Thrustmaster TFRP TARGET GUI help

[clafly]

Can anyone help me to explain to configure TFRP in TARGET for wheel brake, it's possible? I'd like to use TARGET for each of my DCS modules.. (sorry my English :) )

 

or I can use it only for rudder?

 

I've a HOTAS Warthog and TFRP from one week and I use only TARGET GUI.

Going by memory here, but I think you will want to choose axis in the DCS controller menu ( while your TARGET profile is running), and assign your toe brake axis from within there.

Note you may have to click the invert button for toe brakes, most pedals one does but I am not sure if TFRP is the same way.

Ok thanks

I think you are right, can use only TFRP rudder axis through TARGET 'combined device' if this follow Windows 8 axes limit per controller (physical or virtual).

 

Warthog = 2

Throttle = 5

TFRP = 3

 

Besides this in DCS world you need three different kinds of "brakes".

 

1 - Right brake, left brake (P-51, Bf 109...).

 

2 - Wheel brakes = both pressed simultaneous (e.g. Spitfire, Mig-21...)

 

3 - Brakes by button/key press only, (Su-25T...)

 

For 2 a script for TARGET - but will be possible use if only TFRP use TARGET due the above axes limit (if is the case).

You can also assign both toe brake axis in DCS GUI as well.

left, right, then pressing both as well.

Well so is more practical just use TFRP outside TARGET, no axes limitation. :)

Agreed, ED did a superb job in their controller setup menu. One of the reasons I have gotten away from TARGET.

Ok, I'll try without TARGET..

But in DCS for example in F-5E, is correct if in rudder, I assign axis joy_z for "rudder", joy_x for "wheel break right", joy_y for "wheel brake left"? :cry:

The name of axis don't matter, and you can see in Windows Control Panel > Games Controllers (joy.cpl in start box) what is the axis for rudder moving the pedal, if are unsure.

 

In DCSW controls assign rudder - in "Axes" - click in "Axis tuning" and move the pedal to see how work, if need tick "Invert".

 

The do the same for brakes, in "Axis tuning" set then as slider (without center position).

Concur. It's much easier to use the TFRP outside of TARGET, unless you have an old game like EF2000 where you need all inputs on a single controller. That's where TARGET is really useful.

 

If you already have a Cougar or Warthog and use TARGET for DCS, you can use the following command in main() to put the TFRP on a separate controller:

Configure(&TFRPRudder,MODE_EXCLUDED);

Ok thanks, yes I've Warthog.. now I don't know how to use TFRP with wheel brake left and right in F-5E (and other modules) I don't understand if Axmap2 is correct for this use :doh:

[Home Fries]

Are you using a TARGET profile with your warthog? If so, add the line I gave you to the main() routine in the profile and you can map the rudder as a separate controller. This works around the Windows 8 axis limitation.

 

Your best bet is to not program the TFRP, but to assign commands to it as a separate controller in DCS. Hope this is clear.

[clafly]

Yes Yes I'll try tomorrow :thumbup:

And this take only "3 minutes" to be done. :)
