DarkStar79 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Do anybody have a picture of the joystick and throttel button layout from the real plane. Im using a Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar and trying to see how I should map the buttons on the joystick and throttel?

TomCatMucDe Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I guess the NWS unlocks a target but not to lock it?I don't see any button for that here.
Greyman Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 maybe pushing the "nipple" on the throttle designator control is what is used to lock a target ??? That functionality would need to be on the HOTAS somewhere
crab Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 An FYI as reported on another thread... It would seem Wags has his hands on a prototype of the upcoming TM F18 grip and has been using it for the last few days. The fact that he also said he is using the WH throttle would seem to dim the hope of a new throttle coming as well. Down in the input section for those that are interested... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209079&page=2
Eaglewings Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I am just wondering what the price for the Thrustmaster FA-18c Flight stick is going to be. Just a ballpark range. Maybe I should hold off a bit from plans to buy the TM warthog flightstick for the DCS Hornet.

ruprecht Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Anyone figured out a mapping to the Warthog?

I imported the PDF into Adobe Indesign and added the labels from there. You could probably do the same in GIMP or whatever.

Thank you Ruprecht, I'll take a look at Indesign or some other software to edit the PDF easily as Acrobat has never been that easy for me to work with.

illmind Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Kind of pathetic that they release without something as essential as a TDC axis bind...
CHRISXTR3M3 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Kind of pathetic that they release without something as essential as a TDC axis bind... Yea...it can be frustrating...I'm trying my part to at least help out those I can, with hardware configurations similar to mine...If I had the Thrustmaster A-10C Throttle Im sure I'd have a profiler ready for that as well... any clue what keyboard keys the TDC slewing is defaulted to for the Hornet?

some1 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 any clue what keyboard keys the TDC slewing is defaulted to for the Hornet? The usual: comma, dot, slash, semicolon.
