Mud's Profile

Mud - Thanks for the profile. First time I’ve got my joystick to work in a week. I’m just getting initially setup and the joystick stuff was a bit overwhelming. One question for you, if I’d like to change a few of the commands, is it better for me to do it through the TARGET software, or within the game keystroke settings?
-
Hey Macman,
You could do either, but I think editing the profile is going to be easier. Especially if you’re just planning on swapping some things around.

Thanks.

Mud - One more question, your TARGET file has a .tmc extension, however my TARGET can only edit files with an .fcf extension. I can run your file in the game, but cannot access it through TARGET to edit it. Any ideas?

Make sure you use the TARGET Script Editor, and not the TARGET GUI to open / edit the file.

OK., thank you for the assistance.

Hello, I am new to this sim, just picked it as GOG.com is having a 50% off sale. I updated to BMS 4.33 U1. I am running into two issues that I think are related, I hope to get help.
Using warthog joystick and throttle with g940 rudder pedals (which requires the g940 joystick to be connected as well). Also have connected a saitek throttle quadrant for playing il2 bos.1. Even with setting the axismapping.dat and the joystick.cal to read only I still have the axis all messed up. I have noticed that it defaults to the saitek throttle quadrant instead of the warthog virtual hotas. When I got in to select the warthog as the default and reset my axis, I then can fly stick/rudder/throttle, but the button mapping doesn’t work.
2. I have tried to modify the script to automatically start Falcon 4, hoping it would fix the axis reset issue, but I have the syntax messed up. I also tried deleting the couger mfd panel commands which is why it states line 337, used to be 414, I have the following entered:
//Launch Falcon BMS 4.33
system(“spawn -w “E:\Games\Falcon 4.0\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1” “E:\Games\Falcon 4.0\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Launcher.exe””);
}Which gives me the following error:
Compile Error: Syntax error: E in BMS 4.33 - Mud.tmc at line 337Any help or guidance would be useful. I am going to try with the saitek throttle disconnected, but I can’t disconnect the g940 joystick unless i buy new pedals.
Thanks

1. With the current version of BMS I don’t think you still have to set the two files to read only.
Apart from that make sure your device sorting DeviceSorting.txt is set up correctly, and start the TARGET script before BMS.2. I think you’ve got the backslashes a bit wrong:
Your:
system("spawn -w "E:\\Games\\Falcon 4.0\\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1" "E:\\Games\\Falcon 4.0\\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\\Launcher.exe"");
Should probably be:
system("spawn -w \"E:\\Games\\Falcon 4.0\\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\" \"E:\\Games\\Falcon 4.0\\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\\Launcher.exe\"");

Changing the device sorting seems to have fixed the first problem. I updated the path as you wrote, it still doesn’t start the game. It would be nice to get this to work, but obviously thanks to you I can now play the sim. Thanks! It prints out the following:

Been using this profile for quite some time now, is awesome.
Have been wondering if it is possible and how to put the AI auto pilot on/off command back into the sim using this profile?
Sometimes like to sit back and watch.
Also how can I change the lights on the throttle to be off when auto pilot is on and lights on when auto pilot is off?Cheers
-
I’m not sure what the AI auto pilot is. Could you tell me what the normal key bind for this function is?
As for inverting the way I set up the throttle lights, at the bottom of the profile under *** Extra code *** you will find three lines similar to:
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_INTENSITY, 0));
Change the 0 to 50, and in the other two lines, the 50 to 0 and it should do what you want.

Ok thanks , I will try that for the throttle lights.
As for the auto pilot , I figured it out, I just had to set a key to the " MISC-pitch switch cycle (also combat pilot) " in the controllers settings.Thanks for the help.

Hi Mud,
Thanks for your profile.
After fixing DeviceSorting.txt by putting thrustmaster combined on top,
it seems to work.However, I notice all buttons that have dx assignments when I push it in the game, I get only button 1, 2, 3 etc.
Is this correct?all other buttons with no dx assignments:
- on throttle: autopilot, radar ±, tilt up down, dogfight/missile override, waypoint ±
- on joystick: look closer
seem to work well.
So I have to reprogram within the game all dx assignment buttons:
- all buttons on the joystick except “look closer”
- on throttle: speed brake and mic switch
?
Is this correct?
Sorry if this a noob question.
Please advise.

Hey tirta,
It is indeed normal that a number of buttons have DX assignments. You shouldn’t have to do anything yourself.
Just load my key file in BMS and all buttons should work as shown in the diagram that comes with my script.Try it out in the cockpit and I’m pretty sure you’ll find everything working as it should.
Br,
Mud
-
Thanks Mud.
It is indeed working in the cockpit.So the assignment for dx button is inside the key file.
Why not assign it straight like autopilot, radar + - ,etc ?Is it better to assiign it like this?
-
Yeah, they’re in the key file as far as I remember. Also in the default key file.
They offer advantages, but are not unlimited in number. -
So I did a complete new install of BMS tonight and new TARGET software and drivers. I’m using your latest profile with the right key file in the config but when I go in to set up the stick none of the buttons show up. It says the button number and says it’s unassigned.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-
Hey Wicked,
Is your DeviceSorting.txt set properly?
Br,
Mud
-
Yes it is now. However now when I load the profile it will only work with the Full Key.key file. Mud.key barely loads any call backs to the stick and throttle but the MFD’s work fine… lol.

I’m good to go. I ended up using Morphine’s and all is well with my BMS WORLD!
