TM 16000 HOTAS settings.

[Thinder]

Post anything you want on the subject, suggestions experiences etc.

 

 

I'm trying to sort my Throttle and stick binding and it doesn't look as user friendly as is the Mirage 2000. I'll keep trying.

 

 

 

Thanks!

I have this setup, and it works great for the F-16C. I just rma'd an X-56 because of the inferior stick (nice throttle). It came with a slight imbalance, and there was no calibration software to recenter it. I had to put a huge dead zone in it to get autopilot to work.

 

 

The T.16000M is a great stick. I use the recommended axis tunage from the manual and everything works great. I have not found a useful function for the paddle on the thottle. I have it set to man range knob now, but I have not tested it yet.

 

 

I loosened the tension on the throttle before I mounted it to the desk. I hear loose is better for formation and refueling, but again I have not tested these yet.

The Throttle feels definitively right and tention setting is a nice touch, here is my setting for the Mirage 2000C:

 

 

1] Nosewheel steering/IFF Interrogate.

 

2] Decoy Program Release.

 

3] Jammer ON.

 

4] Airbrake TOGGLE. (UP).

 

5] Wheel Brakes.

 

6] TDC Depress (Lock Target).

 

6] 4 Axis TDC.

 

POV Hat: I use only two functions at the moment: TOGGLE VR Zoom (forward), and recenter VR Headset (backward).

I Figured the last one allows me to change seating position by leaning forward or backward

 

7] CNM neutral PCA select.

 

8] Weapons systemCMD FWS.

 

9] Weapons systemCMD Depress.

 

10] Weapons system CMD AFT.

 

11] Radar Target Data Manual Entry Ends.

 

12] Radar Range INCREASE.

 

13] STT/TWS Toggle.

 

14] Radar range DECREASE.

 

Rocker Axis: Rudder/Front wheel when 1] selected.

 

No function yet for the Antena Axis...

 

Those settings works really well for me, I might add a couple of functions to the POV such as Magic Slave and Magic Unlock.

 

I try to replicate most of those function for my other Aircraft, starting with the F-15C, so far, the Mirage 2000C is the only one near completion of the HOTAS settings, it took me time to find which suited me best.

 

8 axis are too many for me, I get confused and I find the selection of this hat a little imprecise for functions, so I stick to 4 since I don't need PoV.

 

I have issues with the stick, too stiff for me, I keep toppling it over, I disabled the rudder function and haven't set more than 9 buttons on it including the slider that I use for Drag Chute.

 

I think that I'm gonna set Voice Attack rather than trying to play some of those function blindfolded (I can't see keyboard stick and rudder in VR).

 

In the future I will keep the throttle and get a Thrustmaster HOTAS Magnetic Base and F/A-18C Hornet™ HOTAS Add-On Grip, Thrustmaster support already confirmed that they are fully compatible.

I tried to setup mine as close to real HOTAS as possible.

I understand thew reasoning behind that, if it works for you, it's all good.

 

I personally prefer set ups I can easily memorize and use instinctively.
