Yet another warthog slew upgrade

[Crusader69]

For those who have orders placed awaiting for fulfillment I got a notification that #2164 (my order!) shipped today... they're definitely pumping out the shipments at this point.

 

Yes!!! Received my notification as well. Thank you... :thumbup:

I got mine a while ago (#331), installed it and tested it in the windows config and it worked immediately and perfectly.

 

Only just started having some time to play DCS in my beloved A10C, but the slew isn't recognized :'(

I tried configuring it as an axis, but the option isn't available in the control config panel.

I'm probably missing something that'll make me facepalm once I'm told, but I'm willing to take that chance.

How do I configure my slew to work??

How about a kit for this mod: ;)

Make sure that the marked axis commands are assigned to the slew sensor.

This - but you need to press the "ADD" button and then move the axis to select it. The "Assign Axis" button dosen't do what you would expect...

[Nerull]

I tried to assign the axis to slew, but the option isn't available, it's not in the clearer blue like the available options

 

Clicking add gets no reponse when I have the slew axis command selected either.

 

Funny thing is that DCS does recognize the joy axis input. When I tried on a "light blue" area (rudder in this case) it actually detected and selected the joy_X or joy_Y inputs.

Are you selecting the "HOTAS Slew Horizontal/Vertical" (above the pitch and roll)?

 

 

 

The "TDC Slew (mouse)" is only an option for using your mouse and can't be used as a joystick axis.

[Nerull]

Found it!

Thanks to a post on reddit (

)!

I checked my Throttle lua file

 

and it had

["name"] = "HOTAS Slew Horizontal", ["removed"] = {[1]}

["name"] = "HOTAS Slew Vertical",["removed"] = {[1]

 

in it, which blocked the axis availablity. I removed the lines

 

And now the axis is available:

 

 

Thanks for the help!!

#2149 arrived today! Can’t wait to install it after work!

[docvego]

Order #2179 just shipped today!

[dmonds]

Order #2129 just arrived today...yay.

 

Flippin’ NZ Post took 3 times longer to deliver to me once it arrived in country than it took to post and RM to get to NZ.

Each module requires a specific setup and pilot discipline is required when used.

Enjoy.

My order-number is 2285, so still some more waiting time :music_whistling:

[PsiBurr]

A shipment from order #2200 is on the way ! :joystick:

[scath0]

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 !

if 2200 is on the way only a bit more until my order 2259 gets sent! currently expecting delivery in september

#2165 received. Will install later today. ������

 

#2164 was received last week and installed over the weekend. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

 

I can’t overstate how much of an upgrade it really is... especially with the TGP in play for the Hornet now. You can quickly scroll the Hornet TGP position indicator completely across the SA screen in seconds (which was painfully slow with the Thrustmaster version) but you also have the fidelity for precise adjustments on the targets when need be. It’s worth every penny and time spent to install...

 

For those on the fence do it.

Started to sweat when I test it after installed... because the thing won't move at all in the "Game Controller" Axes test. Re-open the throttle and found the cable connector was not properly installed on the PCB. Pressed slightly harder till it have a "click" solved the problem. Phew.... It is so much better control on the TGP now. Hate Thrustmaster, for making me struggling with the "nipple" for so long.

Order #2231 has been shipped!

[DannyCrane]

Order #2111 here,

 

This upgrade is great. Easy to install, easy to get calibrated, and it is so much better than stock. I never bothered much with the stock nub since it was so bad. The function of this upgrade is great, but I have one complaint. The depress function is really stiff, and can make using it difficult. I imagine I can get used to it, but it is the only critique of this product I have.

 

I started out using the circle gate for the joystick, but found I like the square gate better, glad that I got the option.

[sobe]

I just got notice that my mod has shipped so I started to review the PDF instructions. I only fly DCS and noticed the mod comes with two front plates. I assume that for DCS I should use the circular plate. Correct?

Best thing is, I will receive my mod in september and I still don‘t have a warthog yet :D

[crash test pilot]

Order #2243 shipped - feeling like a dad-to-be...

[docvego]

Order #2179 was delivered yesterday to North East USA. I just finished the installation, like everyone else has said, it took about 15 minutes.

 

 

 

Install and calibration was a breeze.

 

 

 

Thanks so much for such a great kit! High quality controller, great tracking and excellent instructions.
