Thrustmaster HOTAS T-Flight Configuration
« on: November 14, 2012, 07:47:19 AM »
I'm interested in seeing what everyone's button configuration is for this stick/throttle. Im still trying to figure out what works good.

As of right now, this is what i have:

Stick:
Trigger - Fire All
Hat Switch - Views
L1 - Fire Secondary
L3 - WEP
R3 - Zoom

Throttle:
Rocker - Brakes
L2 - Flaps down
R2 - Flaps up
5 - Look Up
6 - Transmit Channel
7 - Transmit Range
8 - Transmit Vent
(The next 2 are on the throttle base)
SE - Damage List
ST - Landing Hook (always forget the button combo)

Thanks,
Troopr

Pretty much the same but I map the rocker to my head position so I can look around canopy obstructions and away from the sun.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Stick:
Trigger - Fire All
Hat Switch - Views
L1 - Range Vox
L3 - look Up
R3 - Channel Vox

Throttle:
Rocker - Nothing
L2 - Flaps down
R2 - Flaps up
5 - View 1
6 - View 2
7 - WEP
8 - Gear
(The next 2 are on the throttle base)
SE - Damage List
ST - Clipboard Toggle (I leave E6B up and can quickly look at fuel situation)

I rarely use anything on the throttle execpt for the 7 and the ST buttons. For awhile I had 2 of these joysticks at the same time, but I only used the second one when I flew twin engined aircraft. I had each throttle mapped to seperate engines. Was good fun but crowded my desk to much.

I'm having trouble setting the rocker to use as my rudder control.  Everytime I map it there, nothing happens.  I've tried recalibrating both in game and in windows. Any ideas?

need to lock the twisty part of the stick down with the screw on the bottom if you haven't done that yet. make sure the stick is centered when you do that. did you assign it as the rudder input in the game? can't remember which axis that is...

Set the switch on the front to PC.  Or PS3, whichever.  When set to PS3 the rocker on the throttle goes to the same output as the twisty part.
