I use those buttons for much more mundane tasks: I also use the paddle as shift, the comm press switch unshifted to toggle the visor and shifted to toggle the NVGs. The antenna elevation knob press, I use it to toggle the pilot model.

Hi everyone
Im looking for a good and working profile. but im not have a trackIR so i need that the hat of the trim will be the view button and the slider on the throttle or one of the other buttons will be the zoom in\out someone can help please?

Update!
I was able to solve my “button 18 displacement” with this calibration procedure - thousand thanks to @benco!

Took me a couple of tries.
But I figured out that at the start of the calibration you probably need to keep button 5 pressed WHILE pluggin in.
Or simply keep pressing button 5 for longer than 3 seconds.

Either way, I am relieved and happy 😁
Thanks again mate!!!

Solved the problem! 🕵 😎 😇

Thanks to @benco in his post Viper TQS Calibration procedure

I was able to fix the DX 18 spot with the calibration after a couple of tries.
The magic trick to get the calibration to work is -

either to keep button 5 pressed WHILE pluggin in or simply press button 5 longer than 3 seconds.

Either way, you get no visible feedback that the calibration is in process, so you always have to guess and try.

See you in the sky, folks 😁

@Maverick996 Can you show a picture of your Version like i did… ?

@airtex2019 - I do this for my Trim hat…the modifier (CMS->dwn, for my Warthog stick) swaps the hat between POV and Trim.

One of the things I love about the WH stick is being able to use CMS->dwn as a modifier and not interfere with any of the base F-16 HOTAS buttons, since CMS->dwn isn’t a Viper HOTAS switch.

Hi have the same problem, as i said in an other post, i had to install a new ssd where i have configured windows 10. So in my last ssd i had not any iusses following video procedure, but now bms can’t find the relase for the idle position

@robmypro

its realy easy and don’t overlook the Tool too 😊

@Snake122
You and Quasi Stellar were both right! When I first set up the WinWing ICP, I must have assigned the HMCS to the Cont dial.

Thank you!

@scubapics
Pretty incredible! I’ll be waiting to see how it works for you.
Thanks for the pictures and link.
Exciting times ahead!

@Tomcattwo I now understand how to use the shift dx key. Thanks!

@airtex2019
Thanks airtex. I tried the calibration again, and everything works now. I think I was pressing the com switch too long, instead of just 3 seconds to start eh calibration procedure.

@windnc60 - Confessions of an oops, did i not save it, and then i noticed it gave me the BMS-Auto key file instead of my Tweeked key file.

Thank you all who replied, we now have Zoom on the Throttle.

Resolved!

@Carbide

Hi! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me in this matter.
I fixed my issue. Launcher incorrect axis assignment was root cause of my issue.
I thought Launcher detects my devices automatically and assign them correct.
I expected too much I think.
I got some knowledge from your link, it did not fix my issue though.

@jcook ,
And for AAR when closing to contact position and when in contact, keep a very close eye on the director lights and your relative position to the tanker. As mentioned above, tiny, tiny tweaks on the throttle to keep or return to “Green&Green”. The jet does not respond instantaneously to changes in thrust. I am almost never below 299 or above 301 knots under the tanker ( unless I really dorked up the approach).

You’ll really never find a “set it and forget it” throttle setting during AAR ‐ your jet is taking on thousands of pounds of fuel, very quickly. Unless compensated for, that will add weight and necessitate a change in thrust and/or pitch (tiny though they might be) in order to maintain contact with the tanker.

Keep practicing! I really enjoy tanking in BMS using the Viper TQS. Sooo much smoother than my old Cougar throttle with electrical pots…And in VR, the experience is even better (and IMHO) easier than in non-VR. YMMV. Practice often and you will become consistenty better. Easy does it on the stick and throttle. Tiny, tiny tweaks and watch the lights…

Then for a REAL challenge, get in an FA-18 and try basket refueling…
Regards,

When I try it I get an error message. I do it manually.
