Am I being Thick.
-
Hi guys,
I don’t know whether old age has set in with me or I’m just being thick, I used to fly on here about 15 years ago in a group of 3 and used to love it, now I can’t seem to get anything working, I’m at the point of no return, I live in the midlands and I’m willing to pay someone to come and help me set it up so I can get back in the air, so any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated, or should I just give up and put on my slippers???
Thanks all

@AllenB1971 What exactly is not working?
-
@AllenB1971 Midlands as in UK?
-
-
@rubbra
Yes Midlands UK -
Everything lol, Even trying to set up the warthog is driving me nuts. Has it changed this much in 15 years.
-
@AllenB1971 Your Warthog will set up very easy in the Alt Launcher. It’s all DirectX. Check the BMS Documentation. It will explain everything.
-
@AllenB1971 well I’m not far away and happy to help - Gloucestershire.
-
Same.
Kent here.
Not an expert by any means but definately enough to get you up and running I’m sure.
Not ideal I know but could walk through some stuff on the phone maybe?
-
@AllenB1971 do you want to explain what you’re having difficulty with and the hive mind can try to help?
-
Do like this Allen:
Fire up the ALt-launcher and on your flight stick, make sure to map TMS, CMS, DMS, First and Second Gun Triggers and weapon release.
It doesn’t really matter where you put them as long as you remember it yourself.
On the Warthog Throttle, map out airbrakes, DF/Missile/Override, Manual Range Knob, Antenna Elevation, Uncage, radar cursor slew (not found in button section but rather in the axis configuration). That should get you going. Might have forgotten something but that’s a good start.

Looks like you have plenty of offers to help, as for changes to HOTAS setup, it is 500% easier now with Alt-Launcher than it ever was! Just like eating an elephant, one bite at a time… you will get there.

Hi all, thanks for the help so far just going through ramp start now, one thing is though when I’m in the cockpit and starting the engine and try to use my throttle it doesn’t move its set up in keymapping and works fine there…
And yes it is duck, although I was born in Mancs, Im now a duck. :)) -
@AllenB1971 try pressing ALT-I (or click the little lever on the throttle in 3D) to move the throttle past Idle Detent, to see if that helps.
