I don't like the popup because it add one more step before launching dcs as we have to dismiss the popup...

So, maybe it is better to remove 3 in 1, and take the dcs world and assetto corsa version and run them at the same time? (Or I mean 3 in 1 and dcs world version at the same time) btw when you'll release simshaker for wheels, will you include the 3 in 1 cars like iracing and AC in the wheels version? That would be great to have a single simshaker for ALL supported flight sims (dcs world and falcon for now, and the aviator later), and one for all supported racing sims. I ask because in the simshaker for wheels info you do not put AC and iracing in the list of supported sims. Thanks

Hi, I have now a gametrix KW-908. I have simshaker 3 in 1 installed and running. Is it normal that I have to right click on the simshaker icon and manually launch simshaker for dcs world, to have it work? If I do not do that, it does not launch automatically when I launch DCS, and of course I have no vibration on my seat. Thanks

Great utility. I have a few questions though : 1. Is there a way to not display the dcs version and the fact that it founds the updater, and just display the message if the updater is not foud? Maybe you could instead of this popup window display the version number on the big window. 2. If I have two dcs world installs, the normal and the v2 alpha, do I have to put two versions of this utility, one in each folder? 3. My dcs install has a few planes installed (saber, p51D, huey, A10) but the updater does not check those modules, and if I click on the key it asks to register the modules. But the modules are already installed and activated on my computer. Thanks

Amazon here (I'm in France) often does that. Even if I send them back a product because I'm not pleased with the product, they sometimes refund me before I send them back the product. BUT if in 30 days I do not send them back the product, they charge my credit card for the price of the product. This is why I like Amazon here, because they have a very good customer service. Works only in the first 30 days after purchase though ^^

Not really, this is the Amazon policy, you can send back any product for whatever reason if you bought it less than 30 days ago, and you never pay the shipping fees. Just that because this is a problem where the product does not work, and because I have asked for a replacement unit, they'll send me the new product before I send them the old one, and I have 30 days to send them back the old product...

Guess the stick is really defective, as when I plug for instance the stick on my steelseries keyboard USB hub, the keyboard stops working till I unplug the stick. The stick makes now the device it is plugged into stop working...

You mean on a USB port of my computer? Yes, I tried, and I also tried on my wife's notebook, it did not see any USB peripheral when I plug it there. But it worked for two weeks, and stopped working just today.

Hi, I need an advice. I bought my warthog about two weeks ago, and I have put it on a plugged 9 ports USB hub. With other peripherals. Today, the stick (and only the stick) stopped working. But that's not all... First, I didn't see the stick again, but the throttle and other peripherals on the USB hub continue to work. Then suddenly they stopped working as well. And if I unplug the warthog stick from the hub, the other peripherals work again. So this is not that a big issue, because the seller (amazon) will send me a new one in exchange, at no cost for me, not even the shipping cost, but I hope this is just a failure in this particular warthog, and not a weakness of other warthogs. Also, do you think putting a stick on a usb hub could damage the stick, or is it impossible? Note that the throttle still works. Just the stick stopped working. Thanks

Guess then I'll continue as I do, with my test script in the GUI to show me the curve. Too bad we cannot launch the GUI and script editor at the same time ^^

I know about the SetSCurve syntax, but seeing a graph of the inputs data is easier to read than just messing out with numbers. Using the GUI allows me to put numbers in the dead zone, zoom and so on fields and immediately see how it changes the curve, so I can easily figure out what will be the good values to enter without too much trial and error... Too bad thrustmaster do not provide a curve tool that just shows up the curve according to some inputs...

Hi, Now I'm trying to build scripts with the script editor, without the GUI, but I find it a bit hard for axis setup, when I want to adjust S or J curve. So, usually what I do is I launch the GUI with a test setup, I adjust the curve there, I look at the script generated then, and I copy the required line into my script. I know this is not DCS related, but I did that for instance to play assetto corsa with the warthog, using throttle I separated into two axis to accelerate and brake, and the stick to steer, with a curve adjustment so the stick will be smoother. So now my question is, is there an easier way to do this, than launching the GUI to edit the curve and see what parameters I should put in SetSCurve function? Thanks

Seems it does not work for all games. Star Citizen, for instance, only recon up to button 50. If I try to map a button higher than that, I'm unable to assign this button to any in game function...

