Morphine's Profile

Thank you for the great profile! I recently purchased a Warthog and this really helped get me going with the new HOTAS. I do have a couple of noob questions, though.
Does this profile alter the HUD font and MFD color, or did I make a mistake? Is there a way to set preferences for HUD font and MFD color?
Thanks again!
-
dont think anything should change HUD font… HUD color you can adjust by editing the callsign.ini file, or by using the WDP to change it for you.

Hello All,
A newbie question: trying to install the morphine profile , but my combined controller keeps on being set to position (1) in BMS (and my rudder in (0) )…which messes up the key assignment. How can I get the combine controller to (0) ? I tried joy id application recommended by morphine but it doesnt work .
Thanks for your guidance.
Fulcrum
Problem solved by swapping the USB port of the rudder. Finally made it controller (1) vs TW controller (0)

I experience a lot CTD after using your profile. Anyone else experiencing this?
This happends just before I am entering the sim / 3d world.
Never had a CTD in a long time.
I have installed the latest drivers for the Hotas Warthog, and updated the joystick and throttle’s firmware.
I also use the Target script editor for running the TMC file. -
Morphine, excellent profile.
I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and it really is great. However, I would like to swap the functions between the NWS button and the Paddle. I have small hands and I find that using the paddle as a modifier/shift button much easier, especially if I have to reach another button on the joystick. So;
NWS button is currently “Expand FOV and Shift” and I would like it to be “Center TIR and A/P Disc”, and
The Paddle is currently “Center TIR and A/P Disc” and I would like it to be “Expand FOV and Shift”.I know zip about re-programing the .key or the .tmc files so if you could be so kind as to write out/show the changes required, I can then make them in mine. I’m presuming it’s not as simple as finding the buttons in question and just cut and pasting from one line to the other.

Change the following line in the Profile:
SetShiftButton(&Joystick, S3);
to:
SetShiftButton(&Joystick, S4);and;
MapKey(&Joystick, S4, TEMPO(PULSE+F12, DX4, 750));
to:
MapKey(&Joystick, S3, TEMPO(PULSE+F12, DX3, 750));You will need to also change the SHIFT button designation in the Warthog_DX.key file.
Look for the following lines near the bottom:
Pinky/S3 (Win DX3 = BMS DX2)
SimHotasPinkyShift 2 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Paddle/S4 (…and so on…)
SimAPOverride 3 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
And change to:
Pinky/S3 (Win DX3 = BMS DX2)
SimAPOverride 2 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Paddle/S4 (…and so on)
SimHotasPinkyShift 3 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Similarily, change the following lines:
Pinky/S3 (Win DX3 = BMS DX2+256 = BMS DX258 )
SimHotasPinkyShift 258 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Paddle/S4 (…and so on…)
SimDoNothing 259 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
To:
Pinky/S3 (Win DX3 = BMS DX2+256 = BMS DX258 )
SimDoNothing 258 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Paddle/S4 (…and so on…)
SimHotasPinkyShift 259 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

I also use the Target script editor for running the TMC file.Are you saying BMS is crashing or the TARGET software? If BMS, then your problem most likely lies there.
You could unplug the Warthog and load the BMS keyfile to see if it still crashes.
-
It’s really weird. It crashes (Falcon BMS) when I run tactical engagement and doing the “flying” mission, but not in the taxi / take-off mission. When I play the campaign it is also okay.
But before I used the warthog and before I installed TARGET it didn’t crash in that mission. Can be a coincidence though.But I found another small issue: The autopilot button: The right auto-pilot “button”; the up position on my Warthog will switch it to the down position in the sim (it’s opposite)
-
Yeah I haven’t a clue what could be causing your crashing.
The switch is programmed to reflect the text on the throttle and not the in game position. So it’s the opposite of the game as you’ve noticed.
-
Wow! Thanks very much Morphine for the quick response. My tiny fingers thank you…

