Sr. Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 My Brother uses the TMWH HOTAS, mapped to DCS defaults. I have been training him on the A-10CII, and he seems to have the hardest time with his DMS hat presses. He swears up and down that he is pressing DMS left (to turn HMCS off/on), or DMS right to cycle through profiles, but he mostly gets DMS up or down. Are the THWH hats switches 4 or 8 way? If so, is the a way to configure them to be 4 way only?

Sr. Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Seems his issue is, it sounds like the switch/button itself may not be installed correctly. Says instead of getting responses at 12/3/6/9 o'clock, they are closer to 2/5/8/11 pressing 3 or 9 left/right ... nothing Ryzen 7 5800X3D | 64GB DDR4 3600| MSI RTX 4080 16GB Ventus 3X OC | Samsung 970 Evo 2TB NVME | HP Reverb G2 | DIY Head Tracker Cap | Logitech X-56 throttle | VKB NXT Premium | Win 11 "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not in the expected area of the button when pressed.

Lange_666 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Red points are the area's to be pressed. So 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. Otherwise you press 2 buttons at the same time. Check the event tester. Edited January 24, 2021 by Lange_666 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.
