Release Aussiedroid's Enhanced Thrustmaster Warthog Script

Cluter Fonulique · Feb 5, 2020

Hi,

Just getting back into ED and found this. Looking forward to learning this but something is "plume evading me". I have it downloaded and complied without errors. I know some keys work as I know what they do. However, I am having trouble figuring out what buttons I need to bring up the UI panels (e.g., Nav/target panel, system panel, etc.). I can bring the Nav/target panel up with a "1" and then con navigate with the CMS buttons. I though it might be the "UINested" button ( down on the Sensor selector hat).

I use TARGET GUI on a regular basis and am a little familiar with TARGET scripting.

Anyway what is the noob missing. Thanks,

Hi @Cluter Fonulique

According to the images on his Steam guides page try press and hold modifier [2] (Joystick CMS button press) + Throttle Mic Switch Up, Left, Right or Down.

However, I cannot see any mapping in the script which sends 'TargetPanel', 'CommsPanel', 'RolePanel' or 'SystemPanel', pulses, which are the variables defined in his keymap file.
If/when mapped these would send the 1, 2, 3, 4 keys to the game.

Cheers

HI Clicker,

Thanks for the response. I too couldn't see anything in the scripts that would send those commands., and I didn't see anything in the scripts for "UINested" I was expecting a SEQUENCE type command.

However, I think I may have figured it out. I think he does direct bindings via DX buttons as much as possible. I looked at the key bindings file and it shows the command of J27+J19 for the Nav panel. AND that agrees with the jpg shown on the first page. I knew I was probably just looking in the wrong place.

Thanks for the response.
Salute!

Cool!

Glad you worked it out.
Given time, I "should have" loaded the script and bindings up and tested it myself...I got a bit lazy...sorry.

Hi all,
Bit of an odd request, but since also playing star citizen, i wanted to use the HOSAS setup with ED.
The issue i have is that when running Aussies script, my Warthog and throttle work fine, but it doesnt see my T1600 i use for the left stick.
I just wondered if anyone knew what i need to modify in the script to add the T1600 so i can then manually bind it with ED ?
Im pretty crap with Target and cant work out what i need to do, so any help would be awesome.
Thanks

Clicker · Feb 16, 2020

Hi @OutOfTheLight ,

Aussiedroid's script is written specifically for the Warthog Throttle and Stick.
It would be quite a bit of work to try to include your T16000 as well.

I'm sure he won't mind me plugging the tutorials I wrote as a source of potential assistance.
Whilst also written for the Warthog, I do provide examples on how to modify the script to use the T16000.
There have also been a couple of contributors to that thread who use T16000 and have posted the modifications they used.

Check my signature for the link.

Cheers

OutOfTheLight · Feb 16, 2020

Hi Clicker,
Yeah, i thought it might be. Guess i was hoping for an easy way to at least allow the T1600 to be recognized whilst running his script as it doesnt even light up, but totally understand your comment.
Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for providing your pips script on another thread. Im actually running that and all is good.
Cheers

Clicker · Feb 17, 2020

I see...in the .tmc file, find the line that looks like

Configure(&T16000, MODE_EXCLUDED);

...and change “MODE_EXCLUDED” to “MODE_KEEPENABLED”, or "MODE_FILTERED"

See if that helps.
By rights, you should be able to get into Options|Controller in game and bind your T16000 to whichever axis/function you wish....be careful you don’t clobber something that you want the script to keep control over.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Clicker,
You are an absolute hero.
That seems to have sorted it.
Thanks for your help mate, really appreciated.

Can i get some setup help please, i have just purchased a warthog set inc peddles but things are not working in elite with the script,

i have installed into elite bindings, and followed the scritp setup.

But when i use the script test, only the keyboard is working, and in elite the Aussi settings only keyboard commands show up, I have tested the joystick/throttle and both work correctly.

