DCS World TARGET profile for TM Cougar and Warthog + MFDs

Quote

 

Yes I did define BTN30, BTN31 and BTN32 as modifiers in the F16 settings in DCS. 

Some of the buttons do create keyboard events, however I went to check in DCS what is expected for the Canopy open/Close to be pressed.

It has the LCRL-C+ BTN30 bound to it. When I test the keyboard events, I see no events when holding down Btn30 and pressing the NWS button.

I also don't get an event when pressing the trigger to the first detent... On the other hand the hats are giving keyboard events.

 

This is interesting (not in a good way).  TG1 should return DX1, and S3+S5 (NWS) should generate LCTL+C (with DX30).

What is normal is that Hats 3 and 4 do map to keyboard combinations.  Hat 1 should map to mouse based on the VR selection you have, and TMS should map to DX7-10.

The logfile says that you're using a Warthog stick with a Cougar throttle.  Have you tried this with your Cougar stick, and not the warthog?

HI Home Fries,

My warthog stick is actually the warthog magnetic base with the cougar stick mounted to it. My cougar’s stick pots died. As I was unable to find replacements pots for it here locally, I decided to go with the warthog magnetic base and recuperate the cougar stick that way. I mounted the electronics from the cougar in a smalle box which allows me to continue using the cougar’s TQS throttle. Do even though the cougar Hotas is recognized, only the throttle is actually present.

I know the pots are dead, but could you please try reattaching the cougar stick to the cougar base and running the profile with WarthogStick = 0?  This will at least eliminate a variable, as your configuration is not one I can truly support.

If the buttons work on the Cougar base, then at least we know it's the Warthog base/Cougar stick that is likely the issue.

I would love to try that but unfortunately that's not possible anymore as the electronics have been removed from the cougar's joystick base and integrated into the playseat to allow the TQS to work. Using the Warthog base with the cougar stick basically makes it a Warthog stick, it's recognized as that as well. When I use DCS in "standard" configuration, the buttons on my stick are auto-configured as the should be. Do you think there could be a setting in Target itself that might be wrong?

Could be.  Please post your dcs_world.tmc file so I can review it.

TARGET natively only recognizes two MFDs.  However, MFD3 will be recognized as a controller separate from the TARGET profile.  Fortuitously, I have also created diff.lua files for a 3rd MFD for quite a few profiles in CTS, the Hornet being one of them.

 

I think it's high time I check out your script, buddy!

@DaveMoi

I tested your configuration with both the Warthog stick/TQS throttle as well as my cougar stick on the WH base.  Everything checked out.

There is one exception that you should know regarding VR: since you use VR, the NWS button (S1) defaults to VR Zoom.  S3+S1 does the NWS functionality for VR users.  There is no canopy cycle mapping for VR.

Everyone,

The server should be back up.  Please post if you still have any update issues.

@Home Fries

Now I feel silly  I always started with the "dark and cold" instant mission and tested the Canopy and trigger zoom to see if the script was working. 

Really sorry to waste your time, I somehow missed the fact that those two mappings are not available in VR.

Thank you very much for your help, I will "dive in" again and manually map the canopy toggle to one of the buttons on my trackball...

Oh the other thing is that TriggerZoom is disabled while the logical gear state is down.  This is to prevent inadvertent zooming while on final.

Hi All,

I have a question about the CTS profile for AV-8B.  I just updated to the new version of CTS (including loading the latest AB8B .lua's).  The Sensor Select Switch (SSS) commands changed in the DCS control profiler changed to LWin+U/I/J/Y.  But actuating the SSS on the stick doesn't seem to work for the LWin-modified commands.

Looking at the device analyzer, pressing the SSS on the stick sends commands modified with "LMENU" (except left, which still sends a LShift Y).  What keyboard key corresponds to "LMENU"?  I can't find it on the Target Configurator virtual keyboard for assignment.

Is there any way to modify the CTS script that is loaded into the Target configurator, or is that too far in the weeds?

Thank you for your help!  CTS is amazing!

With exception of SSw Left (which as you indicated uses LShift+Y), all SSw directions should use LAlt, not LWIN.  I remapped from LWIN even before DCS 1.5.8.  I also confirmed that the TARGET AV8B kb v253N.diff.lua and TARGET AV8B kb v253R.diff.lua files are correct.  Be sure you add the keyboard diff.luas as well as the one for the HOTAS.

If you're getting LMENU instead of LAlt, that might be something else entirely, but the code is correct.

That's in the weeds, especially with Hat3 that calls a subroutine.  Just. Don't. Go. There.

I wanted to try playing around with your profiles but I got none of this to work, followed every single step correctly to install but when I launch the script it works 1 out of 3 times for some reason, device analyser would crash because of fast service, joystick and throttle axis randomly "hang". I mean this is just the worst, I don't know if it's something I changed in the options that messed it up but I double checked, switched usb ports all morning I can't see anything wrong?

Worth checking that all the power management bullshit windows does with USB's is turned off I had a right old wild goose chase figuring out a similar issue when I updated CTS not long ago.  Check the power plan for USB selective suspend is off and then ensure you untick the same under properties for each device in device manager for all your USB HIDs and Thrustmaster Virtual Controllers.  Fast service can be troublesome if you use things like MSI Dragon Centre to clear out RAM usage.

CTS is awesome, its the single most useful tool for my Thrustmaster gear, much better than doing it from scratch, stick with it, its worth reading all of the manual too, lots of tips in there!

@angrymancunianyeah I read all the manuals both from thrustmaster and CTS, I'm sure it's good stuff as on the paper it had everything I needed especially if I can customize some bindings. I got a simple setup, just a TM Warthog but the combined device was just acting strange with no joystick input. I guess it's a target issue cause it works all fine otherwise but I'll check the usb stuff even tho I'm sure I disabled all the saving crap.

Hey, just a quick one: does the number of enabled profiles in CTS actually matter for the risk of hitting the stack limit? In other words, can I safely enable 10 modules even if I only use a couple of them most of the times?

Doubtful.  I have reduced stack usage by commenting out obsolete routines, so that leads me to believe that it's the code available, and not the code in use.

Ok, I'll build my profile only for the modules I'm actually using then.

Are you getting stack issues?  In general, I don't recommend commenting things out because I often share routines across modules.  Unless of course you just mean selecting modules that you have in the GUI, which is what is intended all along.

No, I'm not experiencing any issue right now, but I wanted to play on the safer side. Yes, I'm talking about selecting them in the CTS main menu... Maybe a neat idea would be to implement some sort of "customizable sets" in the UI in order to have a quick selection of the profiles in different scenarios... but I don't know how many people would use that

There is really nothing wrong with selecting every module, even if you don't have every module.  This is mainly a convenience feature to filter the database options and profile selection to make things easier.

I don't see any point in having sets; if you have the module, select the module.

But then you don't you have an higher risk in incurring in stack limits? Perhaps I misinterpreted your answer?

No.  The code is read into the stack regardless of whether the module is enabled.

Ok, so I totally misunderstood your first answer  Thank you!
