Thanks you are right, it is time comcuming, but not hard work, true. After I understand the way TARGET think, step by step, it has became very handy to me, just in past two days. With TARGET, I'v already assigned DCS functions to every button and every switch position on cougar and for LN's Mig21 and Huey, alot fun. I am almost totally hand free from keyboard for usual flight. I'll try to understand TARGET more in future. Only drawback is I need open Target and open DCS , switch from DCS window to TARGET window, time and time again. I use one whole night for one aircraft setting. But after I finished one profile and adjusted it to ideal state, I felt so good.

Thank you I will go and learn from the link!

I wanna say, if TARGET software let player assign part of buttons and switches, while leave the others still as buttons, programming for us will be much much more easier. Maybe they can creat a check box, in parameters gui, named "work as usual founction" and checked in default. When player do want to change a button, uncheck. Then player can even edit a single button and start profile use. but now I need print all key assignment list in game and do alot to assign all key commands to fulfil all those functions that can originally done by buttons by default. Maybe just for one single needed button.

Thank you so much, suddenlly I understand, please tell me I'm right or not. Those DirectX game buttons do not correstpond to real buttons on throttle and stick. In TARGET, I should assign all buttons to simulats keyboard keys, following the default key combine set in game, such as DCS option control section. Those DirectX game buttons in TARGET will be used only when a game dosen't allow player assign keyboard to that function or wasn't defaultly assigned by game maker. am i right? so A detail TARGET PROFILE can be used only for one aircraft in DCS, because once I start DCS throught TARGET "fly now", those real buttons on controller will not be regarded as buttions anymore, if I didn't assign them to any key command, DCS can not detect them anymore. Those assigned buttons are keyboard command, those did assigned buttions are nothing, just blank. thank you so much

I want to use TARGET has only one reason, because, in my mind,that is the only way to make those 3-positon switches work as 3-postion switches. Are there only 32 DX game buttons for both throttle and stick controller? if yes, that means 1/3 TM warthog buttons will be wasted. did I make any mistake? or misunderstand about TARGET?( I'm new at TARGET) should I synchroniz buttons' names to "DC game buttons" in "virtual game/keyboard/mouse" in paremeter setting section? is there other way to use TARGET but without waste any buttons on warthog or cougar? and of course, be recognized by DCS? Appreciate

I know, but I found here is more suitable for my question after I'v post my question at other place, and there is no delet founction in this forum. and I'm new at here, thanks. who can delet that thread,please delet it.

I try to make those 3-positon switchs on warthog work as 3 buttons, and succeed and I didn't touch any other buttons. and start DCS by clicking "fly now" through TARGET. In DCS, I tested the 3-positon switch, they work as 3position,as what I need. But question is: when I try to set all the other buttons those I never edit, using the usual way in DCS, I found DCS dose Not identify all the other buttons. Click "add" , press buttons on controllers, buttons did not show up in setting. what should I do? later, I try to synchronize button name in "windows control panel" with "direct X gmae buttons" in TARGET parameters setting" virtual game/keyboard/mouse/, except those 3-position switches I successfully set as I need. And then I save event. after I finish synchroniz those buttons on "direct X game buttons" 32keys in virtual game/keyboard/mouse, I start synchronize names of right hand stick buttons, till that moment, I found there are only 32 direct X game buttons for both stick and throttle in "virtual kdyboard ....." I overwrote many buttons on throttle, and then I realize. what should I do? how to let all buttons and switches be identify in DCS control setting. thank you due to my language problem, even I read manual but failed to find any information about the problem I met. please illuminate me, Appreciate!

Thanks learn alot

Almost all simulator sticks are spring load back to center. my question is, in real world aircraft, in majority aricrafts, is the stick mechanically fored back to center? How about helicopter cyclic stick? Without using force trim, is cyclic stick spring load forced to center? Thank you

edit buttons in Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T then lost all buttons in DCS How many percentage of modern air fighters used FFSB stick? roughly. which one except F-16?

thankyou thank you very much!

thank you for respond I am new for TARGET software, sorry in TARGET window, where should I set option or type "FLAPU press = flaps up FLAPU release = flaps middle FLAPD press = flaps down FLAPD release = flaps middle"in?? and, do you mean, useing TARGET, I don't need worry about DCS update anymore? And the change to those 3-positon switches will keep work in other simulation games. If without TARGET edit, only change DCS gui, changes will be ereased by update? and a freshman question, what is gui?? Thanks

