Post by: gpwurzel on June 19, 2011, 11:17:15 AM

When I was using the saitek x52 throttle (now using CH pro throttle), I had the profiler set it up like this:

Scroll wheel button was Shift, scroll wheel did nothing; Hat switch was coolie, shifted was slew; E was autopilot (left throttle button); D was close speedbrake, shifted was open; the I wheel was set with bands for the boat switch; I was CMS press down; mouse button was PAC; mouse hat was set with bands for china hat, shifted was mic switch

Since you just bought it, you may not have understood any of those controls. I recommend you spend at least a couple days getting comfortable with the Warthog's basics before you try mapping buttons. Mapping axis' however is of course a must do.

I'm pretty decent at using the Hog's systems, so if you have any questions I'll more than likely be able to help you out.

I have a question, is DCS-10 a full simulation in that all systems are simulated?

As far as I know only a couple maintenance systems are left out, and the DCS radio system is built such that the encryption device does not work.

How is the multiplayer interface? Do you need an outside program
to connect to other players or have to punch in ip's at all?
I had lomac and that turned me away from the rest of them as far
as trying to get multiplayer to work smooth without falconlobby
