Type "Firmware" in your Run command it will automatically install the current Firmware for your devices. Piece of cake.... get the stick and throttle calibration program too. RTWFM before you do anything, follow the instruction to the letter.

Glad I didn't buy the first version.

LMAO.... okay....

That Warthog Throttle will last a lot longer than anything WW makes. The Delta Sim Slew switch replacement takes about 5 minutes to change. And you only need TARGET to do everything you need, to get optimal performance out of your HOTAS. In DCS I use SCRIPT, specifically Sedenions Complete 128DX Script. And I use TARGET GUI with keyboard emulation for IL2. I would make sure I was comfortable with the HOTAS systems software before spending a buttload of money on a really bitchin setup I'm only getting 20% of its full potential. ROLL TIDE

Simple advice...... no matter which HOTAS you decide on, make damn sure you understand how to use all the software needed to get the optimal performance out of your set up. Otherwise you are wasting your money on a Ferrari you never get out of first gear... but damn you'll look cool though....

TARGET software for Thrustmaster Flight Controls. RTWFM Cheers

Yeah, I wish life were that easy, one size fits all for every application. That would be awesome...... yep..... Cheers

Which ever HOTAS Mfg. you use, make sure you know how to use the software to program your system. Otherwise its not being utilized to the fullest, might as well buy a cheaper set. Take all the fanboi talk for what is is..... talk..... I'm a TMWH and TARGET fan boy, but I just bought a Virpil CP#2, I've got VPC and VPC Link down loaded. When I find my round tuit, I'll start teaching myself how to use it, if it doesn't make me happy I'll get rid of it, and not expand my Virpil collection. I will never touch WW junk.... nothing but horror stories of crap going wrong with it... breaking after a short time.... and PRC control of it.

You are talking TEMPO presses, short/long on same button. There is also Sequence and Chain presses. You'll need to know Script for TEMPO, but Sequence and chain are done with GUI menu. Sequence = different command each time you press the button Chain = press button once and a Chain of events takes place over a period of time. Like anything, the more time you spend experimenting with it the better you get at it. The Event Log is your friend while setting up your profile Sendenion's 128DX SCRIPT will work great, but you are still going to need know how to load it in TARGET SCRIPT launcher. No pain no gain.

How about the Pusan perimeter? Yalu River.... Chosin Reservoir, Toko Ri, we've got a good enough plane set for that.

Monstertech, good stuff

Looks like you have not watched the DCS training videos, or Requiem's videos on YouTube. Spend some time watching those....especially Requiem's videos. you'll be well informed afterwards....

Those surface mount SMT resistors (green) and Caps (Tan) can break and you'll never know it until you let the components and PCB heat up. They expand at different rates.. Coefficient of Thermal Expansion CTE. The component will Open, be it a pull up resistor, Vcc resistor or Cap... you can measure it with a Multimeter and it will read good.... unless you are a very good solder tech with the appropriate PACE Station I wouldn't try it. We never used Chinese parts (Chips) on USN weapon systems. Good luck!

In our shop (Avionics) we have an oven we put CCA'S in to cure epoxies, and a host of other things.... you can set it to 190⁰ and just set the stripped down base in there for an hour or so.

If you are not using TARGET to tune your devices, or update firmware, you are missing the most powerful tool at your disposal. RTWFM..... There is a calibration tool for the Throttle and Stick on Thrustmaster,s site, easy as pie to use, but RTWFM...... You can find the calibration tool here on the forums... or here on Reddit... Make sure you read the instructions, when it says to unplug... unplug!... I'm using TARGET and Windows 10 64bit.

Main reason I'll never touch WINWING products. Trash my TMWH and TARGET software all you like, but it's been 10 plus years and its still going strong.. still going strong, sorry, I repeat myself. Cheers

It's in the software..... it's called "Print"... will give you a list or a diagram. TARGET software.... easy as pie. RTWM..... CHEERS!

Would be nice if the face plates were easily removed, so we could replace them with custom plates, kind of like BlackHog and TMWH. There are people lurking in the forums that make some very nice ones.

Well shoot..... I had a comment on it, but I watched that video and I was thrown for a loss.

Ki-84, now that, in DCS would be something to see. I'd buy it for sure.

They look awesome, but it looks more and more like WW has no final QA standards, the workers are probably not trained to be MSE 1 or 2. So I would be interested to see their Quality Deficiency Reports and see just how bad they really are. And the data on their planned obsolescence, how long do they last under "Normal" use. In other words are they bullet proof or Ford Military Grade Aluminum good......... ........ I've looked at Virpil CM3 offerings but VPC software has no ability to program keystrokes in games with limited dx inputs (IL2) A secondary program is needed for that unlike TARGET with Thrustmaster products. I'd like to have some of these to play with just to judge for myself if they are all they were intended to be. Even at 65 I still need to remind myself to curb my desire for things I want, so I don't end up selling my necessities to survive. JMTCW

The only thing that keeps me from buying Virpil is lack of the ability to program keystrokes via the VPC software. Trash Thrustmaster all you want, but TARGET is the best GUI software out there, combine the script functionality and it can not be beat. I really don't want to run Joystick Gremlin and that other program to inject keystrokes. IL2 needs the 128dx limit upgrade..... I use Script for DCS, and prefer it to GUI programmed keystrokes.

Use Sedenions 128 dx script, use the Tempo function (short/long) presses. Now do you have S3 set to Toggle... or not toggled for your shift function. One way you have to hold it, the other way you don't. But you are probably not using TARGET are you? If not you are only getting 50% of your HOTAS' potential.... if that.

There's no money in it......
