Phantom711 Thanks for the input. I was seeing the simapp pro green lights in the idle and off position but when I was in dcs and I clicked in the keybind section no buttons were showing up as I moved my throttle up and down. Only after you mention about the green lights in the simapp pro having buttons did I look to the left of side of the app and see which buttons were comming up. Then it was just a matter of getting them assigned. Thanks

I recently moved from a thrustmaster warthog throttle to an orion 2 throttle with fingerlifts. Everything works except for the the throttle movement during cold start. The only way I have found to get the throttle to unlock is to bind the Rshift+Home to a button on the throttle handles. But then this moves the throttle in the game to the idle position while my orion 2 throttle is still in the off position. And if I move the throttle to the idle position then the game throttle moves forward as well so that when I am in the idle position with the orion 2 I have already moved the throttle in the game to half way up. With the warthog it had a button assign to the throttle movement so this was not an issue. So does anyone know how to get the orion 2 throttle to align up the game throttle when doing a cold start? Is there a guide on maybe how to edit the lulu file or something. Or is their a way to get either the axis to act as a button or a button to act like an axis? Other wise I have to just keep the orion 2 in the idle position when doing a cold start and I just wasted money on a throttle with finger lifts that is useless when wanting to use the finger lifts to move from off to idle. Hopefully someone can help me out here I would really appreicate it.

I have tried going into the AXIS section and I have set the axis for the left and right throttle then went into each one and set it to slider. While I can see the throttle movement in the controls section move as I move the throttle up and down. In the game for the F-18 hornet, the throttles still do not move at all. So it their something else I need to try?

I just got the new Orion 2 throttle base 10th Anniversary edition and I can't seem to get the throttles to bind in dcs. I have calibrated the throttle in the simapp pro software and everything seems fine. I can see the blue line move up and down and I get the green light when its in idle and the second green light when it is in the off position. The values go to zero at full afterburner or all the way forward and then go to 66535 when all the way aft to the the off poition. When I go to DCS I can bind all the switchs and buttons to the Orion 2 with no problems. Yet when I go the the throttle section in dcs and try to bind my throttle movement nothing shows up as a buttion when I move either of the throttles. I have move the throttle from off to ident and from full after burner to ident and then to the off and nothing shows up as a button. I can click on any of the buttons on the throttle handle and they will show up as a button in the throttle section, just not the throttle movement itself. Am I missing something or is this a hardware issue.

Hey Trigati, Thanks for the reply. I am not sure I was able to get my request out clearly enough. Here is my stream deck. The bottom left button works with comm1 rotating the different comm channels. What I am looking for is for the button above the incremental input (rotary) button which is a Momentary Button/Display, to display the comm channels as I hit the bottom channel button. So the Momentary Button/Display will display M, C, S, 1, 2, .... This are the setting I have set up on each button. I am referencing this youtube video were at the end he talks about setting this up, but doing it this way did not work. As you can see I tried setting it like yours but it did not work either.

Hello, Does anyone now how to make the UFC comm channel window rotate through all the channels on your stream deck as you push a separate UFC comm channel button. I have a incremental input (rotary) button set up and it works fine. I push it and I can see the comm channels change on the UFC in the game but when I try to set up a Momentary Button/Display on my stream deck to see the channels change on the stream deck itself nothing happens. I have assigned it the same button id as my comm channel rotary button and disabled the send values while release yet it does not change channels like it does in the game. What am doing wrong.

Hello I am new to DCS and Stream Deck. I was wondering if anyone can point me to or explain how to get cover images for each aircraft profile. For example on my stream deck I would like to have an images of all the different Aircraft models I have and then when I click on an image of that aircraft say for example the A-10 aircraft it then goes into that profile with all the buttons for different actions. Also I see that some people have already took the time to create aircraft profiles but I am a little confused on how to transfer those into my own stream deck any pointers would be helpful Thanks.

Hello, I seem to have a problem when starting DCS 2.5. When I click on the desktop icon DCS starts up, I see the DCS world page and the music plays but I am unable to click on anything. Everything is grayed out. If I hit Ctrl, Alt, Del, to pull up the menu for task manager and then just hit cancel with out starting task manager or anything. I am brought back to DCS world page but there is no sound but I can click on the screen with my mouse. As soon as I click on the screen the screen goes black and then refreshes, then I have sound and I am able to click on everything. Is there a fix for this or is this a know bug or is something broken with my file? I have windows 10 pro-64bit with a i7-4790K CPU @ 4GHz, 32GB of ram with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Its not a big deal to get DCS to work I just would like to be able to get rid of this extra step I have to take to get into the game. So any advice would be helpful. Thanks.:)

@PiedDroit Thanks for all the help. It appears that I was running the calibration software the wrong way. Once I created a new folder and put both files in there. I was able to run the calibration software correctly which did fix my problem. Now my air-craft all fly straight and level without rolling. Once again thanks for all your help. I was begging to give up on the game and my joysticks but now I am in heaven.