I tested it more thoroughly. When I had the target profile running it crashed every time before entering the 3d word (in tactical engagement –> basic flight).
I then stopped the target profile, unplugged my joystick and hotas, entered the game and started the mission again. Now it didnt crash. Then I plugged in the warthog, started target, entered the game and set up the controls again.
Now it worked. Weird.
One thing I notice too is that when I run the target and I go to devices in control panel I see that there are these warning (!) signs on both the joystick and warthog icons. Those warnings dissappear when I stop running the target profile.
There might be some issues here. cause when the target profile is run they are called “thrustmaster combined” in the controller settings. So maybe something is not 100 % right here? -

So maybe something is not 100 % right here?That is exactly what is supposed to happen. The short explanation is that TARGET “virtually” combines the 2 devices into one so they can be programmed by “virtually” unplugging them (hence the exclamation points) and creating the cleverly named “Thrustmaster Combined” device.
I think the crashes might be related to your configuration being tied to whatever your previous device was. Perhaps by restarting as you did, you’ve cleared the problem. Next step would be to uninstall and then perform a clean install of BMS.

Hi Morphine,
I have resisted getting contact for a while now as I did not want to appear to be overly lazy in reading and seeing what other people are doing with your profile. However as I am not making sufficient progress, it is time to make the call.
I cannot seem to get your profile to run as I would expect. For example, my Trottle does not respond when using your profile, but the game indicates that the rudder is working fine when using the de-coupled right trottle control, while no response from the left control. I have tried the usual utilities such as the Target Script Editor device analyzer and they all seem to think that the device is working ok. I always start the BMS via the script editor and I have made sure that the “BMS 4.32 - Mud.key” is in the \user\config folder. Also that this key file is loaded in the game I am sure there is something that I have missed, but not sure what.
By “trial and error”, I have had the trottle responding on “Z-Axis Thrustmaster combined (0)”. So far, all other keys seem to be working as expected, just not the trottle. Can you think of what I might have missed so far?
Cheers,
Harm88

Does it look like this (see picture)?

Hi Venom,
Thanks for the response.
The 3 entries for the Thrustmaster Combined are the same. However as I do not have any rudder pedal pedal installed, the references to the “Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder” are replaced by the Z Axis - Thrustmaster Combined (o).
By the way, which tool do you use to do your screen capturing?

It was just the screenshot from Morphine’s tutorial on his homepage. I have the Warthog myself so it’s weird it doesn’t work for you.
Have you updated the drivers and firmware for both your throttle and joystick? You can do that with the target profiler program.
Also try and chose keyboard for rudder, since the Z-axis is the throttle. So I don’t understand why you use thas as rudder. -
Have it like I have it in these 3 pictures. Then I don’t see why it shouldn’t work. As long as you are sure you are running his profile with target script while you run BMS.

You should only be using the keyfile (Warthog_DX.key) that I provided as many of the mappings are controlled by that. I do not know how Mud mapped his and it may not work with my profile. The keyfiles and the scripts work together so you can’t mix and match unless you know what you are doing.
As Venom has said, you need to make sure the designations in the Advanced Options page in the Flight Control and Avionics Control tabs are the same as mine (minus the Rudder pedals and toe brakes which would be assigned to the Keyboard). Go back to the web page where you downloaded the script and look closely at the Flight Control tab and the Avionics Control tab.
The reason the Throttle is controlling the Rudders is that you have it assigned incorrectly (it’s how BMS defaults). So you should have Throttle Axis assigned to “Z Rotation - Thrustmaster Combined (0)” and Right Engine Throttle Axis assigned to “Z Axis - Thrustmaster Combined (0)”. Anything other than that is not going to work.
Also make sure you check the Reverse button on the Cursor Y axis.

I see a couple things in your screenshots that may cause you problems.
1. Your throttle mappings are incorrect. See the post above to Harm88 regarding Z Rotation and Z Axis.
2. You are using a differently named keyfile. If it’s just mine renamed and/or modified… that’s ok… if it’s someone elses keyfile there may be problems.
3. You do not have they Range Knob mapped to the “Throttle - Thrustmaster Combined (0)”. If you do that, you’ll be able to use the red China Hat to zoom the TGP.

1. I only fly the F-16 so I have no use for 2 throttles.
2. I just changed some keyboard mappings and renamed it (I use S / Shift + S for steerpoints etc.)
3. Ops! thanks for the reminder
