How to get the T.A.R.G.E.T. software for TM Warthog?

[Bassie_c]

Hello guys,

I just unboxed my new Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog and I have heard a lot about the TARGET software that comes with it. You can use it to change your settings and axis etc.
However, I have no idea how to get the T.A.R.G.E.T. software. Can I download it somewhere?
I plugged both my stick and my throttle in my desktop, but just some simple drivers installed and no TARGET sofware or anything like it. So my question is: How do you get the T.A.R.G.E.T. software?
Thanks for all your help!

Kind regards,

Bassie_c

Not to be snarky here but did it occur to you to look for it on the publisher's (Thrustmaster) website? Or do any kind of googling first?

Usually you don't need it unless making macros and stuff.

Just configure axis and so in DCS options -> controls and you are set.

In the defence of target (which I don't use^^), you can bind stuff in a way you would be unable to do otherwise. For example set state for one of the 2 or 3 way switches which you can use to change the layout of the whole joystick. (Think modifier) Plus a ton of other macro stuff.

So who ever has the time, nerves and know how (scripting etc.) to work with target, go ahead, but for the casual it's way better to simply bind everything ingame.

You don't really need it, unless you want to do switch to keyboard inputs.

Thank you! I did some google searches, but I couldn't find any download link.
Your link worked though, and I have T.A.R.G.E.T. now installed.

And all of the other guys, thanks for your advice!

TARGET kicks ass. Most people who know like it don't know how to really use it. But with an hour or so of learning, you can do some really awesome things with the software. Let me know if you need help with TARGET scripts OP.
