Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog PILOT + WSO Profiles v1.1 for F-15E Strike Eagle
- Functional layouts
- One Modifier layer
- TrackIR and rudder pedals required
- Profiles (diff.lua) for stick & throttle included
- MS Word diagrams included
The profiles are meant to be functional for the Pilot & WSO in auto or hot starts. You can fly solo with just the Pilot profile.
- The 'finicky' throttle Slew Control (T1) with its axes unmapped is the MODIFIER button. This allows for a 2nd layer of useful functions. (Remap if you have a thumbstick slew mod like the one by Delta Sim or if you have the improved version of the Warthog Hotas.)
- In the included MS Word diagram, command colours are:
1st Layer (default) = RED
2nd Layer (hold down MODIFIER) = BLUE
- For the PILOT profile, the TDC Depress is at the stick NWS button (pinky) for better control.
- For the WSO profile, I tried to keep the RHC and LHC functions separate to the stick and throttle respectively while retaining flight controls. But some LHC functions (TDC depress, laser fire, HA/FA trigger) had to remain on the stick via a modifier. Also, TDC and Coolie functions share the same switch: For RHC, the stick's dome hat is the TDC but has Coolie functions when holding the modifier. For LHC, the throttle coolie serves as the Coolie switch but works as the TDC when holding down the modifier. They had to be mapped in reverse like so because the corresponding HA trigger for LHC uses a modifier.
- As the module is in EA, some changes and updates will be expected. See also the legend boxes in the diagrams for functions that are not yet available or uncertain/bugged.
Update: WSO's Radio 1/2 and NVG brightness adjustments are now working.
