montebello Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 My NEW thrustmaster 1600m is not working correctly. That is, the SLEW control is not working correctly. The X-Axis is fine, but the Y-axis is totally erratic, rendering the slew control useless. I adjusted settings,, I downloaded latest software. I did everything I know but I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Is there any way to use my mouse for SLEWING instead of my mini-stick? I tried doing that in the settings, but it won't let me configure the mouse for this purpose. PS: Yes, I will try to get a replacement from thrustmaster but I hate to stop using DCS while waiting!
montebello Posted August 27, 2023 Author Posted August 27, 2023 Wondering if I've done something wrong. Is anyone seeing this post?

If you search the forum you should find it, or just compare the original Lua files between joystick/keyboard and the mouse.As for your TWCS, I've heard people squirting a little WD40 in it that might help.Cheers!

montebello Posted August 28, 2023 Author Posted August 28, 2023 Thank you MAXsenna. I'll try the WD 40, but the Lua files, etc. is over my head I'm afraid. Thanks again. BTW, is there any way for me to get these messages sent to my email instead of me having to come onto the forum? Thanks
