@mjones and @Quasi_Stellar , I got mine for a week now and it is great, with the only unknown factor being its longevity, especially for the silicone buttons. Unless you intend to build a real cockpit, in which case you should buy an ICP without the DED from other manufacturers, you are going to love it. It made me want to go even further and I I have ordered two MFDs. I hope they run as smoothly as the ICP does.

I believe that there is a bit of miscommunication on this topic, about lasing and buddy lasing. So, to clear this up, from what I understand:
-AI is lasing it’s own target.
-You cannot do buddy lasing with AI, only with humans.

In Config the idle cutoff should be inactive (unticked). It is not for the TM Viper TQS, but for throttles that the axis goes below idle. In our throttle, cutoff is a switch, so your key assignment you have should do the job, as it does for me.
It looks strange though that the AB works in your setup, since it does not seem set correctly to me (in the AL, ingame looks ok).

@b0bl00i said in Lack of ATC response when requesting departure:

When requesting a departure from tower and your takeoff time is in the future, no response is given from the tower, if you ask once more, approval is given for departure.

I would like to suggest that the tower replies something related to planned take off time for the flight, just to inform the pilot. What we have today works, just that it’s a bit hard to understand for newcomers. Adding an extra voice line for this would make it more crisp.

Did ground control authorise the switch to tower, or you did I it without authorisation? In this case try moving closer to the runway.

@Amadeus75 I just checked mine and the DX18 is activated just below idle, as it should be. There is no way I can activate it without pressing the detent, lifting the throttle and pulling it aft. As you describe it, it looks like a hardware issue with your TQS.

Thanks for the replies!

The thing is that I just want to be able to get my simming fix until I get a new throttle, most likely the Viper TQS, if it is as good as it seems. So it is not my intention to invest any time and/or money on my old TQS, other than flying with it. Not to mention that I have no skills for making any modifications myself.

So, when the base arrives, I will try the setup and give you a feedback, for future reference.

Safe flights everyone.

@101-Spyder can you please elaborate on this tool? I am currently using scuapics’ solution, that works great and from the description on the link, I am not sure I understand the difference. Does it allow you to edit the led behavior?

Jus to add to the conversation, a few things that I have noticed as a WW MFD and ICP user:
-For the MFDs the simapp uses RTT in the background, you can see it on the taskbar. From what I understand, the simapp only does the alignment automatically.
-All the keys work W/O the simapp just fine. I only use ALT launcher for keymapping and never had any issues.
-The DED in not a mini LCD monitor, but a dot matrix screen, like the real one. I guess that it uses sharedmem as a text, so it cannot work W/O the simapp.
-I also had the same issue of my graphics settings resetting, but not anymore. For the life of me, I can’t remember changing anything that might have fixed the issue, it just happened. If I remember something, I will post it for others to see. The only thing I remember is momentarily I unselected and reselected the read-only option of the root BMS folder, but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.

@Maverick996 I have a small drift on my Viper TQS micro stick from time to time. It is resolved by making a few circular motions at the extreme position. I have also noticed that if I do this when I have everything connected and before starting BMS, I don’t have any drift. Give it a try and if it doesn’t work, do a recalibration, as @Icarus has suggested.

@Mustafa-Okuyan for the record, HAF does not have a Block 50+ model. It has Blocks 30, 50, 52+, 52+Adv and V. All the 52+ and 52+Adv are being upgraded to V. I guess you mean 52+.

@D_Lourdes I have experimented a lot with the delay setting and although I can see its usefulness, especially if the rotary does not have a press function, it never really worked well for me. After I gave the new setting a try, I never turned back.

For my 2 WW MFD rotaries I use it a bit different setting. I have set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta to 0 so that the 1 and 5 increments are available and the press of the rotary as shift. So, I have the rotary set unpressed for 5 increments for a coarse setting and pressed (shifted) for 1 increment, for fine setting.

@scubapics thanks mate!!!

@scubapics I really appreciate the offer. The thing is that I almost exclusively fly with the PX III/IV models and I have repurposed the TW panel to my personal preferences, that have no connection to the real thing. I would hate to burden someone with my personal likings. Although, I would appreciate if you could point me to a tutorial about the TARGET script editor.

@scubapics I was hoping that it somehow edited the script so we can customise the leds. There some edits that I would like to make myself but I don’t know how.

@scubapics said in ViperTQSLEDSync.exe (User Interface) tool:

@skippermike target gui is Thrustmastee’s app.

Oh yes and given the fact that I run it every time I get to fly BMS, it was a brain fart. I confused it with the ViperTQSLEDSync.exe.

@scubapics said in ViperTQSLEDSync.exe (User Interface) tool:

@suhkoi69 both files are mine. I am Slughead on the DCS forum.

So, now I am more confused about what the tool does.

@suhkoi69 for BMS2TARGET.exe you can look here. For the TargetGUI.exe I don’t know, hence my question to it’s creators.

@scubapics I thought the same at first, but from the authors list I noticed that it uses your BMS2TARGET.exe but the ViperTQSLEDSync.tmc from someone else. So there maybe more to it.

Btw, thanks again for your tool. I found it extremely frustrating to buy such an expensive equipment from TM, that had no support for BMS. Fortunately, now it is solved, thanks to you.
