Thrustmaster T.16000M + TWCS Keyfile
-
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.

Thank you.

Sorry for coming late to the game, but which key file is newer? TRIM or no TRIM? And coming from recently trying the Target approach, do I need to undo anything related to DeviceSorting.txt? Is that file still required, or can it be deleted? Thanks!

They’re both the same version, just with those mappings swapped - use whichever you prefer.
My DeviceSorting.txt has the T.16000M first:
{B10A044F-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} "T.16000M" {B687044F-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} "TWCS Throttle"

Hey Orffen, nice job!
Didn’t know about that new POV hat override functionality until i read your post.
Now there’s even less reason to use the odd TARGET.
I’ll probably still use it to get two more buttons from the frontal rudder rocker in my setup.
But yours has given me some reason to overthink my setup and adapt it.
I’d definitively recommend yours for T.16000M/FCWS beginners.PS: If i’m not mistaken, i noted a small mistake in labeling:
COMMS Left is actually IFF OUT and COMMS Right is IFF IN? -

Yeah, works! It’s Shareware though, not free.

I’ve been using it for a long time for free.
Funny you say that as I just donated to the developer last week!
