Yet Another T.16000M FCS HOTAS Review and Setup
-
How do I change the button assignments in your script?
ETA: Nevermind, I figured out I can do it in Falcon setup.

Thanks! Got my 16000m figured out. Now I just have to figure out how to fly the f-16
-
Great work! Stick, rudder and throttle are working well together and with all buttons and functions. I will change some buttons, because i own the rudder, but this is no problem anymore.
Thank you very much!S!

Hi Logic,
I am having some problem having buttons on my TWCS throttle to be assign with a fixed DX assignment.
For example, after running my script and pressing the 1st button on the throttle, the falcon 4 controller setup screen would button no “65” instead of the expected “33”.
I had tried deleting the devicesorting.txt file and changing the order of devices and sometime it would show “33”, but sometime it would remain as “65”.
Any help on this?
-
Looks definitively like a device order problem.
Verify that when your script is run, you only have the “T.16000M” and “Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller (root)” in your Windows USB controllers setup.
If you still see “TWCS Throttle” there, then your script isn’t running/working or something else is messed up (Did you run Teampseak before? Then this is the issue! See ReadMe on first page).
Of course also verify your devices are plugged-in before you run the script. -
I had the following with regards to the devicesorting file;
1. delete the entire file and let BMS recreate it
2. gone into the file and ensure t16000M is the 1st device follow by TM Virtual controller as the 2nd device
3. delete the line containing TWCS throttlethe funny thing is TWCS throttle always keep reappearing (as the last device though).
BTW I do not run teamspeak.

That means TARGET script is not running (well) when you start BMS.
Otherwise BMS shouldnt ever see “TWCS throttle”.
Check with Windows USB controllers settings. -
I also was having problems with the order in which the device sorting.txt was putting them in. It would put the throttle first every time. But I found out that the problem I had was, that if you use the BMS alternative launcher. It will switch it over back the the throttle. After launch bms manualy. I went to settings, the default was on keyboard and switching to the joystick and loading my profile or the logic.key seems to be working as intended. Thought I post this for anyone else who was about 2 pull out there hair, like me.

Update….
When I ran Logic’s script everything turns out ok. Then when i ran my script, it also ran ok! Check windows games controller and TWC throttle did not appear.
However, there’s a few instances where my script doesn’t work & the same problem reappear. What i do would then is to run Logic’s script, follow by my script and it would be back to normal.
I would then launch BMS. Stick & throttle work ok. After quitting BMS, i would check the devicesorting.txt and guess what?! TWCS throttle is in the devicesorting.txt file as the last device!
I can’t really figure out where my mistake lies in.

Hi,
Had tried this method many times but it didn’t work for me

Hi all,
I am starting in the world of Falcon BMS.
With the configurations provided in this thread, how can I change the buttons mapping. For example, I want that the function to look around be on the buttons POV0 POV1 … ?
Thanks,

Hi, Just a heads up, DeviceSorting.txt is not in the updated V2 of the configuration. Please check!

That file is specific to your computer and not generic.
Go to your user folder / config and you will find it there.
Then inside that file sort your directx devices in the order you want them. -
Oh man!
Thanks, Logic! You spared me hours and hours of trial and error and provided me with a cool and working setup for the Thrustmaster HOTAS
You rock!
Thank you!

How did you get the throttle to work witht he stick? I can only have 1 device active at the same time. And I can’t figure out how to use both.
-
Welcome cookie. In the setup screen, your stick should be the primary, go to the advanced tab and you can set your throttle under one of the tabs. If you use discord, follow the link in my Sig. Many folks there to help you get flying in no time. Good luck!!

Thanks for pointing it out. I updated the first post with a newer version including DeviceSorting.txt.

That file is specific to your computer and not generic.
It actually IS generic! It contains an identifier that is provided directly from the hardware. Every T.16000M will have the same id.
I included it in latest version in first post. -

I included it in latest version in first post.Well I said this because the devices listed are specific to the computer and user. Not everyone has the same hardware.
Then concerning the device ID, it does change sometimes from the manufacturer when a product is updated, even if there is no product ref change. So, it is the same in most cases, but manufacturers can change it. -
