sobe Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I tried using the WH red button on the throttle as an axis to control the TDC for the F18 radar and found it very hard to control so I went to buttons on the throttle and it is much better. Has anyone tried the WH red button as an axis to control the TDC and if so, did you use axis tuning to change any of the standard settings? What do you suggest?

98abaile Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I don't understand. The only red controls on the WH throttle are the china hat and the autopilot button, neither of which function as axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranma13 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think he means the coolie switch, which is a hat switch in DirectX. If you bring it up in the USB game controllers dialog, moving it around shows a red arrow, which could be what he means by the 'red button'.

sobe Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 My mistake. I assumed incorrectly that the nipple ball on the throttle was red. It is in fact a black nipple. However, notwithstanding its color, when I assigned it as an x and y axis for the TDC, it was very hard to control the the TDC on the radar scope. If anyone is using the black nipple as the TDC controller, what are your changes, if any, in axis tuning?

If anyone is using the black nipple as the TDC controller, what are your changes, if any, in axis tuning?I use the nipple to control the TDC and basically, I have the y saturation turned down to 35 or so, the x saturation turned to 0 so that it acts like a button and I have a deadzone of about 15 set on both axes and it works out pretty well for me.

dburne Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The Warthog slew control is known for this type of issue, it is not the greatest in use.

sobe Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 I tried using the axis tuning for the TDC, but it still seems that using the POV buttons next to the black nipple produces the most control over the TDC cursor.

Quekel Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Try the following tune settings Deadzone 10 Saturation X 100 Saturation Y 60 Curvature 15 These work great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Quekel That seems to work pretty good. The only thing that I did was invert the y axis.
