TM F18 Stick Default Controls

[Radial9]

I know eyes are probably going to roll over this real NOOB question, but after spending considerable time reading through forums and looking through Youtube, I'm still unsure of the direct answer, so please forgive my ignorance.

 

If I decide to fall down the F18C rabbit hole and purchase a TM F18C stick, will I be able to set my F18C Control bindings back to default, use Chucks or Redkite's throttle bindings and leave the stick as is and just bind the throttle?

 

I guess I'm asking will I experience the same ease of use that the A10C has with the TM Hog stick. It's all pre mapped.

 

I also have two TM Cougars, (3 actually) and understand that MFCD 1 and 2 buttons will, by default, pre mapped, but I will have to work on #3.

 

Thanks!!!! Appreciate the community putting up with a clueless old man trying to have some fun.

I got the Hornet stick on release, so I honestly don't remember if it came with everything bound out of the box.

Assuming that you have the Warthog base, make sure it's updated with the latest firmware, in order to recognize the stick.

After that's done, you'd pop the stick in and see if DCS has the bindings set correctly. If not, use the real stick as reference to bind the appropriate buttons and that'll leave you with 3 spare buttons (the thumb"wheel").

If you need help, don't hesitate to ask.