Calibration software question Hello, I have a question about the calibration software. I run windows 7 64-bit. I have downloaded the calibration software version v1.13 and used 7-zip to open the rar file. in the TM Joystick Calibration tool folder I can see the a10JoystickCalibration.txt file and the HW_Stick Calibration_V1.13.exe file. yet when I click on the .exe loads but says that there was an Error loading a10JoystcikCalibration.txtfile. I click ok and the program runs but then afterwards when I am in DCS game I check my AXIS under the tune option and my joystick is centered but with just a light movement it is all over the place and when flying in game my joystick just cause the AC to roll all over the place. So I believe it has something to do with the error on loading the .txt file. I am not sure if this is required but I do not have the TARGET software loaded on my computer. Is TARGET required to run this calibration software or not? If not than does any one have an ideal how to fix the error with loading the a10JoystickCalibration.txtfile?

EDIT Here is the track for that flight. The window is in the bottom right which shows my joystick input joystick2 problem.trk

So I did the calibration again and made sure to held the stick in the requested position when pressing the space bar. Then I checked the joystick axis after calibration in the axis tune applet. It starts out in the the center but with just slight push to the right the red dots swing all the way to the right. and if I push the stick all the way to the right then the red dots flicker back and forth from the side to the center. and I used RCtrl+Enter when in game. just like in my other track the joystick starts out in center but as soon as I touch the joystick it starts to rolling to the right and the indicators shows that my joystick is way off for the amount of input.

A/C Rolling to the right So I cleared all the assignments to the axis control and re assign them to the joystick then I used the calibration software v1.13 to re-calibrate my joystick but now it is worse. When I touch the joystick the A/C rolls all over the place. I have attached a track of it. Any one have any suggestions on how to fix this. I have tried to re-calibrate twice once with just moving the stick from the up position than directly to the right position and then to the back position and than to the left position. The second time I would recenter the joystick in the center before moving to the right or down or left. joystick problem.trk

I have a question about TM Warthog drivers. I noticed that there is a driver for the HOTAS Warthog and a driver for the HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick. I take it that we just need the HOTAS Warthog driver if we have both the throttle and joystick or am I wrong and we need both? Thanks

A/C Rolling to the right I have went into the options and cleared all the mapped axis setting and reassigned the pitch and roll just to my joystick inputs. It stills rolls to the right. (PiedDroit) You mention about re calibrating the stick. Other than going into the axis tune on the options page is there another way to calibrate a TM warthog joystick?

Hello Everyone, I have just started to play DCS and I have TM HOTAS set up along with Saitek combat pedals. I have the game updated to the latest patch. I did not play the game before so I am not sure if this problem was there before the patch or not. The problem I am having is that all of my A/C seem to roll to the right in instant action. This happens in all of my games, A-10, FC3. Am I missing something about calibrating the joystick or something. I have noticed that when the game starts the A/C flies straight and level but as soon as I move either the throttle or joystick to provide input it seems to initialize the drives for these inputs and cause the A/C to start rolling right. Any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks

Hello Everyone, I have a questions about AC rolling to the right. I have just installed TM warthog joystick and throttle. When I tried to play the game all of my AC roll to the right. The F-15, A-10..... I know this has been asked a lot but is their a way to calibrate the joystick or something so that when the stick is level the AC stays level and does not roll to the right. Also I forgot to mention that I have Saitek Combat pedals install with my system as well but they seem to be balanced and when I click on an outside view my rudders on the AC seem to be aligned straight yet despite my input of rolling the AC to the left they all seem to roll back to the right? I am I missing something?

Psyrixx, Please see my earlier post. Can you fix your PDFs to fit on a 36" printer instead of a 48" printer. If not than please let me know how you got them printed out so that they can be used as a stencil. Thanks.

Help with Jedi's A-10 plans Hello everyone, I am the new guy here and I really want to build my cockpit like Jedi's. Of course I have dumb new guy questions. I downloaded the PDF files that Psyrixx posted so that I could print them out and use them as a stencil. I have a friend that can print out large sheets but when I sent him the PDF files he told me that "The A-10 files are all designed for a 48" printer, My monochrome printers are all 36" wide. There is a way to tile the pages with some overlap that might work for you, See if you can find a way to split the A-10 files into 36" max width (leave a least 1/4" margins all around). If you are able to size the sheets and re-save them in PDF format at 100% scale than I will be able to print them". I am not sure what he is talking about but is there any one that can resize these files to work with a 36" printer and still keep the same scale? If not then my other questions is if I wanted to try and print these plans out on my own small 8 X 11 printer using poster setting do I need to adjust the Tile Scale or overlap any. Right now it says the tile scale is at 100% and the overlap is set to 0.005 in. for a 1:1 scale do I need to adjust anything? Thanks for the Help Briareos
