Button Layout Pics:
An Overlay you can print out and place over your throttle see instructions in the post below.
TLDR: Instructions:
- Download the files from the dropbox. The popular paddle swap version of the profile is included.

-
Copy BMS 437 Morphine Full.key and Falcon BMS User.CFG into the BMS / User / Config folder.
-
Start Morphine BMS 437.tmc in Target.
-
Start The BMS Launcher and select Launch without any setup override.
-
Click Ok
You will have to keep this selected at all times! If you don’t the launcher will overwrite your settings including the devicesorting.
-
Load the profile in Game
-
Exit the Game and edit the DeviceSorting.txt file So that the thrustmaster combine is at the top and the Cougar MFDs are in this order.
Then add the following line of code
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 512
to the file falcon bms.cfg or Falcon BMS User.cfg
-
Keep “Launch without any setup override” selected / checked, and relaunch the game. Then go back into the settings and select the Thrustmaster Combine as your controller
-
Hit the “Advanced” Button to setup the Flight Controls
And Then Setup Avionics
At this point the profile should be working.
Had you just set up everything in the launcher, you probably all ready by RTB twice and about 3 beers deep.
But you’re a stubborn bastard, and now you get to spend the next hour and half just trying figure out why the profile isn’t working for you.
If you have to spend more then 15 mins to get this profile or Target to work, you’re better off just using the launcher to configure everything.
I just happen to like the layout. So for the ride or die Morphine’s people, I cleaned up and commented the Keyfile, and the target profile.
I also tweaked the curves on the slew nub. If you wish to change the curve or sensitivity, the comments in the target file will be helpful.
Changing the magnitude of the pinky shift to 512 was necessary because of BMS now supports 128 DX buttons per joystick. If we had not done this, the shift buttons would have conflicted with the Cougar MFD’s. If you have other DX devices if you may have conflicts.
If you all ready have items in your Falcon BMS User.cfg file, you can just add the line.
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 512 to the file
Kidding aside I do like the profile and some of the virtual axis, ect. However, with every version of BMS there are less free keys available.
Sooner or later, It would be easier to recreate this profile using DX keys. I’ve seen an interesting approach on the DCS boards that may allow us to take this profile beyond the 32 DX limit of target. Which would greatly simplify updates. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/144048-thrustmaster-combined-full-dx-mapping-extending-the-32-dx-buttons-limit/
edit: updated target files to fix master arm.
