TM WH & Teamspeak. Easy work around?

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Hi guys.

 

I seem to be in a bit of a catch 22 situation at the moment. I want to be able to use TS while playing online.

 

The problem is I can't bind a stick button in TS, it has to be a keyboard button. So, I need to use TARGET to emulate a keyboard press. The problem with that is, if I run the TARGET emulation software it messes up the key bindings in DCS WH :doh:

 

Any ideas?

For me, I'm not going to bother. I'll just wait until this whole TARGET mess is sorted out.

There really should be no reason to use TARGET with DCS: A-10C and the TM WH.

 

To map a HOTAS button to TeamSpeak, such as Mic Switch Up, follow the instructions to reset your throttle to allow TS mapping found in this post:

I asked in another thread, but isn't the mic switch used in-sim to choose which radio is transmitting/receiving. or would there be no conflict?

 

Thanks

Mic switch forward, back and down are used in the sim (VHF AM, VHF FM and UHF, respectively).

Mic switch up is free, and not used in the DCS: A-10C

As well as mic switch button press is also free.

The Paddle switch on the joystick is also free to use.

 

Edit: Slew button press is also free.

 

The rest is used in the sim.

the slew button is also not used, so you could also use that one.. I use the pinky-paddle

LOL I didnt know the slew control could also be pushed as a button. Tried it now and yes it does click! An extra button, THANKS!!! :megalol:

I can think about a hundred reasons myself :D

[MTFDarkEagle]

Start with number one :)

[FZG_Kes]

Being able to map additionnal keybinds to the Warthog with long / short press management, like Zoom In / Zoom Out, while keeping the defaults configuration.

Thats good enough for me! :thumbup: With this I can double the number of commands I currently have mapped on the mic switch, I have 8 now with the pinky paddle button as modifier, with TARGET I could have 16 if I understood you correctly? If so, then thats awesome :) I will install it as soon as I feel I have time to map everything again, thats one advantage with the non-TARGET DCS pre made profile, you dont have to make it yourself. But I really would like to put more stuff on the mic switch, so I will definately use TARGET! One day :music_whistling: Soon :music_whistling:

Sorry for going off topic again, but is it possible to use TARGET to program functions to one button, hat or switch only and then use the rest of the buttons via the ingame options? I could do this with my other stick, and Im thinking it probably should work the same way with TARGET. Anyone knows this?

 

That way I could map whatever I want to the mic switch with TARGET without having to make a whole new profile for the entire HOTAS.

 

Sorry again for the OT.

Ok here is a workaround.

 

Turns out switches have to be in right position for binding a key other wise it won't work. If the throttle keys have to be set correctly otherwise the warthog is in the middle of a key stroke which blocks other keys from being bound. Follow steps below.

 

Set the throttle switches like so:

Throttles (Left and Right): Out of Detent

Flap Switch: Center (MNV)

Master Light Switch: Center

EAC: Down (OFF)

RDR ALT: Down (OFF)

Autopilot select switch: Center (ALT/HDG)

APU: Down (OFF)

ENG OPER (Left and Right): Center (NORM)

FUEL Switches (Left and Right): Down (OVERRIDE)

Speedbrake switch: Center

Boat Switch: Center

 

Then try setting it in TS3.

 

 

 

 

Ooops saw it in other post sorry.
