To: Vycheslav Tepun on Target issues

[sobe]

The person at HavocCompanyClan that does all of the great Virpil tutorial videos on YouTube would do a video on how to get Target Software to work with a Virpil base and a TM WH grip if Virpil would lend him a TM WH grip. Any chance of that happening? This would be a great aid to us nontechies that keep screwing up the attempt to run target with the TM WH grip and a Virpil base.

Using Thrustmaster TARGET software with a VPC controller?

I thought you need the Thrustmaster controller electronics for that.

No. Target is supposed to work with the Virpil base and the TM WH grip by changing the VID/PID numbers, but it seems that it is not easy or a sure thing.

Well, I’ll be darned... A short google turned up some answers. Seems like it is possible. But that must mean that the TARGET code isn’t stored onboard the stick. I thought it was...

Haven’t used TARGET in many years.

What TARGET do is stored in the own software, not in stick EPROM like is in Cougar, VKB, VPC.

Exactly. I thought TARGET converted it in to the TM code and stored it onboard, like Foxy did.

But I only used TARGET briefly. When I got the Warthog, all sims had their own ability to store control input.

But I get that it is interesting to be able to use TARGET for VPC controllers, if they are using Cougar MFD’s and such.

Hi everyone!

 

We do not advise using, or provide support for using TARGET (or any other non-VPC software) with VPC controllers as we cannot guarantee it's operation. Any use of the TARGET software with VPC controllers is not officially recommended and is done so at the user's own risk.
