TM T16000m HOTAS setup

[wirehack7]

Hello community,

I'm really new to this game and bought also a Thrustmaster T16000M setup, as it was somehow recommended by players as a good beginners system.
As I'm also new to hardcore flightsims, has anybody maybe a setup for TARGET or could advice me some good button configuration for the game and the T16000M HOTAS?
On the Thrustmaster website I find only a config for the joystick without the throttle stick.
As I'm really new to that all I just want to play a bit and get some experience, then I will configure all properly by myself. But without own experience it's kinda hard to know which action might be important to bind etc.

So thanks in advance for any setup, config or guidance.

When I started off i was in a similar position.

The straight forward answer ; you will have to learn to map the controls yourself.

There is no default mapping because most of the planes have different functionality around engine controls, oil and water radiators etc.

Simply start by mapping the basics to the stick, roll,(left/right) pitch (up/down) and yaw (rudder left/right).

Then map the engine throttle to the throttle etc.... etc.

Fire guns to trigger, rockets/bombs to thumb as well as reload and aim focus. As you become more familiar witth functionallity, you can then consider mapping functions to other buttons on your HOTAS.

It might seem daunting at first but you willl slowly get the hang of it.

It is important to learn to map controls as you may need to remap controls frequently if you are moving between planes.

This is a sim, its complex, mapping controls is pretty simple, there are other far more complex elements to the game. You need to clear this simple hurdle before you can start to reaally learn the game and ultimatelly enjoy it.
