T.A.R.G.E.T. Profiles or DCS: World profiles?

[KaspeR32]

Hi everyone,

 

I just wanted to know whether most people with TM Warthog used the TARGET programming software, or they use DCS: World to configure their joystick profiles.

 

I've currently just been using DCS: World, especially because they added the ability to manage your control settings from within a mission now.

 

Is there any advantages for using the TARGET software over in game profiles?

I program mine in DCS options. However, I do use TARGET in other sims like Falcon BMS.

I use Target with all of my flight sims. For one thing, when I first rotated my stick mount, it was a necessity (before I got an extension that could have handled the rotation without rotating the base). Now that I have a 'library' of Target scripts and am comfortable with it, I can set up a new aircraft quite quickly.

 

The real advantages of Target lies in when you want to do something out of the ordinary, like having a button short press center TIR while a long press pauses it or alter the function of a button press based on the position of two switches. Another nice thing is the ability to switch axis curve presets on-the-fly. If you dig into it, the scripting language will do a lot. The manual is not the best, and it does contain some small errors though.

I use target to turn off the throttle lights.
