G940 Rudder

[chirp65]

Hi all, I am totally new to the Blakshark game and am trying to be carefull.

I loaded the game via the disc, (purchased on Amazon), early this morning and I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions but at the moment I just have 2:

I have the G940 Logitech system and I am pretty familiar with helicopters in a Sim environment. I have been playing the MSFSX for about 6 months and the G940 is the latest addition, (and 2 weeks ago).

 

I am still only at the "Controls" set up option and have been reading the manual carefully. I have not got the throttles, (left and right), to be identified in the section regarding the control settings, (ka-50 Real).

 

What I mean is that when I move the throttle forward or back as one control the system seems to want to ID it as a Joystick move. I also tried moving them independently, (left and right throttle), the ID jumps to an 'joyx' and 'joyy' in any of the throttle's configuration.

 

I expected that it would ID the throttles in the "Collective" category and because I am still not knowledgeable enough to try the game out and see what happens, I thought maybe someone could clarify this for me a little. (Particularly someone who may also have a G940). Anybody want to try?

 

The 2nd question is about any updates that I should load. As best as I can determine, the version of DCS Blackshark I presently have is version 1.0. Is there a newer one?

 

And finally, please excuse me if I've listed these questions in the wrong place or have overlooked some post that refers to these 2 questions. I've been at this all day, (with many interruptions), and am a little tired. So I thought I'd hang it up for the rest of the day with this post and see if things start to come together in the morning. Thanks
