...need help smile

Thrustmaster HOTAS X

Better than nothing, right?

Anyone got a EECH profile for this?

How do install profiles?

Any advice would be appreciated, about ANYTHING to do with this thing.


Thanks all

PS, Im just off the the Hardware forum, see if there´s anything there.

ok troops, here´s my problems straight out of the box and into EECH. Hope you guys can help.

Into Controller set up.

As I click on Cyclic and Collective boxes they auto change to HOTAS. That´s good.

Throttle is assigned to joystick twist, not good. It´s always set on 50%, how do I change it? Or cancel it?

In the cfg file I have this:
throttlen=0 # Joystick no. for the engines throttle
throttleax=6 # Joystick DirectX axis for the engines throttle

I´m thinking I want the throttle to always be at max. How do I do that?

That´senough for now, if I can get some free flight going on I´ll be happy for a while.

thanks smile

I've never used a HOTAS, but I used the advanced search and found this, not sure if it's any help...

Thanks messyhead (or MH, as you will now be known smile )
Yep, seen that before, but it doesn´t hurt to read it again, thanks bro, appreciated, keep em coming smile

I´m ok with set up and operation of HOTAS stuff, I used to have a Cougar, but EECH is so non user friendly in that respect.

Heheh, title of the thread was "HOTAS just arrived".
Now it´s " HOTAS being sent back to Amazon for replacement"

I used it for a couple of hours then it just died on me.

But yeah, thanks MH. :thumbsup