In fact I have noticed the script editor keep the last folder used, so we could put the scripts anywhere. I have even put a file association so .tmc files will open in the script editor when I double click on them, so I just have to double click then click run. Though about the folder used, the issue lies with the GUI now. The GUI creates a .fcf file in the folder you want, that is fine. But behind it also creates a .tmc file, but then this file is put in user folder, appdata, and I don't like this, as this is the kind of folder that get lost usually when I reinstall my computer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the .fcf file is just the GUI file, but all the programming is in the .tmc one, right? And what happen if we modify the .tmc, then open the .fcf file again and do more changes? Will our .tmc changes get lost ? I wonder, do you think I should learn to get rid of the GUI, and do all the programming in the .tmc file myself? Is it hard to do? Too bad the script editor does not have syntax highlights. Though this is convenient to be able to do changes then just click run to test them. Thanks

Oh and to answer my question, all the axis have values from -32767 to +32767 when they are virtual...

Ok I think I found a way. Here is my script if this could help someone... include "target.tmh" int main() { if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1; MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_RIGHT, DX_ZROT_AXIS, AXIS_REVERSED, MAP_ABSOLUTE); MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_LEFT, DX_XROT_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE); MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, DX_YROT_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE); } int EventHandle(int type, alias o, int x) { if(&o == &Throttle & x == THR_RIGHT & Throttle[THR_RIGHT] <= 0) { GetAxisData(&o, x); DXSetAxis(DX_XROT_AXIS, -32767); DXSetAxis(DX_YROT_AXIS, (abs(AxisVal(Throttle[THR_RIGHT], &axdata)))*2-32767); } if(&o == &Throttle & x == THR_RIGHT & Throttle[THR_RIGHT] > 0) { GetAxisData(&o, x); DXSetAxis(DX_XROT_AXIS, (abs(AxisVal(Throttle[THR_RIGHT], &axdata)))*2-32767); DXSetAxis(DX_YROT_AXIS, -32767); } DefaultMapping(&o, x); }

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to plit my right throttle of my warthog into two different axis, so when the right throttle is between 0 (top) and the middle, it puts values into an axis, and the same for bottom half. But can't figure out what values to put into the DXSetAxis. Unsure what the min / max values are for axis. Just to test my little script looks like that : include "target.tmh" int main() { if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1; MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_RIGHT, DX_ZROT_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE); MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_LEFT, DX_XROT_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE); MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, DX_YROT_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE); } int EventHandle(int type, alias o, int x) { if(&o == &Throttle & x == THR_RIGHT & Throttle[THR_RIGHT] < 8192) { GetAxisData(&o, x); DXSetAxis(DX_XROT_AXIS, 0); } if(&o == &Throttle & x == THR_RIGHT & Throttle[THR_RIGHT] >= 8192) { GetAxisData(&o, x); DXSetAxis(DX_XROT_AXIS, 16383); } DefaultMapping(&o, x); } I know the value I put is weird. Still trying to figure out what formula to put there... this function was just to test, I believed 0 and 16383 were also the min/max value of DX_XROT_AXIS as this is the min/max of the DX_ZROT_AXIS (the throttle) but does not seem to be the case... Or maybe the virtual joystick has not the same min/max value as the physical stick? Thanks

I wonder, what is the advantage in setting up buttons for controllers, and then setup the simulation to use buttons, rather than just setup T.A.R.G.E.T to emulate keyboard?

I find the GUI very useful for normal use, we can do a lot of things without having to be a guru programmer ;) 32 buttons is enough for me, as you can also program keystrokes, so you have enough to do anything...

Yes, I know we can save the new configuration anywhere, but is there a way so T.A.R.G.E.T will always then save there, and open profiles from there, without the need to always browse to that location, each time we want to edit, run or create a new configuration? Thanks

Hi, Is there a way to select a default location for scripts and profiles for T.A.R.G.E.T? When I create a new profile with the GUI and try to save it, it always puts me (if I remember well) in the C:\ folder. I would like another default location. Also, on the GUI there is a stock and custom quick profile setup, but no idea where the custom profile seeks the profiles, and if there is a way to change this folder to somewhere else. Thanks

Too bad the max vertical adjustability is only 22 cms, with the height of the warthog will be hard to use it with a long extension (ie 15 cm or so ^^)

Depends what it is for. On the ground with a long shaft is maybe the most realistic to fly helicopters ;) For the stand get a stable one, one that will not drop on the side if you move the stick left or right... You could also try something like that : http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81wO%2Br6SrsL._SL1500_.jpg But this is not between your legs. Also, some people make that themselves : http://i.imgur.com/pcrTQj0.jpg

Maybe on the ground between your legs with a loooong extension? :) Beware though to not break the gimbals and so do not move the stick too hard. Or you could maybe make yourself a piece of wood to put the warthog in front of you with an extension. I'm flying in an obutto r3volution cockpit, so they are designed to put sticks in...

The Sajah's aluminium one look like plain aluminium, according to the pictures, not polished ones ;) Sahaj : MFG : And in fact I prefer the look of the MFG alu than Sahaj's black, but this is just my taste ^^
