Warthog - joystick - trim

[javelina]

Hi group,

 

just a couple comments & questions.

 

I've managed to map the joystick function ok, within BoS.   What I find is that I have to push down on my joystick, to get the Aircraft to fly level.  So I attempted to map the Warthog "trim" switch, went into BoS, found the trim functions, and clicked on the switch.  It appears things are mapped ok.

 

But when I enter the sim, and am flying about, there's no trim working from that switch.  Is it because that trim switch has a couple keystroke functions, and thus aren't getting passed through correctly?

 

 

I've never used TARGET, but I've read a bit of the manual, and do understand programming.  I went and pulled a profile from here, http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/2486-wart-hog-profile/?p=63224    Loaded it up in TARGET,  but when I use the profile, I have no control over my joystick pitch or roll.  Nothing....  I exit the sim, and have TARGET shutoff the profile, and then going back into the sim, the pitch and roll work...

 

If I invoke a profile via TARGET, and then start up the sim, do I need to make further edits within the BoS's control settings?  (I understand TARGET creates some virtual controllers).

 

any insight would be appreciated.

 

thanks,

ps. I've been only flying the 109

I flew the Stuka, and was able to get the Pitch trim to work, (without target).   Maybe something up with the 109.

I'm not sure,but I think on the 109 the Trim is called Stabilizer. It is seperate option in the Control setup.

thanks, I'll check it out!

I can find pitch, roll, and yaw.   I have the pitch and roll set to use the Warthog's pitch & roll trim switch.  Unfortunately, the roll trim of that switch doesn't appear to work, though the pitch trim works fine on the Stuka.  But when I invoke pitch, the pitch will work in the correct direction I want, but it also starts a gradual drift into a left turn, no matter if I pitch trim up or down.....

 

rats....  this sim looks great, but I hate having to battle my controls.  (Yep, I know it's alpha code, so no worries...  it'll all sort it's self out.  especially with the amount of Warthog users out there).  :-)

Go to controls and map the same controls you use for pitch pitch trim to Adjustable Stabilsor, which the BF109 uses, also unlike other A/C it can also be mapped to an axis

 

Different systems but using same keys for when flying different A/C types

thanks buddy, will do.  appreciate the help!

I had the same challenge.....in the BF109 you have to also map the Adjustable Stabilizers on the Trim Knob..... don´t worry, you won´t get any conflicts if you double map the pitch trim knob.

 

Best
