  1. Thanks Sokol, I tried again with a newer version of T-Link and firmware. Now it works no problem with the Thrustmaster Warthog, much easier to use than when I first bought the T-rudder a few years ago. But still, I think I will stay with joystick gremlin, first because you can configure a lot of controllers with it, and second because you can use brakes progressively, and with T-Link it makes them work in an on/off fashion, but maybe I did not configure it correctly. But I agree, I am nitpicking, it works well enough for you to take it to the skies, where you spend most of the time anyways !
  2. I could never make it work using T-link, but maybe it is because I don't have a vkb hotas, only the rudder. The software was having a hard time recognizing TM Warthog inputs. Maybe I will try again. And because TMW "brake lever" is only a button, and not an axis like on Vkb and Virpil sticks, it make using it as wheel brake modifier a bit wonky. When you push rudder left or right, it brakes proportionally to how much rudder you apply, and when you keep the pedals centered it just apply full brakes in a matter of seconds, with no way of adjusting it. Maybe I need to dig deeper, but to me the virtual toe brakes stuff still feels a bit off on the T-rudder. So if you fly a lot of WWII warbirds in dcs (where they do not offer a russian brake style like in IL2) it may not be for you. But then again they are great rudder pedals, solid build, small footprint and pretty cheap. For DCS in general it is really good, just for WWII stuff it may not be as good as MFGs.
  3. To brake both at the same time, you need to use another button or axis and bind it to wheel brake both. But you cannot brake both sides at the same time with the pedals. What I use is : Standard rudder axis : rudder Rudder axis + button in joystick gremlin : brake left when rudder to the left brake right when rudder to the right On warthog throttle I use the grey wheel (incr.-decr.) for wheel brake both, but you can instead use a button or a switch It works okay, but I guess MFG are better in that regard. In DCS it is only necessary for warbirds, especially FW190 and BF109. For modern airplanes I just use the paddle switch on Warthog stick.
  4. I use joystick gremlin to configure it. Basically the t-rudder only has 1 axis, rudder. But in the software you can make it like when you press a button of your choice, while using rudder, it creates 2 new axis, one for each toebrake. This post I found explains it better : For Xplane I don't know, but in DCS you just need to assign the new axis to wheel brakes left and right for each plane, while holding the button you chose and moving the rudder. The only drawback for me is that you cannot use both toebrakes at the same time, because once configured you press the button + left rudder for left brake, and button + right rudder for right brake.
  5. Order #2166 received, installed and tried a few days ago. Once shipping confirmed, the package came pretty fast to france, even with the free shipping non-tracked option. The product is neatly packed, no worries there. Installation and configuration with provided information is really easy if you read them carefuly. Only tested a few hours, but I must say I'm really impressed with the quality of the product. It's a real game changer compared to the original warthog slew control, which I found unusable. Slewing missiles and pods become so much more natural, less a fight against the machine. I used recommended configuration of +10 curvature on both axes, plus a small deadzone. I'm having a hard time using TDC depress without moving the sensor, I guess due to it's position on the throttle ? Maybe I can correct it with adjustments in axis tune, maybe I just need to get used to it. Overall real good product and fast shipping, I'm glad someone put time and effort to propose a good alternative to one of the biggest drawback of the TM Warthog. Cheers !
