BTW, i just finished my F4 SP3 programming. If anyone wants a copy of my joystick & macro files & graphic layout - let me know.

Sure would! And if you have profiles for anything else, I'll take those off your hands too :lol:
BTW, thx for the offer; I have Nostromo SpeedPad & TM TacticalBoard profiles for G-R, Splinter Cell, SOF II(I think). If anyone is interested. maybe we could get a small part of the site dedicated to that sort of thing - but that would be down to Raptor right?! :wink:

Yep. I am familiar with those profiles.

Smack,
Yeah, thx for the pointer to CougarWorld. I am aware of the site and have used it in the past - but when Madrus brought the subject up, i just wanted to make a suggestion I had. And since I was just trying to get started with GunShip, I guessed his profile would be a good start point for control setup.

I have just bought these awesome controllers. I've never owned a HOTAS before, always flew with just a stick with integrated throttle (never any rudders!)

Anyway, just got the firmware flashed to the newest version, and am now dabbling in the profile software. They give an amazing feel and are very precise. Well worth the price IMO. Need to get some rudder pedals now, what do use? CH Pro, TM ?

So far my experience (admittedly very little) has been that only about half of the profiles from that site work 100%. Either the macro file hasn't been updated for the game i am running or there is some error in programming that outputs the wrong keystroke or there is something wrong with the output. for instance like clicking the microstick button and getting a stuck keystroke and having to clear the shut down the HOTAS and restarting.

So I learned to modify or to program my own.

i bought TM RCS on ebay for about $80. They are ok, but no toebrakes. I will probably buy those Simpeds in a few months.

I said this before - real men program their own HOTAS... :) !
