Hello all
I just got a Thrustmaster Warthog and the throttle doesn't work in F4 BMS. Even though I've read the manual, I still have no idea on how to use TARGET. Any ideas.
Thanks for your help.

Well, one, you don't neeeeeed to use TARGET to use the Warthog, but it can unlock special features that you can't get otherwise (off-idle naturally).

Normally to use a controller in BMS you select your primary X-Y flight stick controller in the drop down menu in the BMS/F4 options then specify other axes from other controllers in the extra area that has range knob, antenna elevation, left brake, right brake, throttle, right throttle, etc.

Might I suggest using Morphine's profile for the Warthog?

Hi ICE,
Thanks for your reply. I haven't found Morphine's profile yet. I'll keep looking. I'm new at this--I don't know how to load a T.A.R.G.E.T. profile, let alone write one.

Thanks again.

Bill

barebill, click on my link on my post above biggrin

With that profile, you do not need to write anything. Just follow the instructions and you're good to go! And loading a profile is easy, if you can't figure it out after downloading the profile, I can walk you through it.

BTW, here is the DIRECT LINK to the profile page.

Hope that helps!

I'm beginning to feel pretty damned stupid here. I can't find the damned profile download link. I found the profile page and it's outstanding. I know the link's right in front of my face.
Thanks for everything thing. It's good to know I'm not alone out here.

Glad to have helped. The first link is the text "Morphine's profile," but I did not highlight that line so it's quite difficult to find... unless you put your mouse over the text.
