Cannot get the Warthog throttle and joystick working together?
-
I’m new to Falcon BMS, but I’m having problems trying to get the Warthog throttle to work with the Warthog joystick. When I select Warthog joystick in the drop down menu in controller setup, I can only get the joystick to work in game. I then tried the Warthog throttle in the drop down menu and only the throttle worked in the game? How do you get these working together because I don’t see anything in the drop down menu to combine them. Thanks!

You leave the warthog joystick selected in the drop down menu. You then select the advanced button and select the flight controls tab to setup the throttle.

You have to run your .tmc file using the Target script editor to combine stick and throttle as one device.

This is the correct answer. Select the “primary” controller in the drop down (the one which is used for pitch and roll). The other controllers work just fine without being set in that drop down list. The only restrictions are:
1. The primary controller must be pitch/bank axes (other controllers cannot be).
2. The primary controller POV buttons are recognized (other controllers’ POV are not). -
How do you set the Idle and AB-Detend when you don’t select the throttle in the main controller screen?

You can still set it on the main screen.
-
Not here. When the Warthog Joystick is selected the Throttle scale is greyed out and I can’t set the detents.
-
You have to press the advanced button and select which axis will control the throttle axis. When it’s set correctly the blue bar will respond correctly on the main screen.

Ah ok. I’ll try it
-
I thought the whole point of the physical idle detent was to prevent throttling back below the minimum value the engine requires to keep spinning. Lifting the throttles over the detent requires deliberate action. If I’m correct, then what point is there in setting the software idle detent?

If your new to falcon just install the “Target” software that came with the stick and follow the guides to setup the GUI interface.
Then in Falcon setup/controllers page you will have a choice in the drop down menu of “ThrustMaster Combined Device”
This gives you all the Stick directly in the Setup page and some of the more important functions on the Throttle. (Throttle needs configuring)
After you have exhausted these "directX assignments (32 buttons) Stick takes 19 you can then fill out the rest of the 32 in the throttle. And then in the Target software itself with “key strokes” for the remainder of the throttle.
This is the simplest way to start,
Actual Im shore that many things will just work by default.
Edit just did a quick test. All the stick is set.
1……Created a new “Configuration File” which I named BMS2 of “Basic” type and selected a location of “C:\Falcon BMS 4.33\User\Config” (your default install path) this is where you will also find your logbook, key files etc and is a convenient location for doing a backup later of such files.
2 Press OK then select your Stick and Throttle in the next screen.
3 For now just press Next a few times until your back in the main “Command Center” Window again.
4 Now click “Add” Give this “association” a “Title” (BMS 4.33)
5 Next browse a path to your install and find the “Launcher.exe”
6 Now browse to “associate configuration” file you created earlier in your “C:\Falcon BMS 4.33\User\Config”
Now you have an entry in the top left in the Fly Now box.
This will get you started.
