Thrustmaster Hotas fcs t16000m config
Hey there, here is a version of config I use.
It includes config file and pdf with controlls that are used.
Based on ZME_Matchsticks' config. Thanks Bro ;)

*EDIT* Could you please explain the throttle speed control? Looks like you're using layers but I can't seem to figure it out with the nested AXMAPing. I'd like to have a crack at this as it's the best I've used but I can't decrease all the way to zero.

Thanks for uploading this. I recent purchased the same HOTAS and although I wasn't expecting to dust off my java skills to use my new toy, it wasn't so bad once I got back into it. I too have a nice custom setup and will be sharing it as well. I think I will start a thread that has a compilation of these so those in the future don't have to go through the same hassels. Thanks again!

Unfortunately I'm not advanced enough to use my own scripts so I'm only relaying on TARGET software and it does not allow to cut throttle slide into more pieces than 30 (that is how I understand it). ZME_Matchstick set it like this so I left it since it was closest to what I was aiming for. It's even worse in WCIII:( So I guess I'll have to learn how to program scripts.
That is why added slider to full/null throttle next to analog. No idea how to set 8way hat to looking around cockpit since TARGET allows only 4way hat on joystick and the same on throttle. Sad thing.

You are able to split the inputs into more than 30 intervals but the game's throttle control splits it into ~36. If you look at the in-game GUI and just go from 0% to 100% throttle you can just count throttle the bars. I've noticed that this throttle config has timing limitations as well. Not bad by any means but you can't move the throttle too quickly or it loses calibration.

Regardless, I will upload my custom script config in a separate thread. Try it out if you are so inclined. I've included a .PDF mapping file as well as the mapping template for future games. I was able to add a 50% throttle and could add other percentages but at that point, I would rather just have a true analog throttle control. Note that my config does not have the throttle timing issue so one can throw the throttle around as fast one likes without disrupting the calibration. It also uses the slew sensor to look around the cockpit. It's not perfect but I was surprised as to how well I eventually got the slew sensor POV to work. You may find it useful.

As for mapping the 8-way hat, you have to use the scripting language and use the DirectX Mapping calls. I read about this in a thread recently (sorry - can't find the URL) so it can be done. Personally, I find the hats too sensitive for these types of button presses but if you want to get the most out of the HOTAS, you are better off learning to muck around in the scripts. If you have no programming exerpeince, flip through (don't try to memorize) the T.A.R.G.E.T. manual and take a look at one of your GUI config files via the GUI T.A.R.G.E.T. software (there's a button to do this). This will allow you to see the basics of how buttons are assigned, axis mapping, etc.

Thanks again for posting this. I may reach out to ZME_Matchstick. Cheers!

:) so happy there is something going on with the profiles. Actually I did not mention this but ZME_Matchstick made 2 profiles and in the second profile he did exactly the same thing you did - splitting throttle into 4 settings:) I just found it to "limiting", yeah I know, sound a bit dumb. He (or maybe she? ) did not map the POV though. Great job! ;)

Thanks, I appreciate it. I agree - i's nice to know people are still paying attention to this stuff and still colaborating to make it work. To each his own on the throttle settings you know what I mean? I'm just glad other folks have foudn something they enjoy. I tried calabrating the settings given in the profile and although I was able to get it pretty damn close, I couldn't get it 100% calibrated. For the record, I just added a few extra 'PULSE+'\\' ' to decrease the amount by which the throttle increased. Good luck!
