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 ^^

In fact I found the polished aluminium pretty. wonder if they are not better looking than black. Seems sahaj ones (alu) are not polished...

I thought about buying the extensions from the maker of MFG crosswind pedals. Though I'll check sahaj as well. MFG is cheaper though :) http://mfg.simundza.com/blog/new-product-mfg-warthog-extensions/

So, I just bought the warthog, just bought also the obutto warthog mount (ouch, the shipping fees are about the same as the product itself ^^), and will wait for this to be put in my cockpit to decide which size of the warthog extension I'll get ^^ And so I'll try to sell my X55, and also my saitek TPM ^^

Cannot use voice attack, my wife will kill me if I start talking to my computer in the middle of the night :)

In fact I think I will buy the whole thing. When I think about it, with virtual reality too many buttons is the best way to use the wrong switch. So better to less buttons :)

Ouch you're trying to make me spend 150 more euros, damn :) The thing I have to consider as well is I need enough buttons on my hotas because I fly with an htc vive therefore I need all important commands on the hotas as I cannot use the keyboard anymore... Though I have noticed I rarely setup anything on all the x55 throttle switches...

I know I know... I ordered them in february but still waiting because the combat plates are not ready yet, and I don't want the "feet on plates" version :) But considering maybe to get only the warthog stick, and keep the X55 throttle, as the advantage of the X55 is the more buttons/switches/rotaries, seems the X55 throttle has more possibilities than the warthog one. For you, Gladman, who had both, how would you compare the two throttles? The warthog HOTAS is 400 € in france, and the stick alone only 250 €. So, 150 € less expensive... For instance, flying the TF51-D I have setup the top rotary of the X55 throttle to be yaw trim, and bottom rottary to be rudder trim, looks a lot like the real plane this way :)

Sorry to bring out a quite old topic, but I'm having the same question. Especially now that we can buy the warthog stick alone. I have a X55 hotas, but considering getting the warthog stick and keep the X55 throttle, because of the more switches and buttons and rotaries on the X55 throttle in comparison with the warthog throttle. Only drawback is I'll not be able to sell my X55 stick alone I guess, but the drawback will be lowered because I'll have to pay a lot less for the stick alone than the whole warthog setup... and I'm mostly interested by the stick, not the throttle...

Thanks. Maybe though I'll wait to get the mfg crosswinds pedals before changing my hotas, as the twist grip of the X55 is quite handy without pedals... Or, can I use something on the stick or hotas to replace the rudder (for planes, not helicopters of course), while I wait for the mfg crosswind pedals to be ready?

Something I wonder... now that thrustmaster is also selling the stick and the throttle separately, don't you think I could keep the X55 throttle and just buy the stick? Sure this will prevent me from selling my X55 though, as nobody will buy a X55 stick without the throttle... You preferred your X55 throttle than the warthog one? Thanks (I also saw that thrustmaster designed a new mid range throttle sold separately, the FCW or something like that, with the new SMART technology, that could be useful to add new axis if we need so in a plane ^^)

Hi, So, with a 13 cm metal extension, in a home cockpit (obutto r3volution), is the stick still sturdy? I have read that the plastic gimbal may break. Also, on a forum someone said that "The stick is plagued by 'stiction'" (no idea of what it means). The same user on the same forum also says that "My Warthog HOTAS had stiction out-of-the-box and the throttle fell to bits...within the first 8 hours of use" I currently own a X55 in an obutto r3volution cockpit, but I thought about buying a warthog hotas to replace it, with a 13 cm metal extension to have a longer stick (MFG makes those), and the obutto warthog mount system to hard mount it in my cockpit. Unsure if it worth the price though to switch from my X55 (which still works perfectly) to the warthog hotas. Thanks

btw what use is the guncam? To be used as a recon plane? Or for the team to look after what plane we have shot down? Though guess I'll try it. And as I don't have a double detent trigger, I'll put the trigger for both action (guncam AND gun) if it is possible... So just a picture we see, and then disappear, that's that? We really need belsimtek to have this behave like the real one ^^

Oh, we can't save them? How do we look at them then? :)

In fact I have figured out how to do this just yesterday. The slider is some kind of a button, button pressed when the slider is right, button released when the slider is left. So I have setup the saitek profile so when the button is released, it types then release the keyboard shortcut for airbrake on, and when the button is pressed, it types then release the keyboard shortcut for airbrake off. And it works fine...

But as the guncam is activated by mid pressing the trigger, does it mean that each time the sabre is firing (I mean, the real sabre), a video is made?
