Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Hotas Help

[bazmo69]

Ok have spent about 4 hours trying to solve this so figured I would ask for some help.

I'm trying to have the joystick left and right function on the stick control the legs and the rocker on the throttle control the torso. The same setup I used all those decades ago for the early Mechwarrior games...

I tried setting it in the game itself using all of the different axis options for the throttle but if you set the joystick to move the legs none of the options work...

I tried to find some guides to remap the hotas file but that has nearly done my brain in.

LOL I'm having the same damn problem and just posted an identical question. I also can't get the rudders to work at all. It's incredibly frustrating. Right now I am using the two buttons behind the rocker to turn the legs left and right. Not really comfortable with it though.

Let me know if you find anything. I will use the buttons for now so thanks that's better than just not playing.

I had a similar issue, and it took a couple of hours head scratching to fix. I use the Y-axis on the joystick to control forward/backwards throttle and the X-axis to rotate the legs.

To get the legs to work I needed to both set the Y-Axis in game to be Axis 1 in the mapping file, and invert the axis direction in the same file.

1. Navigate to 'C:\Users\<your user name> \AppData\Local\MW5Clans\Saved\SavedHOTAS'
2. Look for the 'HOTASMappings.Remap' file.
3. Look for the line starting ;AXIS: InAxis=HOTAS_YAxis' and replace this line with the following 'AXIS: InAxis=HOTAS_YAxis, OutAxis=Joystick_Axis1, Invert=TRUE, Offset=0.498039, DeadZoneMin=-0.3, DeadZoneMax=0.3, MapToDeadZone=TRUE'

Note in that last line both 'Invert' is set to 'TRUE' and that 'Offset' has a positive value, rather than a negative one like the non-inverted axes in the file show. (That was what took me an age to figure out).

Not tried using the Throttle rocker to rotate, but I'd try by remapping the throttle RZ_axis ('IN axis') to a named 'Out' axis in the game. And you may need to invert as above.

Once you swap it, what # Axis do you set the legs and torsos at?

[Lobstris]

I'm using these:

Joystick Leg Rotation Axis = Joystick Axis 2
Joystick Throttle Axis = Joystick Axis 1

THRUSTMASTER T.16000M Joystick Mapping
I used the following for my single joystick: THRUSTMASTER T.16000M Joystick. Same exact file used for MW5:Mercs and MW5:Clans.

1) Make sure that you turn on admin privileges and enable hidden folders

2) File folder location:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\MW5Clans\Saved\SavedHOTAS

3) Use text editor to paste the following into

4) There are some REM statements to explain a little bit. Note that this enables the slider on the joystick to serve as movement forward and backwards.

5) This is not my code, rather it was gratefully spurred by:
