@flex, I don’t know all the different zoom functions well enough to offer any useful advice. I have a second monitor that I use to display the MFDs so mine are always crystal clear I think you’ll need to experiment with the zoom functions listed in keyfile-generator.xls to see if there is something there that suits your purpose. The only thing I can quickly think of is to look at the MFD (with TIR) and then hit pause. You could then use the FOV command to zoom in a bit until it’s as clear as you want it. But I don’t think that is exactly what you are trying to do.
Good luck!

I hate to ask what is probably a really dumb question, but I can’t figure this out. I can use the RWS or TWS mode without problem, but I can’t designate a target. I have tried TMS right but that seems to only change the presentation of the FCS screen. Whenever I use TMS up or down they won’t be designated. I have gotten it to work once, but I don’t really know what I did to make it work.

I’m not sure I understand the exact nature of the problem from your email but I’ll offer some tips below. Also, if you’re new to FalconBMS, I’d recommend watching Krause’s training videos (esp. the FCR, AIM-120, AIM-9, HMCS, Dog Fight Mode video for A/A target designation).
1. Designate is actually TMS Up in both RWS and TWS. After you designate the first target you can then use TMS right to “Step” (designate) to the next tracked target in TWS.
2. Make sure you have placed the cursors over the target you are trying to designate before using TMS Up.
3. Just to make sure your TMS button is working, you can also select different steerpoints in the HSD by first making it SOI (DMS Down) and then moving the cursor over a steerpoint (an unfilled circle) and selecting TMS Up. This should cause the circle to become solid and it is now your new steerpoint.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Thanks Morphine, I will try the TMS up. I know the button is working. However, another question. I decided to go through each tutorial from beginning to end because I want to learn to fly this thing right. In the first tutorial, Ramp Start, I keep getting stuck on the throttle initialization. I am obviously using your profile and key file, and I have the idle detent redline setup up slightly above the bottom the the throttle movement (although I have tried it at the bottom as well). I have also enabled the idle cutoff patch in the config. But the tutorial says to move the throttle from idle to full AB and back to off, and for some reason it thinks I am not either moving it to full AB or to off, not sure which. I have the AB green line set in the dead zone. In the setup when I move the throttle over the detent to off it shows a key combo of Alt-i. I really don’t want to get stuck this early…:) Any ideas?

A couple of things….
I have the Idle Cutoff unchecked in the Configuration Options -> Settings Hardware (the Falcon BMS Configuration before you launch the Sim).
Shutting Down: I have the Red Line all the way to the bottom. The Idle Cutoff for the Throttle works when you lift the throttle levers up and over the detent on the bottom. This will shut the engine down. It does it by triggering a button when you lift the throttle up (I’ve programmed the button to send ALT-i).
Starting the Engine: After configuring the Jet for start (fuel, brakes, power, etc.), I leave the throttle at idle in the unlifted state (just pulled all the way back) and hit the JFS button (ENG OPER L on the WH). After a short pause you should hear the JFS spooling up. Wait until the SEC light goes out on the Caution panel and then move the throttle to 50%. Now hit the Idle Detent button (ENG OPER R on the WH) and wait about a second. For some reason, I then need to move the throttle forward and back about +/- 20% and eventually the RPM’s start coming up. As soon as the RPM’s cross 35-40% you can then just move the throttle back to idle and the engine will continue to spool and eventually stabilize at idle (~70%). If the RPM’s don’t start coming up after about 5 seconds, I repeat the procedure starting with the throttle to 50% and hitting the Idle Detent button (ENG OPER R).
Hope that helps and good luck.

Yes, that’s how it is working on mine as well, but in that first training flight for some reason it either isn’t seeing the throttle moving to full AB or to full OFF, I’m not sure which. And in that tutorial there is no way to get by that step unless it sees both full AB and full off. When I’m in the controllers setup screen I see that lifting the throttle over the idle detent sends an ALT-i. This one is driving me crazy. I will try posting in the tech support and see if anyone there has any ideas. But when I’m flying I can shut down the engine by pulling the throttle over the idle detent…
-
Hmmm… never looked at the training mission you mentioned… I’ll give it a shot and let you know what I find.
-
I finally figured it out, you just have to keep hitting Shift-K until it clears that screen. Startup worked just as you said…Thanks a ton!

