Where do I put the HOTAS profile files.

[blackvette702]

I just purchased the A-10C and downloaded a profile for my TM1600 HOTAS. Where do I put the HOTAS files?

Hi blackvette702,

 

It depends, is it a DCS controller profile or does it use thrustmaster target software?

 

I know little about the target software, it could be better to post a link to the profile you downloaded, so the guy's here can help you.

OK, I'll try and find the link.

[blackvette702]

I couldn't find the link again. The two files in the zip files are: A10C_T16k_joy.diff.lua & A10C_T16k_thr.diff.lua. Any idea where I need to put them?

Found it.

The files are not really needed, just set it up like the picture in DCS options. I would even print this and write on it, so you can make changes to it if you want to and it helps when learning a setup.

 

 

The assignments with the (DOT) next to it means (With modifier key held down)

 

Example: China aft = Normal button (With modifier held down + Button = Air brake extend)

 

You need to add this modifier key to DCS

 

See this here on steam, then go to the modifier section using the index to learn how.

 

You can add many more extra keys than this profile has if you wish to. Example I added the 3 auto pilot settings to my CH HOTAS.

 

So, once you have setup the "modifier key" assigning keys are the same way as normally do, except you tell DCS that this is with the modifier key + button.

 

This doubles the amount of usable buttons on your controls.

David OC,

Thank you for your time with this.

I also highly recommend downloading Chuck's DCS A-10C guide, if you haven't already.
