Hi,
Apologies for the inevitable "have you read blah blah " no i haven’t I work full time (yeah all the fkn time) I have kids (yeah i fkd up) I am married (read last shit) and i am tired very fkn tired. So give a dude a break. Just once.
So has anyone got the warthog hotas working with 4.33? As much as i try in the config I can’t get anything to work together.
Can anyone help?
Please?

Morphine’s profile and Mud’s profile are both excellent. Head over to the threads and check out the bindings to see which profile fits you best.

I feel you, I have major time crunch as well. The best thing to do is learn to skim and zero in on the item you need.
I dont have the Warthog but, yes It should work. Are you using the excel tool BMS Key File Editor or you using the in game falcon/setup/controllers UI?

Works like a charm for me. Just used mud’s file + my own keyfile. Copy pasted out of 4.32. No issues

The profile’s I linked are great profile’s. I’ve been using Morphine’s since I started flying BMS.
Both threads are really active and the profiles have continuing support from both the Authors and the community.
If you need any help; everyone is really responsive.
Where the Warthog is concerned, it is so much easier to use one of these profiles rather than learn the Target scripting engine yourself. It is far superior than just setting BMS Keyfile bindings without using a script.

With the new changes to the keyfile in 4.33 many new things are possible, if you have the time or motivation to learn it. In your installation folder documents there are PDF files documenting the changes, BMS Key File Manual, BMS Callback Updates, etc…
I use Morphine’s script as my base and continue to explore the new bindings and callbacks and edit the script here and there and experiment.
If you are short on time and desire a profile which makes good use of the Warthog’s capabilities, then you need look no further than on the Warthog forum. There may be other scripts in the making too, but I am only familiar with Morphine’s and Mud’s.

Hi. i know what you mean.
I have a modified Morphine profile (edited to be more like a real life cougar, with antenna gains etc) and with switches I use often (like laser on and CAT switch) on the quadrant.
what I did for 4.33, at first I almost took my eyes out converting the TARGET script to the new keyboard shortcuts. Then I realized to just copy the 4.22 profile into BMS and run it like before. It works great.
For example, for me , the view frame rate is still CTRL+Z+R.

I’m with you Muley… this 67 yr old, after trying many times to torrent BMS 4.33, is going to wait for a site to download the files from, be they zips or rar. Kudos to you for getting further than I did !!!

I have a CH setup. but maybe you can help with this question, i posted it in another topic but it has been passed over.
When using the BMS key File Editor tool and you import a file.key that you previously edited and saved…i see where you have the option to show the import callback but is the a way to quickly include them into the editor column or do you have to start from scratch each time you want to edit and build onto a previously made profile? If so how?

I wish it was that simple.
most of the callback still the same, that’s why it’s working.
however, there are some callbacks that had been canceled, others, which are better, added.
so keep that in mind.Dropping in 4.32 stuff may work, but it’s defiantly not recommended.

In the “controller” section of the BMS setting (in game), make sure to select the pulldown “Joystick - Warthog” and don’t select “throttle - warthog”. It will not work unless you use the correct input…and yes, it will bind both the joystick and throttle with the “Joystick - Warthog” selection.
I simply set all axis setting in the “controller” tab inside of the BMS in game settings and select the “Advance” button to get that that series of menus. That simple. Once all axis are setup, then just start setting your HOTAS button by selecting and highlighting the key input, and then selecting the button on the hotas you want to set for that key.
I don’t use all the scripts and configs nothing but a headache for me and don’t see the benefit if I can simply set all key bindings in-game within 5-minutes and I’m done. Took me 8-hours of pulling my hair out to figure that I didn’t need that stupid TM Software at all!
Good luck buddy, I feel ya! Funny post too!

Can you confirm which callbacks have been added that aren’t in 4.32, and which you’d definitely need on stick or keyboard?
