HotTom Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 depending on the stick you have you can use the Stick's profiling software or map the controls directly in the game (look for "HOTAS" in the controls list). I have an X-65 with lots of HATS so i mapped them directly in the game... My buddy had an X-45 and he mapped all of the HATS in the game too but used modifiers to make some of the HATS have 2 different functions depending whether they were shifted (modified) or not. If you have a TM WartHog you are already good to go. I tried to map my HATS as close to the real stick as possible... getting a layout of the HOTAS setup in the sim will help... look in the forums. There should be some here. they will help you design your own setup. My post above stated I have a G940, which, I believe, is what Red Baron used in creating the setup in your OP.. So, I should map all this using the HOTAS controls? Or am I better off just tossing a prefab G940 profile in the Logitech Profiler (and, if so, which do you recommend?)? Thx again Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyd123 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 oops... ya thats right, your on a 940. I would try out Red baron's profile first and see how you like it I bet its very good... Im not sure but I would imagine there are several premade layouts in the forums for you to try. After some time in the sim you will more than likely make your own custom profile suited to how you want the HOTAS to be. I found it very easy to map the controls in the sim... takes me maybe 20 minutes. I also feel it may be a tiny bit more responsive directly mapping controls in the sim instead of in the profile... just a guess. i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx again You might have solved your problem but, I personally recommend not using Logitech Profiler. Also be careful about Win 7's seeing G940 as 3 seperate controllers. Which means you have to assign relevant commands to the relevant controller also in the game. At the end you'll have 3 different lua files for every controller (Joystick, Throttle, Pedals) Currently I 'm using 90% of Red Baron's profile, some changes are needed but all TMS, DMS, China Hat and Boat Switch functionalities are in place. If you'd like to tweak a bit, links are below. It may be used as a starting point.

HotTom Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Cashman. I've been gone all weekend and will get at A-10C tomorrow (Monday). Right now, how to set up the controls has me totally baffled. Yes, I would like to avoid the Logitech profiler as I have found it troublesome in othersims. I'll try your suggestions. I assume they just go in the lua file of the sim itself. Edited April 11, 2011 by HotTom Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit!

In fact close the profiler software when you are playing DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolasindar Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Good job :thumbup:, but lack CMS, Pinky, TG1/2, S4, S2, S1, and others.

eddiejb Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I took this (great) idea and expanded it a bit (added CMS & Pinky)... The first file is a single page showing switch commands and the second file is a two page which also shows the locations on stick and throttle.
