RE: Reccomend a Screen/Solution for Thrustmaster MFDs
+1. I have two 4:3 LCDs from Chinatobby for my own cockpit project. I’m using USB 3 to VGA converters to drive mine, but there are also LCD/driver board combos with HDMI and/or Display Port input.

RE: Warthog Stick - Cougar throttle
HI Icarus … I too would be interested if you could share your process for directx keyfile… and the file itself
I have warthog joustick via normal USB and cougar TQS via TUSBA though not been able to get it to function properly … used muds profile and warthog plus RO the joystick and xis keyfiel seems to have stabilised things but no TQS

RE: So excited and then so disappointed..the coaster ride that is f4 bms controller sett
Thanks to all those that took time to post a response.
coupe of followups to the comments…
1. This issue has occurred since prior to 4.32 including 4.32 and now 4.33
2. Issue is consistent across win 7, win 8 win 8.1 and now 10 both home and pro versions
3. Hardware -exotic yes one could place a point on that, however most of this kit is established and the only new exotic bespoke piece of hardware - the SLAW Device rudder pedals - have actually been the single aspect that has NOT caused any issues
4. Unplugging and plugging in hardware - At this stage I don;t believe this is an issue as the whole lot of controllers has been affected ie they all disappear - I’ve not unplugged them to replicate the issue.MAV-JP not too sure what you mean by keystroke…“did i mention i NEVER , EVER , NEVER, EVER touch the keystroke ?” are you referring to the keymapping on the controller page ?
the problem has also followed several hardware upgrades and changes consistently - Hence my belief in the fact that this is primarily and issue with the Flacon 4 BMS code base for controller handling- Motherbords, G cards sound etc have all changed since I’ve been using BMS (not that I’m saying its purely a BMS issue)-
Now I just wish that locking the axis mapping and joystick.cal files down would yield a locked in controller mapping to the hardware…but as soon as I go back to the TQS (tusba R2) entry in the falcon menue under controllers to centre the hat moustick wham all the other settings are lost even if I set the ‘main’ controller back to the hotas joystick …
is there a file I could edit externally to centre the mousstick on the TQS post setup and locking of the files ?

So excited and then so disappointed..the coaster ride that is f4 bms controller sett
ok I give up….
almost…
I’ve run 4.32 on win 7 8 8.1 and gave up with the controller settings… same issues with 4.33 now
now I thought wow 4.33 and windows 10… a fresh install DCS 1.5 running fine… time for 4.33 to have another bash… but alas For the life of me I CANNOT get consistency or for that matter anything to work correctly in BMS…
Situation
2 x MFD’s (swapped in relation to physical location - they are attached to 2 x 8" lilliput USB LCD’s) —arrrg
1 set of Thrustmaster Wathog Joy/throttle
1x cougar TQS via TUSBA R2 USB interface
1 x SLAW device Rudder pedalsall have the latest firmware updates
Windows 10 fresh install - X99 5930K 2x 980 SLI 32 GB ram
Joy /throttle MFD’s Controllers are via a usb 2.0 hub except the TQS which is direct to usb 2.0 port on Asus X99 Deluxe board
Issues…
1. BMS keeps losing controller settings… I believe this was fixed via setting permissions on the controller files 'axismapping.dat and joystick.cal. Not extensively tested but prob ok nonethe less as the 2 times I fired BMS up the setting remained the same.2. Cursor on the TQS 0 calibrated and seems to be working fine however I cannot set centre position without screwing the mappings for the axis etc in BMS -ie set thing up … RO the files axis mapping and joystick.cal.
then change controller in BMS to center the cursor —WHAM everthign is reset…LEAVE BMS … restart and the RO files seem to ‘restore’ the settings curso of course still non zeroed…
ok… re do entire mapping AGAIN!!! go to TUSBA R2 TQS to centre the cursor and back to the start where everthing is on keyboard… I’ve spent hours so far trying to get this working- no luck so in a desperate last bid to see how to salvage this I ask the community for some ideas…
I’be tried with TARGET etc no no luck either…
Anything …anything at all…
sighRegards
