Profiles for Thrustmaster FA/18 stick

[Petercove]

Hi,

I am very slowly coming up to speed on the FA/18 and A10C Warthog. I recently invested in the Thrustmaster FA/18 stick and really like it. However it is of course lacking one 4 position hat switch compared to the A10C stick. I would be keen to see how others have mapped their TM Warthog with the new stick. I am up to learning the TPOD in the FA/18 so there is a bunch of inputs I would like to include in my HOTAS set up. Some stuff is relatively easy using the OSBs but I wonder what works best.

Using search here is tricky as typing in "FA/18 stick" brings up very aircraft in DCS

Much obliged,

 

Peter

Not using the TM Hornet grip anymore, but i had it mapped like it is in the real thing. Except for the thumbwheel of course, wich was used for radar antenna elevation up/down and center view.

 

Cheers

I have the f/A-18 stick and also use the real-life mappings and nothing else. I mean, that's why you bought it, right, to have a stick just like the real plane?

 

 

Sensor Select is used for the TPOD. Radar elevation and raid/fov and TDC cursor are all available on the throttle in the real thing, so I suggest mapping those buttons to your throttle.

Same here, except I use the little selector/button wheel thingy (below the sensor control switch) for carrier ball call.

Thanks a lot. It all helps. Now back to that TPOD. :-)
