acino Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) [iNTRODUCTION] This is my TM Warthog profile that further extends upon PhoenixBvo's profile. Several new features are introduced. Also, I do not own TIR or rudder pedals, and the profile was altered to reflect on this, albeit without imposing penalty on the primary function of the HOTAS. Some of the interesting features are switching between two sensitivity modes, mouse function on the throttle etc. [FEATURES] [] New features introduced in this release - Mastermode button in conjunction with pinky paddle switches between two sensitivity (for both the stick and throttle) modes - normal and A-A refuel, as indicated by LED control (see below). - The trim hat is used for panning around the cockpit when used with the stick's pinky paddle. - The ministick used for cursor slewing can now be used as a mouse cursor when used together with the stick's pinky paddle. At the same time, 1st stage gun trigger is used as a left mouse button when used with the pinky paddle. Originally, pressing the ministick was used for this purpose, but due to the minor movements causing trouble while pressing it, this has been abandoned. - The slider on the base of the throttle acts as a rudder when pressed with the stick's pinky paddle. - Speedbrake aft button _click_, when used with the pinky paddle, now opens the speedbrakes to ~40 % as recommended during the final approach. - The backlighting of the throttle base is now deactivated when both throttles are off. It activates upon placing at least one of the throttles into the IDLE position. - The five LED controls now designate the following: - LED1 - ON while A-A refuel mode is active - LED2 - ON when APU is in the START position - LED3 - ON when the flaps are NOT in the up position - LED4 - ON when speedbrakes are active - LED5 - ON when the external lights are not off [] Features adopted from the original profile - Weapon release button now acts as nightvision toggle when pressed with stick's pinky paddle. - The slider on throttle base acts as zoom/unzoom. - Horn silence button now acts as a gear toggle. - MIC switch acts as push-to-talk button for TeamSpeak. - Left throttle button acts as TrackIRPause and TrackIRReset, without and with stick's pinky paddle, respectively. - 15 degree twist of the stick's axes can be activated (see the script file) to reproduce the real-life configuration [iNSTALLATION]1. Unpack the .zip file 2. Go to C:\Users\<User Name>\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\Input\A-10C\keyboard and replace the keyboard.lua with the file from this .zip file. 3. Go to C:\Users\<User Name>\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\Input\A-10C\joystick directory and replace the "Thrustmaster Combined {insert your controller ID here}.lua" with the file from this .zip file. Make sure you copy your controller ID into the new file's name!! 4. Place the .tmc and .ttm files anywhere, but in a same directory. 5. Open and run the .tmc file in the TARGET Script software prior to running DCS World. NOTE: The above directory paths are applicable in Windows 7/Vista. [ACKNOWLEDGMENT] PhoenixBvo is greatly acknowledged for providing his profile and kindly granting his permission to release this modified version to the public. P.S. I am not sure if this is the correct subforum, but I could not find one listing device profiles. Edit: Fixed a bug with IDLE Throttle, new version up.

Britchot Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) This might be a better location, though the profile seems specific to the A-10C so I don't have any heartburn that it's here. http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=189 I just got a TM Warthog yesterday and I think I may look into your profile, for certain. I especially like the original use of the throttle pinkie switch and your LED assignments.
