P-51 Joystick setup for A-10 Hotas?

[Jimmytime]

Does anyone have a good configuration for the Thrustmaster A-10 HOTAS joystick they would like to share?

[Dominoes]

My working setup:

 

Right throttle: throttle

Left throttle: RPM/prop pitch

 

Trigger/weapon pickle: guns/bombs

Trim switch: Elevator/aileron trim

DMS left/right: rudder trim

TMS up/down: flaps up/down

 

Autopilot throttle button: Gear

Coolie hat left/right: increase/decrease target size (gunsight)

Coolie hat up/down: increase/decrease target range (gunsight)

 

I'm curious what others are using.

Im trying the following setup:

 

Throttle

1. Slider = Cockpit Zoom

2. FLAPS = Flaps, uses incrimental settings, eg down once moves flap in 10 degree settings -- i think

3. COOLIE HAT

POV - Left = Knee board Next Page

Down = Knee board On/Off

Right = Knee board Prev Page

UP = Knee board Glance

4. Left Throttle Button = Position Mark Point on Knee Board Map

5. Speed Brake Switch = Open / Close Canopy

6. L/G Warning Silence Button = Gear Up / Down

 

JOYSTICK

 

1. TRIM SWITCH = Trim Nose Down = Trim Elevators Down

" " Up = " " UP

Trim LWD = Trim Rudder Left

Trim RWD = Trim Rudder right

 

2. Nosewheel Steering Button = Reset Trim

 

These seem to work well, so if anyone can pick holes in them please do. Find attached the profiles

Anyone know how to bind switches like they are done in DCS A10 (without target software)? Has it got something to do with lua files?

 

(total noob @ lua stuff)

Yes. You go into the sim and go to Options>Controls and assign the buttons and switches how you wish. That will create the lua files (no lua stuff needed).

Well, my problem is that now that I have upgraded to Win7(64bit) system does not see the TM-Hotas...I've tried all sorts of posted suggestions...this will be a slight project....:doh:

But how do you assign a switch to be in "switched off" mode?

 

AFAIK it doesnt register an input when switching to off. Am i doing something wrong?

Ill have to look into this when i get home.
