I have 10 DX devices for BMS and use shift layers on the Cougar no problems.

2 MFD’s
4 MFP’s
Cougar stick
TUSBA throttle
2 BU0836 Interface boards one for rudder other for switches

Here are some close ups

Here is a more recent view where you can see I moved the left side panels farther apart.

I’m sorry I don’t have a CH profile for the Fighter Stick for BMS but I have done a little CH programming that can help. TARGET and CH are both powerful programming languages. I think both are sufficient to achieve anything you can dream of for BMS.

Ok I think I found what I am looking for 🙂

Brake = Left Toe Brake when you chose Right toe Brake for your differential right brakes.

Well, you should have a drop down menu to do it.

@hoover:

As a first bet you might want to assign all the axes on your pedals / joysticks and whatever to keyboard keys so you can go about assigning them to the proper controllers one by one.

Sorry I cannot provide more help as I’m a thrustmaster user.

Cheers, Uwe

Thanks. I think I know what you mean. Visited Bertchesgaden once. (Did I spell that correctly?) Beautiful place. I will return one day.

Thanks Harlequin. Will do.

Hi Fluke. Sorry to be slow in responding. Been out flying the real stuff. Thanks as always for your input. You have been very helpful. Anyway after much perusing I have ordered a new CH Fighterstick with a new CH Pro Throttle on back order. I hope it all works out.

@jack72:

OK…and how would I do this?

In the advance tab…where you set up the x and Y axis for your stick.

I responded to your pm, wish I could help out more, but I’ve been away from CH for a few years now. Last time I played BMS with CH was Aug 2012, since then I’ve had a cougar and warthog.

So my BMS DX Generator is corrupted. After I assign my buttons and go to output for my CH products HOTAS the page is blank. All other HOTAS are listed and their assignments are on the output page. Is there some place I can go to re download the KOLBE files to fix my problem without re downloading and installing the whole game? Or does anyone know EXCELL well enough to know what command is messed up for it not to transfer the setup to the output page. That is probably the simplest fix except I don’t know where to fix that command in EXCELL. Can anyone help with one of these solutions?

@Harlequin:

Oh the drama….

Everyone that posted here was trying to help you. Turning around and saying that we’re all distasteful, immature and self-righteous was a unique response on your part – slow clap. We provided you with our opinions and in turn you shit on us.

You’re welcome.

Trying to help me? Odd.

hhmm…I asked a simple question - you did not answer it. I kindly asked you to answer the question again. Your reply? “No.”
(perhaps you should read the thread again since you have forgotten here)

You want to decide what is best for me - someone you know nothing about?
By that logic, your first set of advice could have been “first buy a new computer”.

My first thought was to ignore your original response, but I didn’t actually think someone was intentionally being difficult, but perhaps did not read the OP carefully, so I asked again.
See the title of this thread?: “How do I use alt, ctrl, shift functions with CH fighterstick?” Well if you genuinely feel that refusing to answer the question of a post which asks a specific question and instead give out other advice is the proper way to behave, then I apologize for my response to you.
I never thought that someone would try to “help” that way, but I guess that could be my ignorance. Perhaps you can realize that by that same logic any time anyone asks any question on the forum, you can reply - “first buy a new computer - I’m just trying to help”.

The forum is made by its users…

(sorry, I have spent enough time on this thread. I shall move on. Say as you wish - you may have the last word if it pleases you)

For “alt” functions just type ALT
For “ctrl” functions just type CTL
For “shift” fucntions just type SHF

(Looks like you can also put a R or L in front of the function (without a space) if you need to specify Left or Right)

Then…. I dont know.

First things first : you assigned RX twice in your combined section, to FOV and to RangeKnob. Not that it matters for the rest, as you commented it out, but still 🙂

All I can tell you is that the rest should work… but thats not exactly helpful, I know 😉

Make sure you save the file before launching BMS, try to launch it without your devices plugged in, then plug them in and try again…
Try to delete the lines corresponding to your devices, then plug them in and launch, to have a “fresh” GUID for each…

Otherwise, I’m out of ideas 😞

Just tried it and it works.

Gun working now as well.

Everything I needed to use shifted controls I assigned directly into the BMS keyfile by dx.

Very handy.

Now to do that guns training tut.

I also watched Krauses tut and he notes how you can automatically look targets with your helmet hud by holding tms up I think odear.

Cool stuff.

@Deuser:

Trolling through the threads after fooling around with the CHCM and BMS setup (“fooling around” is a euphemism for getting completely and hopelessly lost), I finally came upon one that mentioned the documentation I was looking for. If you are a newbie like me, check this folder out: C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Generic\Kolbe This seems to have everything required to get started with just about any joystick.

My guess is that this is mentioned in the install guide(s) that I did not read. Oh well…

Kurt

The profile doesn’t list the BMS names when I use CH Print.

Argh.
Going through profiles by the half dozen.
Can not find any that are usable.

OK I found the key file print out.
Six pages woweee.

YEAH BITCH MAGNETS!

P.S. mouse wheel zoom not working even though it is enabled in the Falcon BMS config file and also not sure if this profile uses the keystroke or the BMS keys file.
More hair thrown on floor.

Well I fixed the throttle calibration but there is NOT a single profile on the hangar that works as the keys in BMS have been changed after the latest update.

Just getting the controls to work in this sim is a game unto itself and a bloody hard one at that !:D

I tried a chap on you tube named Burner who kindly provided a profile but the ch print program only showed the ch button names not the BMS names like DMF ,TMF etc.

Pulling hair out by the strand.

@Pinefang:

So
I can’t figure out how to set up the cursor button on the pro throttle to control the radar cursor. Can anyone help me get this done?

SimCursorUp -1 0 0XC8 4 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Up" SimCursorDown -1 0 0XD0 4 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Down" SimCursorLeft -1 0 0XCB 4 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Left" SimCursorRight -1 0 0XCD 4 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Right" SimCursorEnable -1 0 0X31 1 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Cursor Enable" SimRadarCursorZero -1 0 0XE 1 0 0 1 "TQS: RDR CURSOR - Cursor Zero"

well, if the cursor is a 4 way hat, you can set your keyfile up to use its keypresses to read these callbacks.

If the cursor button is a pair of axes instead, you can set it up in the Setup>Controllers>Advanced settings page in BMS. Sorry Im not sure which, Ive not used CH gear myself.

Yea everything works now even the shifted keys and by the way for my set up I have to hold the pinky button down for it to work the shifted keys but that is okay with me. Thanks so much for hanging with me. I hope to see you in the air some time. I’m just getting into BMS after a year in the A-10C so hopefully the learning curve will be short. Tips and tricks are always welcome. Sincerly

Hello Kolbe can you answer a quick question for me please? Is it possible to make a button on my pro throttle my modifier key instead of using the keyboard modifiers available as default modifiers? Thanks you for your time, I see the work you have put into the keylist work and really appreciate it I don’t understand any of it my self but hope to struggle through it if my question is answered in the positive.
