Has anyone bought and tested the TM TQS?
-
@huffer2 The C end plugs into the front of the TQS, the other end is USB A and plugs into your PC or powered USB HUB.

For BMS
The idle detent cutoff and idle……
Assign DX18 to the idle cutoff in the alternate launcher
Then, for the throttle to idle position, set that to The same DX command (DX18) but click Press in the alternate launcher so it changes to release.
This will cause the idle cutoff when pressed to shut down the engine and when released to put the engine into idle.
-
@cougar56th That worked.
Have you figured out assigning the landing gear? DX38 is in the gear up position - I can’t get gear down assigned.
How about the zoom switch near the speed brake? -

You mean this way ?
@jcook have you activated the virutal buttons ? Gear Down would be DX57

@Echo
It’s the other way around:TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Idle --> DX18 RELEASE
TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Off --> DX18Kind of a pressed DX18 means “cut off” and a released “idle”.

@Zwingli
i know it it was a 50/50 and i got it wrongHm, okay set it now the right way but when im in 2D and under Setup the
TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Idle --> DX18 RELEASE
isnt showing up when im using it only OFF
-
@huffer2 Even with the old TQS, you can set positions for idle cut-off and afterburner in the launcher. So then when you move your throttle past the idle cut-off position, you shouldn’t need to use the keyboard for the idle detent.
-
Sorry, I had to mention that I do the key and axis-mapping only in the bms launcher. It’s far more easier than in the game itself. Especially if you have more than 2 devices…
-
@Ricky yes but this throttle full aft movement is idle. From idle to Idle cutoff is not registered as a movement of the axis. Idle cutoff is a button press.
-
Here my settings for the throttle axis and cut off in pictures.
This is how the TQS Software registers “cut off” position" or “not in cut off”.
“Cut off” --> Button 18 is active
“Idle” and up to Full AB --> Button 18 is not active
To get into this menu in Windows10 you have to go to “settings” typ in “gamecontroller” and choose the Viper TQS…How I made the settings:
Keymapping in BMS Launcher
Axis mapping in BMS Launcher:
Full MIL
Full AB“IDLE DETENT” is not needed in Axis mapping.
The “AB DETENT” has to be placed very few in front of the point were you have to lift the throttle in AB…Hope that can help…
-
No Problem, im also using the AL , but wenn in 2D I’m just testing if the “Button” is registered by the game… sorry mean simulation (Release DX18)
As you can see its set but in the Setup menu there is no reaktion for it
I thnik I’m missing something but dont know what…
-
Did anyone get the indicator lights to work? Has anyone tried using Target? I cannot get Target to show my Viper TQS. I had no problem programming with Alt Launcher, I was hoping Target may get the lights working.
-
@Zwingli
Another question for you. I still launch BMS with the original launcher. Not the ALT Launcher. Is it possible to assign a Press, then a release for the DX cutoff keyfile with the original launcher?If not, looks like I will have to redo my cockpit setup with the ALT Launch and a new keyfile.
Thanks for your input
-
@Ricky
I know Ricky. The problem I think that would happen is when I move the throttle to idle, it is too easy not to FEEL the detent in the TQS, and I would probably kill the engine in flight!BTW, thanks for all your work with Tomcattwo on the new VCC-BMS 1.1
It is awesome!! -
Honestly, I don’t know.
But, as I heard, it is more sustainable for future BMS - versions to use the new one… That means that you can kind of export them easily or simply use the older one…
-
Are you sure that you use the same key-file in the launcher like in the sim? In the launcher you use the “BMS-Auto” key file… make sure that this is the same which is connected to your profile settings in the game…
-
@Echo I don’t know if your problem is that in setup options in bms you don’t see dx off
Is okay, you 'll see dx on but not dx off but is working right.
Is best to comprobate in AL.
Regards
-
@huffer2 Ah, that makes sense. Especially with the old TQS where the detent sometimes wears down.
And my pleasure, regarding the Virtual Crew Chief! Glad you’re enjoying it.

Maybe there is new drivers you need to download from TM site.
