Thanks
  8. Hey. I'm glad you liked it. Regarding the code, it's actually the last video on my YouTube series that I've been procrastinating to record for months now. If you build it using the sketch (you can build it with shift registers instead of port expanders, and in that case you can use MMjoy2 instead of an arduino sketch), you'll have to make some adjustments to it. The 99 is because when I wrote it, I wasn't using all the pins of the expanders, therefore I used 99 for the unused ones.
  9. I have BORT installed for DCS-BIOS and it was working fine, but for some reason it's not finding the json files, even though they are there. Not sure if any of the latest patches broke anything about it:
  10. I did it, as LucShep suggested. I also think there's a feature in the latest msi afterburner version that allows launching it at startup and I think I enabled it. That would explain it working even without me having to manually launch it every time.
  11. I would 100% swap the grip for realism, as well as use an extension rod. I'm sure you can find somewhere else to put the additional binds Is that the winwing mip?
  12. That should fit in a K1. Would you be willing to share the file? What program did you use?
  13. No, I've always had it stock
  14. But to do that, I'd need to replace almost the entire PC. I will keep my 3090 for now, thank you.
  15. I've been testing playing DCS this morning for quote some time. Oddly enough, I forgot to turn MSI afterburner on, and I've been playing for a while without crashes, so I'm not sure what to think
