rafale_lascar Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Hi, is the dual throttle and joystick HOTAS is fully "plug and play" with DCS ? Or do I need to program / set anything else with the Target GUI ? What is it for this software ? Thank you. N
orcus Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I don’t use any software at all just plug and play
rafale_lascar Posted February 11, 2022 Author Posted February 11, 2022 okay. I knwo that I will have to work to memorize every functions but was a little bit scared with the target script gui manual
orcus Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) It won’t take long to memorise what you need mate the only problem I have is remembering each layout for chopper, ww2 warbirds and modern jets lol but I do like my warthog great bit of kit and very easy to setup Edited February 11, 2022 by orcus

I knwo that I will have to work to memorize every functions but was a little bit scared with the target script gui manual TARGET GUI is very easy to use, SCRIPT is another animal entirely. GUI gives you an IN/OUT function on the stick, usually S3, it gives you UP/MIDDLE/DOWN layers on the throttle. I don't use the GUI in DCS, I use the SCRIPT developed by Sedenion, and turn it on with the script function. I get 89 DX buttons to assign to a DCS function, with TEMPO short/Long presses. Invest some time learning how to use it and you will be happy you did. Sempre Fortis
Wile E. Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 I just got the Warthog HOTAS last week and started using it on Sunday with the A-10C II. I highly recommend the ralfidude YouTube series on the A-10C. Every time he'd say something I didn't understand, like TAD or DMS, I'd look it up and type it into my alphabetized glossary, with a definition I remember (e.g. TAD is the map window on the left, and DMS is the right switch on the stick for T-pod zoom and weapon selection). I also printed out the pdfs in this post. DCS recognized the stick and throttle and assigned all the functions for me. I'd still recommend tuning the axes to your liking. Also, the HOTAS lacks a rudder and brakes, so you'll likely need pedals. I bought the Logitech PRO pedals and think they're very good for the money. And I'm still using the keyboard for some stuff, like gear up/down, the rearm window, pause, and other game controls. 1