Thanks

Clicker · Mar 20, 2020

Hi @Devil,

Can you please confirm each of the following;

Your Thrustmaster WARTHOG Hotas drivers were all installed ok
Thrustmaster TARGET software installed ok
Open TARGET GUI. Which version of the software are you running (Top right corner of window) . should be v3.0.18.328
Click the "Get Firmware" link for both the Throttle and Joystick and advise what versions you have for each...should be Joystick = FW: 12, Throttle = FW: 23
Confirm you copied the .bind file to the correct directory (something like; C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings)
Confirm you have loaded AussieDroid's script into TARGET Script Editor and clicked "Compile" and got no errors.
Confirm you selected "Run" in TargetScript Editor, no errors (= "main returned 0")...then started Elite Dangerous (leaving the script running)
Once Elite starts, confirm you went into Options|Controls and are able to select Aussiedroid's bindings profile from the dropdown

If everything above is confirmed, then things should be working correctly in game.

If anything above is out of place, or, if you are unsure of anything, please post additional information on any errors seen or what you are unsure about.

Cheers
Clicker

Hi Clicker.

So this is as far as ive got so far, in the device tester, everything works, joystick, throttle and peddels, Shows Thrustmaster combined.

i have selected the profile in elite, and then go into a training event to test. throtttle works, then it asks to puch joystick up and down, that works but roll fails, it keeps saying [joy4] + [joy23}

tested in the combat training, when i use the joystick it yaws instead of rolls, peddles dont work, again all works in the device testing...

Thanks for the help

Cluter Fonulique · Mar 20, 2020

Hi Clicker and Devil,

I am having a somewhat similar problem. Up until the other day it was working fine. Now when I run and compile, everything looks fine, but the Aussiedroid's bindings do not show up in the Options/Control menu. It did the other day and it is in the Local directory. Any clues.

Here is a copy of my latest TARGET run output. I have no clue as to why I have the bolded lines, but they have worked before. I have also updated .NET frame

Thanks,
Clutter

Ok, cool....looks like it's working as designed.
It is my understanding that out of the box, the x-axis on the joystick is set to yaw, not roll.

Take a look in the usersettings file.
I'm not at my home PC so cannot check right now, but I think there may be a setting to make x-axis roll.
I also seem to recall if you press S4 whilst moving the joystick it may roll (I could be wrong about this as I've been across about a dozen different people's script just lately)

When I'm at home, I'll check this out and report back here.

Also, which pedals do you have...I can then guide you on how to get them working.

Note: If you ever change any settings or variables in the script files provided, please be sure to save+recompile+run to ensure no errors.

Aussiedroid's script is certainly extensive and will require time and patience to master.
Start with familiarising yourself with his Steampage and the usage maps provided.

Dont be afraid to come back with more questions and we'll do our best to get you going.

Thanks Clicker. so first of many to come questions.

Where do i start looking in the script, to change yaw to roll for the joystick, and then add that to the pedals ?? I assume as everything works correctly in the device tester, its a script issue.

I have 3 days off work, so going to atempt to learn and alter the script... for my setup. the pedals i have are the thrustmaster TPR pendular rudder pedals.

Thanks

The x-axis of the joystick is set to yaw as a default in the bindings file. You change this, and the rudder pedals in the binding file itself. Open the game/options and find the roll and yaw settings. Then change the roll to the x-axis by click on the field and moving the joystick. Do the same for the rudder pedals and Yaw.

You can also directly edit the Bindings file (via notepad++)> I had to do this because I wanted to change the Thrusters Up, Down < left, and Right to better suit what I am used to.

Cluter Fonulique · Mar 21, 2020

@Clicker - Any guess as to why the binding file isn't showing up in my case. the script seems to load fine (see message above).

Thanks,
Clutter

Clicker · Mar 21, 2020

Check bindings folder for an error message after loading the game.

If the script isn't running when you start the game, or you have a controller not present that a bind depends on then ED can throw an error and the profile won't be available.
