Thrustmastrer Warthog Newbie Profile Questions

[mac22]

Just started using the warthog with DCS world (mainly A10, P51 and FC3)

As I am new to the stick have been using some posted profiles for the different games.....need someone to help explain how to use them..

1)Got some lua based profiles for p51 which I just go into the p51 options page and load up the x2 lua files (one when I am right clicked on the stick page and one when I have highlighted the throttle page) - seems to work well......but do I need to load anything for the keyboard or is there a default one that comes with the game that I can just revert back to(I am may have accidently changes some of the binding)

2)Got a number of profiles for A10 but they all seem to be Target based - so have been dropping the .fcf file into target then loading it up within target - then entering the dcs world - what do I need to do with the throttle and stick pages in the option section of DCS world for these A10 profiles (note I already have the profile loaded in target running in the background) - note I may have messed around with some of the default settings in the a10 options page - do i need to role back the bindings to default to get the target profile to work?if yes where do i find these default profiles?

3)Interestingly one of the target profiles for a10 also came with a single

.lua file (but it was a "combined" one - not one .fc file for throttle and one for stick which i am use to - how should I use this "combined" file (load same file for both throttle and then stick?)

4)Does anyone happen to have a lua based profile for either A10 ot FC3/FC2 - I find the lua profiles much easier to use! - please post if you have come across one......

5)Finally i sometimes use track IR and sometimes dont - how do I need to alter these profiles to take this into account (I presume map the black hat switch on the stick to pan view - also what buttons are most people using for zoom and rudders (i dont have seperate rudder pedals yet)

Any help is much appreciated! as I am really struggling to use this stick properly.......

As I am also new to the stick but I managed it without TARGET Software.

 

A10

It was an easy task because it was directly mapped one to one and there was no problem. Even your track IR would not be an issue with the standard setting. On the Stick the top right coolie is used for trimming. But in the default setting there it is used only with strg + command. So it is free for viewing options.

 

P51D

I did not really configure it properly but I would say same as FC3 (see below)

 

FC3

There are very few commands which you have to implement in your settings and I would say, that you do that also manually. I would refer to the A10C Profile but not load it into FC3.

 

For any further questions I am sure there will be lots of people here to help you with it.

manuel - thanks for the reply but your not really answering my questions....

basically I want to understand how to use (step by step) the FC3/F15C target profile I have - i can run target but I want to know in the in game (DCS world) options section 1) do I need to run any .lua files to get this target profile to work? - or should I just revert them all in the options screen to default (I think there is a button to do this) while running target in the background?

2)For A10 I think you are trying to say that I dont need to run target and I just move all the in game options to default profile .lua file?

3)Dont really understand how these .lua files work - I thought u needed to load up one for stick one for throttle - but I have seen one single .lua file called combined attached to some of the .fcf download packages - how does this work?
