Thrustmaster T.16000M + TWCS Keyfile
-
Sorry Orffen - just seen your response to my original post before I edited it to change the question as you had answered the first one in an earlier response on this thread.
Its arrived so will have a go tonight. Thanks again - already seen I cant use the hat on the throttle without mods so looking forward to sorting that. -

You can’t use this keyfile with the alternative launcher, you should just launch using the regular launcher instead.

hi
Edit falcon bms.cfg and add the additional lines from my add to falcon bms.cfg file,
question 1
So that’s means add code “from my add to falcon bms.cfg file” at the end of bms.cfg?Copy the .key file to the same folder
Load the .key file in Falcon BMS under Setup -> Controllers
Jump into 3D to verify all bindings (the 2D interface doesn’t show any shifted bindings)question 2,
Orffen Basic T16000M+TWCS.key
Orffen Basic T16000M+TWCS TRIM.key
what’s the difference between these two files?
which one should I load?question 3,
Any config with T.Flight Rudder Pedals works? -

question 2,
Orffen Basic T16000M+TWCS.key
Orffen Basic T16000M+TWCS TRIM.key
what’s the difference between these two files?
which one should I load?The bindings use a shifted layer to allow us to map more buttons than we physically have on the HOTAS. The difference between these 2 files is which function is mapped to the unshifted joystick POV hat. The TRIM version has the top hat used for trim (rarely used in the Viper except for when your ordnance is unbalanced). The other version has the top hat used as TMS. In both version the alternate mapping is available in the shifted layer (hold the PINKY SWITCH DX SHIFT button and then use the hat).
You can use whichever you prefer - I find the TMS unshifted is more useful as I use it more often than trim.
@afk:
question 3,
Any config with T.Flight Rudder Pedals works?Yes! The rudder pedals are just axes, so you map them as you map your stick and throttle.

Version 10 updates:
- Added bindings for Toggle Pilot Model (B15) and Center View (shifted B11)
- Moved Visor to B14 and Night Vision to shifted layer B14

I’ve been wanting to get back into BMS but control inputs have been what is stopping me.
Does this profile still work correctly? Should I just be binding everything via AL? I hear it makes things as easy as DCS to bind these days, is that true?
-
@Easy301 AL is highly recommended. I use the TWCS throttle and the TitanWolf Vulture Stick. I never even tried to bind them through BMS setup. I used AL, just double click a function on AL click the relative button and Save. If you have your setup figured out it takes less than 5’.

@danaos75
May I ask what AL stands for? Sounds a bit like my old Joystick programming tool that was easy to use that way. I don’t find the TARGET software very intuitive -
-
@Scorpion82 what @logic said above. Not just a keybinding tool, but that is its main feature. Sorry for just using the abbreviation before.

Sorry for the lateness in this one, I haven’t had any time for BMS lately
Version 11 updates:
- Merged BMS Basic 4.36 keyfile changes
-
@Orffen Thank you very much. I really appreciate the effort. Fly high, fly safe
-
Thank you, will give this a try.

This is excellent, just what I was looking for.

Thank you so much for still updating this!
Again as a tip for anyone where BMS doesn’t seem to load the file properly:
open the DeviceSorting.txt and make sure that the entry for the stick is on top of the list and above the throttle.Maybe you can include that in your instructions,
-
The keyfile seem to be not compatible with 4.37 - really hoping we can get this upgraded, it’s still the best configuration for this HOTAS
-
@CookieMonster there is new stuff added for 4.37 (VR and ECM stuff, some extr lighting) but no obvious breaking-changes, that I’ve seen.
what about the key file is broken for 4.37?
is the new Alt Launcher simply overwriting it?

It doesn’t seem take over the assignments for the Throttle Keys.
You can work around the new Alternative Launcher overwriting everything by just using the classic “Launcher.exe” instead.
-
@CookieMonster oh is it because AL is imposing
set g_nButtonsPerDevice 128
now?you can try put
set g_nButtonsPerDevice 32
in your user.cfg, to override the override, as it werealso do
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256
if that’s what the key file needs
