Can we play DCS F18C with HOTAS Warthog?

[jp203000]

HOTAS Warthog lacks at least one Axis ( two to be exact) , so when the F18C comes to us someday ,how can we handle the Radar Antenna and Rang nobe?:helpsmilie:Don't tell me there'll be HOTAS hornet!

so when the F18C comes to us someday

It's more "If" than "When" to be honest

Use a modifier, Mic switch up, press and paddle switch spring to mind.

This is F15's throttle which is much like A10's but with a rotation axis on it .

Sorry? Don't understand. I don't own the TMWH.

You can use the friction slider or one of the excess hats.

Yes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used it for BMS. :P;)

Actually, it will be the HOTAS Bug!;)

[dooom]

how do you assign the friction wheel? it is the only input of my TM not available in the in game key mapper - do you use target for this?

 

Honestly, I still have yet to figure out why i should ever need to use target at all.. all sims i fly have a clickable 3d pit with the exception of FC2 but FC2 does not require that kind of depth in key binds..

I think HOTAS Rhino would sound better :)

no. it is just another Axis available you assign it just like any other analog axis.

 

and just to make sure we on same page, we talking about the slider to the right of the throttle handles (where the friction is dialed in on the real thing) and not the wheel (fictional) that is used to dial friction of the TMWH itself :)

I use Target to add things like view control or other non-cockpit functions as layered functions around my basic mapping. Some things are just easier with Target than in game options allow for.

Gosh you're right, what a dilemma! :megalol: As an aside... I hope you never have to operate the Rang Nobe. Sounds awful.

I use mic switch for that in BMS. fwd/back-range, up down-antena elevation. Makes perfect sense. Push will be a modifier, like in every other game.

Try operating a WWI aircraft with all those extra buttons in your way!:D
