TM Warthog diagnostic program?

[RSharpe]

I just received my TM Warthog HOTAS in the mail and I set it up tonight so I'm new to this.

 

I was wondering if there's a diagnostic program somewhere so you can test the functionality of all of the buttons and switches outside of the actual game.

 

The manual that it came with actually contains very little information.

 

Thanks.

Yes. If you're mostly playing DCS A-10C and just want to see functionality, you can use Windows' control panel / game controllers.

 

If you're playing other stuff and also want to be able to program for them, You can download TARGET from TM's site....

It has a "device analyzer" along with it. If you also have a Cougar, you can get Foxy's analyzers to work with it. The software wasn't ready yet. Still isn't "release"...it's "release candidate" but pretty good.

 

I'd suggest also updating the firmware regardless of whether you want to use TARGET or not. There's been some people who have had their Warthog firmware get corrupted.

 

The firmware stuff is:

Thanks for the reply. I'll check all of that stuff out tomorrow. I tried using Windows 7 controller, but I wasn't about to access the HOTAS as I normally can other gaming devices. I'll check again to see if it might be buried somewhere else.
