Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Profile v1.6 for AH-64D Apache
- Functional layout in one page
- MODIFIER layer for Pilot and CP/G
- TrackIR required
- Rudder pedals required
- Profiles (diff.lua) for Pilot, CP/G and George AI included
- MS Word layout included
This profile is meant to be functional.
- I felt the best use of the 'finicky' throttle Slew Control (T1) was to make it a MODIFIER with its axes unmapped. This allows for a 2nd layer of useful functions. (Remap if you have a thumbstick slew modification like the one by Delta Sim.)
- In the included MS Word diagram, command colours are:
Pilot/CPG = RED
Pilot/CPG + MODIFIER = BLUE
- The layout looks complex because the Pilot and CP/G functions are in one diagram since the crew share quite a lot of HOCAS functions. Granted the CP/G has the TEDAC, hence I added some useful LHG/RHG controls, which are also clickable in the CP/G cockpit.
Update: Added new TADS Store Target command for pilot in throttle switch 7. (The command is issued by player as pilot to George AI CPG, with the command rose and targets detection list active.)
To install:
1. Unzip file containing folders PILOT, CPG and AI to any location
2. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D Pilot
3. In drop down menu tab "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog", select "Load profile", browse to and select "Joystick" diff.lua file in folder PILOT
4. In drop down menu tab "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog", select "Load profile", browse to and select "Throttle" diff.lua file in folder PILOT
5. At the bottom "Modifiers" tab, add the throttle Slew Control (middle finger T1 button = JOY_BTN1) as Modifier

6. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D CP/G and repeat steps 3 to 5 using "Joystick" and "Throttle" diff.lua files in folder CPG
7. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D George AI Helper and repeat steps 3 and 5 using "Joystick" diff.lua file in folder AI
8. Any mapping changes are remembered in the sim but should be saved using steps 3 and 4 with "Save profile as"
