New warthog owner
-
I just got a Warthog stick and was wondering whats the best setup for the buttons.
-
I recommend Morphine’s profile. It’s a real good starting point.
-
I like my setup. It uses the joystick part naturally; it’s the throttle part that has creativity for TARGET programming.
include "target.tmh" int main() { Configure(&HCougar, MODE_EXCLUDED); //Exclude all but WH Throttle Configure(&Joystick, MODE_EXCLUDED); Configure(&T16000, MODE_EXCLUDED); Configure(&LMFD, MODE_EXCLUDED); Configure(&RMFD, MODE_EXCLUDED); if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1; SetKBRate(250, 50); SetKBLayout(KB_ENG); //Cursor Axes MapAxis(&Throttle, SCX, DX_X_AXIS); SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCX, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); //LDZ, CDZ, RDZ, Curve, Scale MapAxis(&Throttle, SCY, DX_Y_AXIS,AXIS_REVERSED); SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCY, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Throttle Axes //Left Throttle (4%-100% w/ 65-75 plateau @ 90%) MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_LEFT, DX_THROTTLE_AXIS); SetCustomCurve(&Throttle, THR_LEFT, LIST(0,4, 65,90, 75,90, 100,100)); //Cutoff Stepping MapKey (&Throttle, IDLELON, EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, 82);")); MapKeyR (&Throttle, IDLELON, EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, SET(0));")); //Right Throttle (Same profile as left) MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_RIGHT, DX_Z_AXIS); SetCustomCurve(&Throttle, THR_RIGHT, LIST(0,4, 65,90, 75,90, 100,100)); //Cutoff Stepping MapKey (&Throttle, IDLERON, EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_Z_AXIS, 82);")); MapKeyR (&Throttle, IDLERON, EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_Z_AXIS, SET(0));")); //Button-Driven Axes //Field of View MapKey(&Throttle, MSR, AXIS(DX_XROT_AXIS,-250,10)); MapKey(&Throttle, MSL, AXIS(DX_XROT_AXIS, 250,10)); //Range Knob MapKey(&Throttle, MSU, AXIS(DX_YROT_AXIS,-200,10)); MapKey(&Throttle, MSD, AXIS(DX_YROT_AXIS, 200,10)); //Antenna Elevation MapKey(&Throttle, CHF, AXIS(DX_ZROT_AXIS, 75,10)); MapKey(&Throttle, CHB, AXIS(DX_ZROT_AXIS,-75,10)); //Gear Lever KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 0, AXMAP2(3, DX24, 0, DX5)); //Throttle Handle Binds MapKey(&Throttle, SC, DX1); //Cursor Enable MapKey(&Throttle, MSP, DX2); //Uncage MapKey(&Throttle, SPDF, DX7); //Speedbrake MapKey(&Throttle, SPDB, DX8); MapKey(&Throttle, BSF, DX9); //DGFT/MRM MapKey(&Throttle, BSB, DX10); MapKey(&Throttle, PSF, PULSE+LED(&Throttle, LED_INTENSITY, 0)); //Backlight Control MapKey(&Throttle, PSM, PULSE+LED(&Throttle, LED_INTENSITY, 43)); MapKey(&Throttle, PSB, PULSE+LED(&Throttle, LED_INTENSITY, 86)); MapKey(&Throttle, LTB, DX15); //Slap Switch MapKey(&Throttle, APUON, DX13); //Master Arm MapKey(&Throttle, APUOFF, PULSE+DX14); //Pulse to Allow Sim Use MapKey(&Throttle, LDGH, 'h'); //Gear Horn MapKey(&Throttle, CSU, DX29); //COMM Switch MapKey(&Throttle, CSR, DX30); MapKey(&Throttle, CSD, DX31); MapKey(&Throttle, CSL, DX32); MapKey(&Throttle, FLAPD, DX22); //AVTR Switch MapKey(&Throttle, FLAPU, DX23); MapKey(&Throttle, FLAPM, PULSE+DX3); MapKey(&Throttle, EFLNORM, PULSE+DX4); //Pitot Heat MapKey(&Throttle, EFLOVER, DX16); MapKey(&Throttle, EFRNORM, PULSE+DX18); //Radar Quiet MapKey(&Throttle, EFROVER, DX19); MapKey(&Throttle, EOLIGN, DX11); //MPO MapKey(&Throttle, EORIGN, DX12); //E-J MapKey(&Throttle, EACON, DX20); //Master Lights MapKey(&Throttle, EACOFF, PULSE+DX21); MapKey(&Throttle, RDRNRM, DX25); //Radar Altimeter MapKey(&Throttle, RDRDIS, PULSE+DX6); MapKey(&Throttle, APENG, DX26); //AP L (Cycle) MapKey(&Throttle, APPAT, DX27); //AP R Mode MapKey(&Throttle, APAH, PULSE+DX17); MapKey(&Throttle, APALT, DX28); } //event handler int EventHandle(int type, alias o, int x) { DefaultMapping(&o, x); //add event handling code here }

Sorry guys i forgot to say its just the stick i’m using my x55 throttle. I got the warthog for the CMS hat switch and dual stage trigger also for the better quality.
-
Use the real mapping DMS for DMS, CMS for CMS, etc….
As for the DX19 (CMS “pressed”), I use it to silence Betty whenever I’m being talked at. The VMS Inhibit switch is not far from the stick in the F-16 pit.

Which would be better Saitek pro rudder pedals or CH pedals?

I had CH pedals for about 10 years and they work great. Some people complain about how narrow they are, but I’m 6’2" 200 lbs and never had a problem with them. I bought the saitek combat pedals back in march and love them so far. They are about 6 inches wider and you can adjust the foot rest. I have nothing bad to say about either, it’s up to you on how much you want to spend. Ch cost about $100 and saitek cost me $170.

CH pedals as well (6’4 230 lbs) and they are quite comfortable. My only complaint is mine has a clunk notch about half way through pressing to the left on the rudder axis. They are uninspired gray plastic but built like a Volvo. It would be nice if they gripped the carpet better (smooth bottom) but I put a cardboard box behind it so I can move/tilt the pedals without hitting the back wall.

Thanks again guys I’ll look into both sets and pick the one i like better.
