Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog buttons ?

[Alon_D]

Hello everyone

Can anyone give me explanation of what the role of each system is and what it controls in the plane?

For example, what is the TAD system and what is the MAKE SPI and so on ...?

These are not for the Eagle. Look in the A-10C subforum.

I want this for model F15

I dunno about the warthog in particular, but here's your basic functional groupings:

 

1. Aircraft control. Speed brake (used a lot). Trim (used very little). NWS. Gear and flaps have to be mapped somewhere, I found it easiest to map to HOTAS under a function switch. Fuel jett (as opposed to stores jet!)

2. HUD mode. Nav, BVR, next/prev waypoint is worth mapping to a hat switch somewhere.

3. Sensors. Radar elevation, radar on/off, PRF, TWS on/off, ACM modes. (You'll use vertical scan a lot, cannon a lot, bore some, flood never.) TDC slew, select, unselect

4. Countermeasures. Chaff, flares, ecm

5. Weapons. Gun, pickle, change weapon

6. Startup. Power, canopy, right engine start, left engine start, taxi light, anticollision lights, all used frequently. If you fly at night, you'll need console lights and hud toggle

7. Comms. I'd reserve a two-way switch for SRS if I were you, most of the time all you need is the comm menu though. Might consider mapping a button somewhere for bogey dope.

 

The only thing unique to the Warthog is, I hear people griping about TDC select all the time, I guess they usually map that to the joystick rather than the TDC slew mechanism. Otherwise, long as you understand the functional groupings you should be able to come up with something that makes sense to you.
