LazyGuns Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I am using Thrustmaster HOTAS default settings with my Warthog Stick and Throttle. With one exception, I have mapped the Sensor Control Switch to the "Castle" Control Switch. I cannot bring up the "diamond" on the left DDI, with the HARM page selected. A/G Master Mode to Ground Master Arm ON Radar Warning ON HARM Display selected left DDI TOO Mode Selected EW on Right DDI SA on Centre DDI Sensor Control Switch "Left" .... and no diamond. If I use the Keyboard (default) shortcut... no diamond. I have deleted the F18 profile and started over. Still no diamond. What am I missing? It is driving me nuts. PS: The Sensor Control Switch works just fine in AIR mode using both the Throttle controller, or the stick controller. Edited June 19, 2020 by LazyGuns

A/G Master Mode to Ground Master Arm ON Radar Warning ON HARM Display selected left DDI EW on Right DDI SA on Centre DDI You need to switch your HARM to TOO mode. This step is missing from your list (although you mentioned it in the title). I think the HARM also needs a few seconds (minutes?) to warm up when selected for the first time.

LazyGuns Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Sorry, we crossed as I did an edit on my post. TOO mode was selected on the HARM DDI
QuiGon Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Hmm, you seem to do everything correctly. Can you upload a track of your attempt to get the diamond on the HARM page? That might give some clues what's wrong.

Stubbies2003 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Okay something is wrong with your config most likely as we are matching up on everything but the switch used for the SCS. I use what would normally be the CMS switch (thumb) on the WH SSC. Every time I use HARMs it is on the left DDI as well. The only time I have ever seen it not give the diamond on the left DDI is when I am NOT in A-G master mode but am still in Nav. The HARM page looks the same AFAIK in both Nav and A-G but if in Nav it is impossible to diamond the page.
LazyGuns Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Solved. Re-mapped the SCS switch to the CMS switch, and the triangle popped into the life. Brilliant. Thanks very much for the help.

That's weird. Something must have been off on your bindings before, because that shouldn't happen. Also, I have the "castle" hat (F-16 DMS) mapped to the SCS on my stick and it always works just fine. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Agreed as another buddy of mine also uses the WH but doesn't use the CMS switch for SCS function and doesn't have an issue with it. In changing his config the OP fixed whatever was the real culprit.
