My friend who is trying to get into BMS has a T.16000M, throttle and stick. Has a hard time using Target , can't blame him, does he need the Target software to map buttons on his HOTAS in Bms ? I have Ch stick, throttle and pedals and I only use CH Control Manager to calibrate my stuff and make it a one device, that's it, the mapping buttons I do it in BMS and it works

Can he do the same without Target, he does not need to have sixty key to be map just the basic

Thanks, Marc..

TARGET or any keymaper software use is optional in "modern" CFS (2000+), most games allow just select a function in game controls GUI and assign a given joy/throttle button.

Of course TARGET (and similar) allow do tricks, like overcome the "realistic" detailed cold start with one button press that trigger an script...

But if the guy don't know how use properly, neither want study manual, TARGET more hinder than help.

BTW - T.16000M FCS + TWCS has more axes (4 + 5) than "target combined device" support = 8, is need exclude one axes, e.g. joy base slider.
