Stick mapping for the TM F/A-18 Hornet stick add-on + WH throttles?


Notso

Recommended Posts

I apologize in advance if this is already addressed somewhere, but does anyone have any advice on the best ways to map the new Thrustmaster F-18 Hornet stick with the TM Warthog throttles.

 

I love the new stick and I've mapped it to mirror the NATOPS manual as best I can. But some of the features are not clear depending on the mode. Also given the throttle is not the same as the actual Hornet throttle - there are always compromises on where to map buttons.

 

For instance - what does the Sensor control Switch DEPRESS do? Where would be the best place to map the laser fire button? Or commanding point and area tracks?

 

Does anyone have any good ideas or can point me to links where this is already addressed? I've searched but not come up with anything yet. TIA.

Have you checked Chuck’s guide?

 

Yes. And unless something changed recently - I don't see any reference to the new F-18 TM stick. Only the original TM Warthog set of stick and throttles.

I'd invite you to take a look at the manual, it says the names and functions of the different stick buttons and you'll be able to directly relate them to the physical stick.

You can find it at C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Doc\ (this is a genetic path, but you get the idea)

Yeah I typically use Chuck's Guides to set up my stick and throttle for a module.

Whilst I have a different stick I try and get the layout as close as I can to how he has it referenced in the guide.

Seems to work fairly well for me.
