Trouble Programing A Warthog

[Zenith]

Ive been struggling for a couple of days now (my first weekend of game access) to get my Warthog dialed in (Using TARGET in basic mode).

 

It seems if the command has a SHIFT precursor the game wont recognise the SHIFT, also some commands have a WIN or even a MENU precursor, The WIN i cant seem to assign and i don't even have a MENU key.

 

The WIN and MENU i can work around but if the game cant see any of my precursor/shift states then i really cant bind all the keys i need.

 

Has anyone else had this problem? Have you found a solution?

[Kappone]

Yes, read this topic, from here: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/2486-wart-hog-profile/?p=63224

 

Did not resolved in basic mode but only with script, I'll try to post my profile before the ending of the day.

Thanks Kappone i will keep an eye on your thread.

 

Im just gonna assume that 777 will fix this problem so i can go on programming in the basic of TARGET as im not too up on the coding side and i would rather not have to put the time in to it just for this sim.

 

 

What delay did you find that made the game see the SHIFT before the Character?

It does the same with the alt key as well, I was trying to get flaps up to work yesterday ( programmed through Target).

The game would not recognize the SHFT f command from Target, I changed it to ALT f and it also would not recognize that from Target.

I ended up changing my flaps up command to a single keypress - q - to get it working. I spent a lot of my first access this weekend on this as well, was pulling my hair out.

Hopefully they will get it fixed at some point where the game recognizes these from Target.

 

Btw, you might want to at least have a look at the Advanced GUI, rather than Basic,  in Target for creating your profiles. Gives some more flexibility - like using a modifier ( I assign my paddle as a modifier), and layers ( U/M/D). Increases the flexibility without having to learn the scripting of Target.

My mistake, i DO use the advanced GUI and I use the pinky behind the brake paddle as my shift state. I would rather not have to use the script language if i can help it (haven't needed it so far in many sims).

Ah good deal then - I am with you on the script editor, do not really want to take the time to try and wrap my head around that one, and I have not found a need to as the Advanced GUI does everything I need it to do so far.

 

Here's to hoping 777 finds the solution by correcting it so the game recognizes these inputs from Target.

Hi everybody

 

my first post for the same problem with TARGET in advanced mod for the warthog. Commands with shift, control or alt still no working. Anyone with a good advanced mod profil to see the command ?

 

or just the macro line, thx for all ;)

Welcome aboard!!

 

Fwiw, this appears to be a bug in BOS. I have my Target profile programmed with the default key assignments in BOS, and just work with it best I can, in hopes that here before long in one of the updates this gets corrected.

 

Otherwise, if you want more of an immediate fix, you have couple of options:

Re-assign the key commands that use the combo keys that are not working, or use keyboard in the meantime rather than the Warthog for those commands.

 

Utilize scripting to introduce a delay between the combo key presses so BOS will recognize them, which is what this guy has done I believe:

Hope this helps,

Thanks

 

I'll try a delay and after that i'll change those commands if i need to...

Hi, delays doesn't work either...

Hey guys!  

 

I just bought BOS 2 days ago, working on setting up my WARTHOG Profile and experiencing the same issues with Shift.  Any update over the last 6 months on this?

Unfortunately I don't think the developers are going to do anything about this, it was in a recent DD update where they were answering some questions and this was one of them, only response they gave was maybe it was an issue with certain stick softwares....

It would seem to me this could be fixed in the controller menu by introducing some sort of delay between the two keypresses, but I certainly am not a programmer...

 

I took the time to learn the basics of the TARGET script editor, mainly due to this issue, and put a 50ms delay in the script profile for BOS and that fixed the issue for me.

Alternatively you could just re-assign the commands that are causing you the problem to another key...

Thanks for the comment... I'm currently using the GUI to program--- would delays help there?  

 

After trial and error, I did find a workaround for flaps--- painful but it works:

 

Setting the button press/releases like this:

   - L Shift

   - F

 - Release:

   - F

   - L Shift

 

I haven't done much with the script editor---- does anyone have a 'template' (like there used to be for Foxy when programming the Cougar and old Thrustmaster sticks) they could share that has all the buttons?    Then I can just plug in the syntax for why I'm trying to accomplish.

 

Thanks in advance!

Well, i have a quite complex script file, but i don't think it works as a template.

 

Anyway, the 3 to 0 keys on the keyboard (not those on the numpad) are not used in the default BoS command list, so you can easily assign those keys to your buttons and then assign the flap commands (or other commands which use shift, ctrl etc.) to those keys. Much easier than setting up any delays.

 One of the same here, tried everything from macro to advanced  command on the Saitek program. Some worked some did not. BTW flaps worked,but can't find out what makes some commands work and some not.

 I believe  BoS programmers should fix that.

In war thunder I am able to  assign any command to any button from in game , even changing modes on my X-55 in game an assigning commands to buttons the programm accepts them and recognize it is a different button since it is a different mode !

Since my previous posts, I completely migrated to the script editor.  

 

I had to do a lot of chain commands to get around this.  BOS is the only game where this has been required, but it works.  Hope this helps.

Couple examples below.  Anything where you need to press SHIFT or CTRL or ALT first, you need to press it like a human would, with a slight delay between the modifier and the button and then release the modifier.

 

//    LTB
    MapKeyIO(&Throttle, LTB, 
        CHAIN( DOWN+L_SHIFT, D(), DOWN+'b', D(), UP+'b', UP+L_SHIFT),            //Toggle Boost
        CHAIN( DOWN+L_SHIFT, D(), DOWN+'s', D(), UP+'s', UP+L_SHIFT));            //Toggle Supercharger

Thanks for your input.

 With script editor what do you mean ?  I have thsi advanced command on my X55 software, is it something like that ?
