davebert Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 My new Warthog should be here next week and was wondering what is the best way to install it? Do I remove my old X52 pro bindings and if so how? Does DCS have a quick way to get the WH set up or should I run the TARGET software? Thanks in advance, Dave
hansangb Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 If you're using it for A10C, everything works out of the box. You don't have to do anything. For other airplanes, you have a choice. Configure things within DCS Control setup, *or* use TARGET to assign functions to the joystick. Which is better is a matter of taste and many debates have happened in the past! When you unplug the X52, the assignment within DCS should go away. If not, you can click on the column for X52 and use "CLEAR all bindings" function. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

ReflexArc Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Not to self-promote, but I just got the TM Warthog, myself, and I also just posted a TARGET script which gives you effectively more switch-button outputs, for when you want to use it with other planes. This way, you don't have to make a bunch of custom LUA press-release commands by hand. The main downside of this approach is having to either rebind or disable TARGET when/if you want to play with the A-10C default profile. Member of TAW-North America.

ReflexArc, I will check out your script once we get up and running with the new stick. I will want to become familiar with TARGET though first. Any youtube videos on the TARGET software? Thanks
