Winwing HOTAS Mapping

In a quest to use my current Throttle and Joystick, I found lots of information on Thrustmaster and Logitech hardware, but nothing for Winwing. I was having issues with mapping the throttle on my Orions because MW5 does not recognize RX and RY mappings. These are my Axis settings to get the throttle to function. You can copy and paste my settings, just make sure to change the VID/PID to your devices address.

Mapped controls

Here are the controls I have mapped for Winwing Orion Throttle and Joystick. You can copy and paste to a text document, then save in the game file under "C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Local\MW5Mercs\Saved\SavedHOTAS\HOTASMappings.Remap"

I would make a copy on a separate document of your original settings. Be sure to change the VID/PID addressing to match your hardware. You can find your device addressing in Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers. Right click your controller and click "Properties", move to the Hardware tab at the top, select HID-compliant game controller and click the properties button. It will open another window, select the Details tab at the top, then go to the drop down menu and select "Hardware Ids". Your VID/Pid will be displayed in the text window. For example:

HID\VID_4098&PID_BEA1&REV_0113
HID\VID_4098&PID_BEA1
HID\VID_4098&UP:0001_U:0004
HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_GAME
HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0004
HID_DEVICE

My device is 4098 (this is the brand ID) and the ID is BE62 (this is the individual device ID), it will be different for you, and you have to find both for your Joystick and Throttle. One flaw I found is in SimAppPro, you have to disable the four toggles on the throttle settings page, don't forget to turn them back on when switching to MSFS of DCS. Be sure to assign all controls in the menus before starting a game, if you try to do it in-game, you'll get a "throttle hat" that auto programs to that function. It will take some back and fourth to get all the settings in order. Happy hunting.

does this work with a microsoft sidewinder precision 1?

This sort of worked for my WINWING Orion throttle. However when I push the throttle forward it works, but pulling the throttle back does nothing. I have to use the S key to slow down or stop. Anybody else having this problem?

Thanks so much for sharing this. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the toggle switches in the SimAppPro software. There are no options for the four switches on the top of the throttle base to adjust. Could you point me in the right direction?
