TM T.16000M HOTAS help (I hope this makes sense)

[tn_prvteye]

Ok, I had to replace my X52 after it finally broke (for good this time). I decided to try the the T.16000M (the HOTAS version with the throttle). And I HATE the software. Anyway, I've got an odd issue and I was hoping someone here has seen it before.

 

I'm avoiding using the TARGET software for now since when I run a config, none of the hats are recognized by DCS, and I HAVE to use TARGET to program all of it. When I don't run a config, DCS sees all the hats and buttons fine.

 

So, I decided to assign a modifier in DCS...I assigned a button on the throttle as a modifier. However, this modifier acts as a TOGGLE switch instead of a"press and hold" to activate switch. In other words, I hold down the modifier button and then another button and then release....the modifier stays active until I press it again. Example:

 

I've assigned JOY1 to Cockpit View, and JOY2 (modifier)+JOY1 as external view. So I press and hold JOY2, then JOY1...I go to external view. Now with JOY2 not being touched, I press JOY1 again...still goes to external view...like JOY2 was still being pressed. I press JOY2 AGAIN...release, THEN press JOY1 it goes to Cockpit view.

 

This make any sense? I hope I've explained this well enough...I haven't had enough coffee yet. Yes I know I can use the TARGET software, but I want to avoid that if possible.

 

UPDATE: Ok, I definitely need more coffee. I assigned it as a"Switch", not a modifier.

 

Please disregard, but I'll keep the post up as a lesson to others...don't be like me. :D
