FoxTwo Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Is the software required, or can I use the throttle without and still maintain complete functionality? I'm OK with the idea of something you run once for initial setup just not pumped about software that's on all the time if it's not necessary. I see a lot of software hacks mentioned in posts to get switches to behave a certain way but is this optional? I'm currently using a warthog without target and it's fine. I don't need a bunch of macros, a 1:1 mapping of switch functionality is all I'm really interested in. I'd much rather edit LUA input scripts than run an executable.
VirusAM Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 You need to have the software running only if you wish to synchronize panel backlighting and APU light with the DCS Hornet. I disabled it, as the winwing export scripts are causing cpu load issues for me. Anyway with just the software installed you can change the behavior of some axis/buttons and calibrate the throttle afterburner to be at the correct level for DCS planes. But after doing all your configuration you can keep the software closed and you won't lose any functionality.

Gladman Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I use RSMapper for everything. It really depends on what you want for functionality. You can do a lot more the RSMapper than you can with Simapppro. Not to mention, you have access to the creater of RSM right here on this forum.

Supmua Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 The software is required only for initial calibration and LED light setting.

This is a plug and play device similar to other modern peripherals such as VPC or VKB devices. What you do afterward is completely up to you. Well as I wrote above it is required also for having the backlighting and apu light sync with the simulation R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra+F-16 grip+F/A-18 grip, VKB Stecs Max, VKB T-Rudder MKV, Razer Tartarus V2 Secrets Lab Tytan, Monstertech ChairMounts
Vullcan Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 ...and calibrate the throttle afterburner to be at the correct level for DCS planes... Hey Virus, do you mind expanding on that? I did the same thing I did with my warthog which is set the throttle curves in DCS on a plane by plane basis to match the AB detent. Is there a better way?
VirusAM Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Hi.... I had the warthog throttle before and what i did with it was using "cummunity curves" for every plane (there is a thread on this somewhere).... With the winwing throttle you just calibrate afterburner and in DCS magically you have the detents lined up for every plane...or at least the ones i tried (Hornet, F16 and F14). I don't know what is happening under the hood but i do suspect that winwing software is doing some scripting with DCS R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra+F-16 grip+F/A-18 grip, VKB Stecs Max, VKB T-Rudder MKV, Razer Tartarus V2 Secrets Lab Tytan, Monstertech ChairMounts
