Thrustmaster T.16000M + TWCS Keyfile

And the same to you and yours. Stay safe and fly some Falcon

Thank you…but more importantly I have also lost the ability to rotate the course pointer and heading bug on the HSI with my mouse wheel. I get the ‘rotate arrows’ over the buttons but as I use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, i have to right click or left click now to move the nav. pointer (one degree at a time). I used to be able to hover over either button and just rotate the wheel one way or the other to move the heading bug…

Hey there. My TWCS POV hat input does not get recognized using the current 1.51 alternative launcher. Anything else I need to edit for the pov hat to work?

You’ll have to check with the Alternative Launcher developer. My keyfile and settings are not guaranteed to work with the Alternative Launcher (it uses the Falcon BMS - Full.key file I believe). I don’t know if it supports the multiple hat options.

Mine does - maybe start off with a fresh new keyfile? ALT launcher only uses the BMS full.key file.
Make sure that in game that your using the full keyfile too by default and it’s not loading another custom one associated with your saved settings.

Okay thank you guys. Will check it out. I was using the profile here but modified it a little in the alternative launcher to my personal liking.

I tried to use the Alt launcher until I found Orffen’s work and just did as he said and my controls are bang on…search back to the messages in this post for the how-to’s…you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks Orffen! I’d struggled for ages trying to get my controls set up but your config has given me a leg up. It’s a shame the axes aren’t defined (not your fault) as this foxed me when I first started and it seems like you have to set them up in a specific order (stick before throttle) otherwise you end up with the throttle mini stick controller pitch and roll!
This should be rolled into the next patch so that it’s there for other folks who might have been burned trying to set up their controllers.

Version 6 updates:
- Added dogfight cancel to shifted TBTN3
-
Version 7 updates:
- TMS functions are now on the non-shifted POV hat; TRIM has moved to the shifted POV hat as it’s used less often than TMS
- Added another .key file which retains the original mappings (TRIM unshifted, TMS shifted)

Do you ever find trim gets stuck when using it as a shifted state. This used to happen to me in 4.33 a lot… Don’t know if 4.34 it works better with shifted states.
In 4.33 if you didn’t “unshift” in the correct order then the trim would be stuck “running” to maximum, which got pretty funky.

Thank you for continuous efforts!

Have you tried swapping the devices in the DeviceSorting.txt and putting the Stick on top and the throttle below?
That fixed all the issues I had with getting it to work.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. After loading the BMS-BasicDX TM Warthog.key and pasting it into user/config file, loading the keyfile, I am unable to takeoff. Either my stick works or my thrust works depending on what is selected in the drop down in Setup. After selecting advanced, I’ve set Flight Control Throttle Axis to Warthog Throttle, Pitch Axis to Joy Y, and Roll Axis to Joy X. Both inputs in advanced DO respond to my inputs, but once I back out to the setup page, the x/y axis thrust only works if the thrust is selected in the drop down, at which point I get no stick movement and vice versa.

I haven’t noticed it recently, but I think this is still the case. When I first created the .key file, I had miscalculated the shifted DX numbers, so the pinky shift mapping came on when the button was pressed, but didn’t come off. As a result the shifted layer got stuck on.

I see the same behaviour - electing a different controller in the drop down removes the axis mappings for my throttle.
Re-map your axes in Advanced, then don’t touch that dropdown - the pitch/roll and thrust axis should all respond as you’d expect.

Hello Orffen,
Thank you for your very useful profile.
I have a problem with the shift. If I use the key.file with the trim unshifted, I can’t get the TMS and with the TMS unshifted, I can’t get the Trim function.
The unshifted function work well.Thank you for your help.

To use the shifted functions, you need to hold down the pinky switch button. It’s the far left button on the TWCS throttle, next to the rotary dial.

Thank you for your quick answer.
I holded down the pinky switch , the TMS function is always stuck TMS Down; the trim function works well .

RaffutThis will happen if you let go of the TMS before you let go of the pinky switch. Unfortunately not much can be done to fix that except slowing down your inputs.
