Need help with joystick profile

[NO1PRODIGY]

Hello peeps.

I have a Thrustmaster hotas warthog and i trying to install the lua profile for blackshark 2 game using the in game control/options to find the file. NOW..the problem is the files do not show up as lua files. I can only see the files if i click SHOW ALL files. Even when i click show all files and load the lua file they dont seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appriciated

why not map the controls from the beginning?

If the file is a *.lua and not a *.diff.lua then it cannot be used in the current version of DCS. Changes to the file name and structure were implemented in v1.2.8 which made older files incompatible.

 

Finding a newer version or remapping the controls yourself, are your only options.

Mapping the controls really doesn't take that long, and having your own profile makes it easier to remember where everything is!

Thank you ciclidfan for that piece of information i never knew that was the case. .Is their anyway to use a lua profile and edit it any way and use it as a diff.lau

Trust me, mapping the controls from scratch is 'child's play' compared to converting one to the other.

Their used to be quite a few hotas warthog profiles in the downloads section with full picture illustration. I was using one of the profile so,e time last year and it was spot on for my needs. I simple printed on the picture diagram and used that as a guide.

+1 for do the mappings yourself.

 

It would probably take a while if you would want to do it all in one go, but you can do it incrementally instead. Just map the most important functions first (pitch/roll axis, rudder, collective, trim button, weapons fire) and you can already take off. When you notice that you are missing something, just map it "on the fly". This way you become much better familar with your setup than when you would have to learn and memorize someone else's.
