Hi all,
I've attached the configuration file that includes all the custom datarefs that I use with my TM Warthog and some standard commands. I use XJoyMap for all custom commands.
See chart below for how I mapped them in X-plane. You can map these as you please, but I find this layout to be quite efficient. Furthermore some switches are based on the how the physical switches on the TM Throttle operate, but as the config file contain a lot of different button-layouts, feel free to experiment. Any ideas on how to improve would be greatly appreciated
Some controls have been taken away from the chart and config file as they're not needed on a 733 (such as prop sync, micture axis etc).
Controls with "(O)" behind them,are using original X-plane commands and can be found under regular advanced buttons.
I'll add these later when I figure out how to back up the bindings from X-plane itself.
The TM Joystick use datarefs already configures by IXEG (such as flaps), and some other commands (X-camera, trim etc) so I excluded these for now.
xjoymap.ini contains all customs controls
Comments.txt contains all custom datarefs from IXEG and the documentation from XJoyMap devs.
I highly recommend using Notepad++ for editing the files!
Challenges/Problems:
Mapping Keyboard commands does not work. It will work until you restart X-plane. Then it renames the command and it stops working.
I've not been able to combine commands yet. Tried every logical combination there is. Any suggestions you might have, please share!
Warthog Chart:
Hello! My first post and my first encounter with the X-plane community. This is going to be fun!
I've installed X-plane a couple of weeks ago in order to get ready for the 733. In the beginning, it was quite hard to figure out the different concepts used in X-plane as they often differ from the way things are done in Prepar3d. Two weeks have passed, tons of pages read, a vast number of forums visited and I'm really starting to understand why things are done in a certain manner and the value it brings to our simulation.
Using the 733 has been a joy from the start. Yes, there are some minor bugs and glitches but all fade away when I turn off the Autopilot and manually fly this wonderful simulation. Nothing surpasses the feeling of having all your confidence stripped away when trying to land in Norway during a winter storm. Never ever have I experienced anything like this in a simulator before!
Outstanding work Gentlemen!
So over to my first of probably many questions to come:
In the Interface guide PDF, there are several custom controls that are listed. Mapping these was surprisingly simple, and I can now use my Thrustmaster Hotas for the most common controls needed. There are however more controls listed underneath in the same document for "more advanced users" that I would certainly like to map as well. How do I configure X-plane to use these controls? Are there any information or general documentation on the subject? I have read some SDK-info and are starting to figure out how the logic behind the mapping is done, but I'm struggling to find out how one configures controllers to the custom controls within the simulator itself.
Any advice or "pointing me in the right direction" would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Torbjørn
