Editable button layout templates for Virpil T-50 Throttles and Grips

EDIT 2019-05-12: New versions for all templates based on feeback from the DCS forum.

 

I just got my VPC T-50 Throttle version 2 - and I love it When starting all these complex mappings of buttons for different sims / planes I really like to have them on a layout map that I can save and update when I change them. And then print to have on the desktop.

 

I could not find any templates for the T-50 throttle V2 or the T-50 CM2 Grip. The original ones where in PDF from the manual - and I want to be able to edit the document and then save it... I edited the original VPC PDF:s for v1 with LibreOffice Draw (free open source office solution). The throttle was more "editable" but I realized that I really did a complete refresh of the whole template as there where things with the layout that I did not like...

 

So for anyone that likes to have a file to save and print with the layouts - here are my templates in .odg format (Open Office Draw). Just download Libre Office and edit away with the "Draw" application.

 

I did four versions (Throttle V1 and V2, grip original and CM2)

You might need the font Bahnschrift that I don't know if it comes with Windows / Libreoffice or similar:

NOTE: For the Throttle maps the numbers on the maps for the buttons that have names on the actual unit are the ones displayed next to the text field. For the other buttons it is the "Windows name" of the button that is displayed in the small white boxes with red text (not the Virpil physical ID of the button). For the sticks all the numbers are the "windows numbers". That is the number that will show up in the DCS config for example as "Button 25" when you click some joystick button - thought that would be good to be able to see if the map is correct...

Mazex, I think your templates are some of the best!  I recently upgraded from an original MT50 Throttle to a CM3.  Do you have a template for the CM3 or CM2 that's available?

 

Thanks,

Thanks!

 

There are updated versions of the templates that I have posted over in the DCS forums - https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/206004-editable-button-layout-templates-for-t-50-throttles-and-grips/

 

From that a version for the CM2 - and new versions of the ones above for CM1
