maybe its a stealth pilot

noob question, trying to get my head around this at the moment i have 2 screens 1 below the other the 2nd smaller has the mfds and my helios so far so good if i export my mfds to the same location do i have to delete my mfd lua ?? secondly can i thin run in full screen mode instead of windowed?? thanks in advance..

i would buy if it had a manual with it , then again i will próberly buy it any way to go along with my collection..

hi just noticed you have another thread up about you rudders try to do as i said in that thread , other wise let me know and we will try to get it sorted...

Nope i just plgged them in have you treid another USB port, and have you cleared all other axis in game sometimes in game there are diffrent devieces all with thesame command so go under options in game and have a look if it is set up correct..

Hi no TV just a HP 27inch Monitor and a Acer 19inch under, as for the rudder yep just plug and play had to adjust toebrakes in game but that was it..

here my quick review of the Warthog So after having the warthog a month or so what do i think of it.... First impression when I saw it first time in a shop (still boxed) was bloody hell this is heavy.. Even dragged the wife along to check it out xmas was coming up so I put it on my wish list. When I did get it,(and i knew I would) (LOL) my thoughts were WOW and I mean WOW!!!!! I have had a cougar for a few years and it was my pride and joy but this really took the prize it is impressive The first thing you notice about it as you take it out of the packaging is its weight. In order for the dual throttle not to come flying off your desktop during aggressive combat, TM had to make the unit heavy. To accomplish this, they installed not one, but two full-steel base plates on the unit---one layered upon the other. If that wasn't enough, they went further and added an additional three steel bars, stacked one atop the other, inside the housing that are attached to the inside of the inner base plate. If you drop it on your foot, you're going to be sorry. Once you get over the shock of how heavy it is, your eyes are immediately drawn to the control panel with its eight stainless steel toggle switches, and military style white lettering beneath the toggles To say the least and seems so much better than the Cougar Needless to say my Cougar had a FCC mod so I also have to get used to a joystick that moves The joystick uses Hall Effect sensors rather than analog pots to send joystick position information to the game. With 65,536 points of discrete resolution on both the x and y axis, this is going to be about the smoothest joystick you've ever used. The sensors are contained within a ball and socket arrangement So I installed the software , and pluged it in , the throttle lights up like a Christmas tree (new software is now out so you can turn the lighting down if you want to)there is also a firmware update so I used this and bamm dead joystick seems this was a common problem on the first batch of warthogs with numerous people complaining about dead throttles and joystick, but it seems to be over now, any cut a long story short I got the replacement, and there is no problems with it. A little hint I was told by thrustmaster is that when you do a firmware update do 1 controller at a time, unplug the second. I have not yet used the Target software that comes with the Hotas as it is allready set up in DCS A10, just as the real aircraft, the only thing I needed to do was remap the trim command, in game to the trim button on the controller, as it is setup for view for those that do not have track IR. The Throttle is really smooth and has proper idents for turning the engine off by slightly lifting the throttle up over the ident. The same goes for the other end if you want to have afterburner Idents you can just reverse a small panel between the throttles and it then gives you the afterburner idents again just lift up over. The 2 throttles can be locked together if you want ,but I do not use this as you control it better I feel. All the switches work as they should in game and it is great that you can use these for a part of the startup procedure . The Mic switch is used for Comms in game. In fact I keep forgetting that there are so many switches and still have to remember that I can turn the external lights on or engage the autopilot with the flick of a switch I find the slew button rather small but I am getting used to it, I am also getting used to the chinahat speed brakes and boat switch as for me they are placed a bit far away (for use with your thumb and mine aint that big),so it’s a stretch but again I am getting used to it. The joystick is precise with the hall sensors and if you are used to a cougar then it will seem familiar to you Every thing seems nice and tight and all the buttons seem to work with military precision and it feels, well Just well made . You can remove the pinky switch if you want to as it is not used in A10 but I use mine for team speak as I always have as per my cougar(I did have teamspeak on the mic switch on the throttle ,but changed it as I felt it did not work so well) I always seemed to be fighting the aircraft in DCS and trimming continually , so I have put a deadzone of 5 and a curve of 2 in game settings and it fly’s a lot more stable now and is a pleasure to use. I am still learning where every thing is on the stick as every button has a different use depending on which SOI mode you are in HUD ,or left right MFDS , and still do make mistakes this is also because I am learning the Game as well . There is no connection (game port) on this unit for rudders as the old Cougar Had so if you have game port rudders you are sort of stuck I originally used my Cougar in conjunction with the Warthog ,so I could use my Simpeds, but I thought this was a waste of a cougar so I sold the Cougar and the rudders, and Brought the new Saitek combat Pro rudder which are also fantastic. You can interchange the cougar and warthog stick if you want but I see no reason for this as you can just make a profile thru target for the F16 if you want. All in all I am really happy with this in fact happy is the wrong word it just feels and looks fantastic , who ever happens to see it are amazed at it and it brings a smile to my face every time there Jaw drops. Together with my cougar MFDs and the combat pro rudders I am going to have many a happy year with this.

you have to bind keys in game for them when you have done that then you can program your MFPs this is what i did so i canuse my xkeys. so in game ,options, then find ufc under keyboard ,and start assigning...

yep i need one....

well i would not mind installing and activating them...................

Thanks Greb, i am allso looking ,but not really sure what i am looking for LOL

Fantastic Greb that really helped me rep sent,,,, now do you happen to know what file i need to adjust to get the training messages moved to the left as they are split between two screens......:thumbup::thumbup:

pity there aint a pilots bar to hang around in....

Sold!!

yeah thats what i am doing at the mo ment just seems a rather exspensive set of rudders LOL

way to technical for me , i was thinking of a game pert to usb converter but they dont work to well i heard..

Hi ,they are simpeds game port type connect direct to the cougar. but i cannot sell them seperate as i want to sell it all to get enough to buy a new pair of rudders to go with my warthog hotas as this does not support game port. so at the moment i am using my cougar as a connection for them. if i could figure a way to get windows 7 to connect a game port i would keep them. so sorry link to simpeds http://www.dhs-electronic.de/index2.php?id=216&lng=en