Morphine,
I love your profile and it is by far the best one out there for FALCON BMS. However, I seriously miss having the option for LABELS and wish the CMS was configured realistically with the HOTAS. Everything else is perfect. Im active duty officer is the Army and dont have time to learn TARGET scripting or keymapping and was seriously hoping you can help me out. Any assistance Morphine would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just dropped to say thanks for great profile. Very logical and there wasn’t lot for me to change. Some minor changes on view bindings and i switched laser and cat 1/cat 3 switch other way around, because on cockpit Cat switch is left and laser switch is on right so it makes sense to me to have them same way on throttle. Otherwise it’s perfect profile.

Yes, thanks for the great profile and it has prompted me to start learning TARGET!

Hey guys, new member here, wanted to first say this is a great sim and great community!
I’d love to be able to use this profile with my warthog, but am a TOTAL taget newb. I understand I have to put the tmc file in the script folder, but what exactly is the “key” i downloaded and where do I put it in order to be able to use the profile? I already discovered how to ensure 6DOF with my TIR5 with the vectors and FOV enabling so that’s not a problem, just need help figuring out how to correctly setup this profile. If anybody would be willing to help a complete idiot, in other words, it would be very much appreciated! :). Also, does BMS allow for the combined WARTHOG and use of CH pro pedals? How do I use both together?. I realize that’s alot of questions, but I genuinely appreciate the help guys!
Thanks again,

I hope I can help you out. First of all, make sure after following the link to the files, you download everything and I would even suggest printing out the pictures that show how to assign the controllers within BMS. The .key file is placed within your BMS config folder which should be something similar to C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Config. Then, “run” the script or .tmc file that you downloaded from the TARGET script editor. Start BMS and navigate to the controllers menu and you need to load the key file. To do this, click “setup” and then “controllers.” You will see a list of key commands and under that you will see a button labeled “load.” Click it and you should see a file called “warthog_dx.” That is the key file that needs to be loaded within the sim and it has the necessary keystrokes assigned that will allow the profile to work. Then, go into the advanced tab under “controllers” and set up the axis’ based on the pictures (this is very important). Remember, you need to run the script each time before you go into the sim. If you don’t, BMS will not remember your axis assignments and you will have to re-assign them. Also, you will need to know what the different TMS and DMS buttons do within the sim. This is explained in the BMS manual. With regards to your pedals, are they “gameport” or “USB?” I’m going to assume they are USB pedals and yes, you can use those. They will be listed as a separate axis within BMS as will be the toe brakes (z axis for the rudder and x and y for the different toe brakes). Hope this helps and if I missed something, I’m sure someone else will point it out.

Hey, new member here….
Could somebody please tell me how to disable the TrackIR Reset and TrackIR Center buttons from the paddle switch?I use my own key press for that function and would like to remap the paddle switch/lever to the wheel brakes.
I’ve had a look through the TARGET script but I’m not sure which entry to delete/modify, I know the Paddle switch is S4 (259) and the Track IR functions are mentioned in the Warthog DX key file but I’m unsure on how to proceed.
Many thanks for the profile (saved me some work), and thanks for any replies.
Cheers.

You just need to REM out the second line in the statement below in the TARGET Script:
So:
//Paddle/S4
MapKey(&Joystick, S4, TEMPO(PULSE+F12, DX4, 750));Becomes:
//Paddle/S4
// MapKey(&Joystick, S4, TEMPO(PULSE+F12, DX4, 750));The Paddle will now work as in Real-Life as the Autopilot disconnect alone (i.e. no TrackIR Center)
-
Thanks Morphine that has worked a treat. Just one last question ?
If I wanted to add the Switched Paddle button to wheel brakes then is it done in TARGET?
Thanks again,
-
You probably could but a better way would be to edit the .key file (Warthog_DX.key if you are using mine) with Notepad++ (or equivalent) to replace the first two lines below with the second two lines:
Paddle/S4 (…and so on…)
SimAPOverride 3 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Paddle/S4 (…and so on…)
SimWheelBrakes 3 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Now the paddle will apply your wheel brakes rather than override the autopilot.