Am I right? At T.A.R.G.E.T manual page 38, "press and release" ?? but i don't understand manual's word the key? the button? bla bla bla and what should I pay attention and be careful? Thanks alot

AS title, my question is how to let 3 position switch on thrustmaster Cougar and warthog work as 3 key? As default, for all 3-position switchs on thrustmaster controllers , only up-position and down-position (or, forward-positon and backward-position)can be identified by PC as 2 key. How can we change this, let the middle positon be recognized and work as one key? I will read the manual carefully later, but this is the first question come to my mind and the first edit I eager to do. Could you tell me How to do or how to index in manual? T.A.R.G.E.T ? which section in the manual ? is T.A.R.G.E.T the only way to do? if not, in DCS, how ? Deeply appreciate!

Thanks I will try. What is FFB? curve throttle --> personnal corrected for hover and landing facilities : 0 / 28 / 44 / 55 /64 /73 / 80 /85 / 88 / 92 / 100" What are Hover and landing facilities you talk about? To where should I set those number ? and how? Appreciate

Thank you !:pilotfly:

Thank you now my question changes to how many more hardware I should buy to feed DCS:D

I am soooo happy to hear what u told me, hahaha what a beautiful cockpit, I mean it. BTW, Why do you plug two mice? what for? please let me know, because I had a same mind spark at a short moment. I want my left hand click mouse while right hand on stick, that is the only reason I have in my mind. But I didn't try. Any other use of the left hand mouse? Thank you

If pilot want to RTB after they out of all weapon but don't wanna finish last single cannon bullets, how can I set in mission editor? Cannon is unguided weapon, that is true. But if we set out of ammo condition as unguided,which included cannon bullet, that means these aircraft can RTB only after they expended the last bullet of cannon. That is not so reasonable and lack of option. In many flight ground attack mission, aircrafts, specially attack aircrafts or heli, will load both guided and unguided weapon for mission. And at many time, maybe they will RTB when all guided and unguided are expended but except cannon bullets. So in advanced setting, if we can have two more optional RTB out of ammo's conditions named " All except cannon" (which means out of both guided and unguided except cannon) and "All unguided except cannon" (which means out of all unguided except cannon) ?? Those two options maybe will give mission maker more option and will make the mission reasonable. How do think? or I misunderstand the setting ?

DCS recognized my three brand, four set hardwares. CH peddle, TM Cougar set, Saitek trimmer and mouse.(DCS regard TM stick and throttle as one hardware ) Now I want to change my stick from TM cougar to another brand one,while keep the cougar throttle, that means there will be five hardwares be pluged. My question is: is there a limitation for the numbers of hardware that can be recognized by DCS? And, what is your experience on combine hardware use in DCS? Thanks!!

Met same problem, hope put this problem at bug list . Now, I can only takeoff immediatlely after I land on deck, or my aircraft will sink deep six. I hope I can land on deck and have a cup of tea.

thank you for your reply, now I know didn't make mistake. thank you. and another definite problem,or to say bug, is MY huey onboard slowly move forward on deck.looks like there is no friction. huey will finally drop from fly deck.:pilotfly:

LN fishbed Mig21 is the best simulation I'v ever fly. Amazing !! I hope LN can make F-4, same generation with Mig21, all details are no more secret. So we can start DCS vietnam dogfight. Glad to hear LN will make DCS scenery. Hope LN team have scenery plan of vietnam.

I want to know how do you use trim in Huey， because I am still struggling to trim properly and smoothly. Trying to follow real life way, every time, I try to keep the stick position indicator off. I watched those tuitorial videos but I believe anyone must has more thumb triks besides those mentioned in tuitorials. Or to say, describe with more hand move detail and hand feeling. question are: when will you set trim, which moment? when will you reset, which moment? Is there any hand or feet movment advise you conclude by yourself about the trim? Is there any skill or thumb trik for the reset trim moment? because everytime, when I reset trim, the head will sink suddenly, even I get ready to pull circle stick. The only thing I can imagine to prevent sink is pull circle stick inadvance, before pressing reset button. I know that must be inproper way. so could you share your experience here? Appreicate!
