RE: How many of us dont acually fly bms that much?
I try to get one flight in a day, usually at night when wife and young baby are sleeping.

RE: X-55 would like profile that doesn't use mouse cursor
I noticed that the shift+TMS button slews your radar as well. This isn’t really needed with how things are currently mapped. I would love if shift+TMS up/down increased/decreased FCR range, and left/right changed Azimuth. I don’t know what I’m doing though with the mapping thing.
Is there any chance you could make this minor changes? Shift DMS up = AA mode and Shift DMS down = AG mode would be awesome as well.

RE: HTS and TGP
It would be great if we could have the HAD designate target on the hud regardless of weapon selected. CCIP a CBU on a SAM would be awesome.

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
How would I edit it, since you can’t save it in the UI?

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
It is almost for certain that your PC and hardware configuration are not matching the device order as explained in documentation, your rudder most likely mixed them up. Once configured it does not matter if you unplug it, the next devices will be added accordingly in windows i.e.
I assume in windows all buttons respond , i.e. in hardware device?
What specific type of key file did you load in BMS?
What excact respond does throttle buttons give in BMS UI?
Did you try to understand the documentation?, because it probably holds the solution to your misconfig.I read all the documentation. I just disconnected the rudder pedals and it worked fine. I’ll just use the twist grip until I can find time to reorder things.
Thanks for the profile. It would be awesome for those with track IR to use the hat for views to change waypoints and cycle hardpoints. Perfect then

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
Cam I make one suggestion? Maybe a Shift TMS UP for the AA on the ICP, and Shift TMS Down to Cycle A/G weapons?

Hhhhmmm,
Can I assume you have the current drivers loaded? Saiteks seem finicky about drivers.
Can you map the throttle axis?
You mention rotary one, is rotary 2 working?
Are you by chance trying to run through a USB hub? If so, try direct to pcI am running current drivers, BUT the first time I installed them I had already plugged joysticks in. Second time I re-ran the exe with them unplugged and waited for the prompt to plug them in. I didn’t delete the drivers first, just reinstalled over them. Still not working, so going to try deleting, unplugging, installing, then plugging them in.
I’m able to map the throttle axis but only after selecting down or side to side for the yaw and roll deadzone. Most recent attempt couldn’t map those to any other position. Sold my Warthog for a bit of cash and these, because I feel they’re better suited for the F16. Frustrating. No usb hubs. Rotary G is detected and works in game for radar elevation. Rotary F can be mapped, but doesn’t affect radar range. FCR, specifically….which I’m wondering if it should or just HSD?
OH…I also have Saitek rudder pedals which I have not unplugged. That just gave me an ah-ha moment. I wonder if the DX is set for 1&2 and by leaving my pedals plugged in the throttle is being assigned to #3?
EDIT: That’s what it was. Detecting throttle keys now, must have been too many saitek controllers plugged in wrong order.

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
The key inputs on my flight stick match what they’re supposed to do. The button in the CMS position does slapswitch, the gray hat does DMS, etc. However none of the buttons on the throttle seem properly mapped. The sim recognizes their input, but they’re not tied to specific functions. Also had a hard time mapping my axis, I couldn’t unmap pitch and roll from my throttle. Restarted everything and it freed that up, but my top rotary won’t map as an axis to radar range. I can tweak that stuff later, but the DX file doesn’t link itself to my throttle, just my joystick. Really weird.

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
Everything works good on my stick, but nothing works on my throttle.

RE: Radar Slew now requires shift?
Is there any way to increase the slew speed on FCR alone?

Default head position change?
I’ve looked through the manual, but can’t find if it is possible to customize the default position of your head in the cockpit while using TIR. I would like it a little above the ICP, and a bit forward, but can’t find if this is possible. My setup doesn’t really allow for me to cheat the system by centering my TIR in a naturally lower position because I’ve built a simpit, and don’t have a lot of room to move.
Thanks in advance.

TIR Profiles
Is there a go-to profile for BMS that the majority of people use?
Can’t quite get mine right.
Thanks.

RE: I AM NEW ON F4 BMS- What is the best JOYSTICK for me COUGAR or WARTHOG ??
Thrustmaster needs to get it together and offer their stuff independently. So you can use a cougar with a warthog stick. I have a feeling they’ll be launching an F18 stick with DCS as well…

RE: Cool photo of asymmetric loadouts
Wasn’t this kind of the idea with Spitfires having a black wing in WWII? http://s215.photobucket.com/user/WWIIRAFPilot/media/HoodCatt1.jpg.html

RE: Morphine's Profile
Ok, I don’t know what I did, but it fixed itself. I wonder if I had a brainfart and didn’t run TARGET or something.
Anyways, is there a command to narrow the radar scan for AA? Also, is there a HOTAS command for selecting A-A mode, instead of having to hit the ICP?

RE: Morphine's Profile
I can’t get this to behave realistically at all. The pinky switch only zooms, there is dogfight mode on the hats, and throw in an air brake there too.
What am I doing wrong? I’m running the target program and warthog_dx.key file in game.
