Super Taurus panel switches dont do anything

[e4mafia]

New. out of the box. Didn't test anything after plugging it in, just flashed the firmware. Dummy mistake I know. But the switches on the panel dont seem to do anything? They havent registered as a separate game controller device and when I look at the settings in windows for what IS there, all I see are the buttons on the handles. Those look just fine.

 

Can anybody tell me where to go from here?

...aaaaaaaaaand I'm a dummy. Didn't realize it had its own USB connector. Makes sense to do it that way. Works great now that I plugged it in. :)

Just went through my first ramp start with it. Totally awesome and makes me want to build the sim pit even more now!

My goodness, I am so glad that I found your thread here!

 

I guess it is fair to say that you are not the only dummy... I've been working on this problem for a couple weeks now, to no avail!

Oh, there are two data connections? Makes sense since they did ship me two cords...

Okay, I spoke too soon... the panel lights up real pretty when it is plugged in... but none of the switches will bind.

 

Help Please,

Can you see them in Simappro?

The WW throttle and the panel are 2 separate controllers. Be sure to choose the correct one when mapping switches in DCS control setting.

Thank you gentleman both!

 

When I get home I will see if potentially I can figure out what the heck I am doing wrong.

 

Your assistance is appreciated.

It was this!

I'm a dummy. not only are they separate controllers but......big surprise, they have different USB cables. the one that's unplugged doesn't work so well :)

[CobraKhan]

Yes, but you being a dummy clued me in to the fact that I am as well! ;)

 

And further, proving that I am really a dummy, when you get to binding the switches to game actions, the Taurus Base with all of its switches and the F-18 Throttle handle with its buttons each have separate columns in the 'Controls' table. If you highlight the cell for a particular action within the wrong column, it doesnt work!

 

I am still trying to find out why I cant get 'wheel breaks' on my rudder, but that is not Winwing.

Nevermind, glad it helped.

You can set your wheel brakes as buttons or axis. For analog rudder axis, you need to choose the axis command instead of the buttons. Click on "Axis Assign" at the bottom of the DCS control setting and look for "wheel brake left" and "wheel brake right" axis. Maybe this helps ;)
