  1. I'm beginning to understanding the nuances of DCS, not the most robust software.... Once I'm comfortable with dogfighting at slower speeds I'm going to move on back to Falcon BMS.
  2. So DCS doesn't seem to like if I have the 2 throttles on the Warthog physically attached. It wants to see each one move independently. It looking for my right throttle to be thrust and the left throttle to be rudder. It won't let me control the rudder with the keyboard if I'm using the Warthog. Does anyone else experience this?????? btw, Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow
  3. This has been extremely helpful to me, thank you Chuck!
  4. Excellent, I know exactly what to do then. Thank you tom_19d!
  5. I'm using a TM TARGET profile. Will the DCS controls page still have influence?
  6. I've got things working, but my throttle seems to be controlling my rudders????? The stick works fine. I didn't specifically bind these to anything. When I worked on the profile I didn't see where to assign axes, I saw the curves in the first step of building the profile, but I didn't alter anything.
  7. I started testing the separate bindings and I wound up changing them all to hold. They work exactly like they would if I was using a keyboard. It’s going to be interesting to try them out, gotta watch some football and see who wins the NASCAR championship first!
  8. I imported the html data into excel and am having too much fun : )
  9. I'm working on the profile and I have a question about the event types. I'm thinking the gun fire is a "hold" type and weapon release a "pulse" type. Would that be correct?
  10. Excellent Sn8ke_iis! I'm using "Chuck's Guide" as a starting point for the layout, it only has a handful of mappings, from there I'll advance through the training missions and then think more about it. I just need to get in the air for now : )
  11. I don't want to sound lame, but I can't find a keyboard layout for F-86. Am I missing something or is there not one?
  12. More great information Sn8ke iis, thank you.
  13. Excellent information, and advice, Tom! This really clears up how the sim and controller work together, I'm new to the HOTAS setup too. This will save me time and frustration.
  14. Quick question: If I do a target profile (which I run before I start F-86) can I also make changes in the DCS controller configuration screen? In other words, do they play well together or is it one or the other?
  15. Thanks Sn8ke iis, and tom 19d! Sn8ke iis, I'm going to take your advice and build a profile gradually. The main thing is to get up in the air! I haven't flown a sim in years and I feel the F-86 is the best way to get back into it.
