#FRONTIER 4.1 TUTORIAL ZIP#
I would recommend you extract the files from the zip into their own folder on your C: drive. I can help with this if you can't work it out. If you'd rather, you can "MapKey" any other button on your joystick to turn the curves ON and OFF at any time. In Elite Dangerous Control Binds, set the Flight Assist key ('Z') to TOGGLE.NOT HOLD
If you happen to own a WARTHOG, the other HAT switches are also listed in the table in the EDGlobalVars file.Ģ) It uses the pinky lever switch on my joystick (S4) to toggle FAOff + apply a joystick curve to the X and Y axis. These are typically listed in one of the user guides provided by Thrustmaster for your joystick. Without too much drama, you can use a different HAT if you are already used to using one of the others. The script makes it dead easy for you to configure these any which way you want to distribute the 6 PIPs and includes more in depth explanation in the comments.
#FRONTIER 4.1 TUTORIAL CODE#
I've included at the bottom of the EDGlobalVars file the USB Code table (from the manual) which lists every keyboard key that TARGET will recognize.ġ) It uses one of the HAT switches (the DMS or "H3" hat) on the joystick to do PIP ManagementĪ) when you press H3R (H3-Right) once, it fires a sequence of arrow keys which result in a configurationī) pressing H3L (left) results in Ĭ) pressing H3U (up) results in ĭ) pressing H3D (down) does the default balance power If you normally use something different, no sweat, just get into the EDGlobalVars.tmh file and change lines 14-19 to whatever you want. The four Arrow keys - for PIP Management. Next, my script uses the following keys and expects these to be set in the Elite Dangerous control bindings. Of course, once the script is stopped, everything reverts to how it was. On my PC, the "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog" will disappear and be replaced by "Thrustmaster Combined". So if you own a WARTHOG HOTAS, it leaves the Throttle alone. This is important.read that last sentence again slowly and carefully.
#FRONTIER 4.1 TUTORIAL WINDOWS#
When you run the script, the TARGET interpreter (the thing that reads, compiles and runs the script) will create a new (emulated) game controller device in windows and any supported Thrustmaster devices which are enabled within the script will disappear from your Joystick control panel and be replaced with one called "Thrustmaster Combined". I would fully recommend you take note of what keys you bound for each function because there's a good chance you will need to redo some if not most of them. Running this script the first time will mess with your binds file so back it up BEFORE you run the game with the script running.
You need to run the script before you start ED.
#FRONTIER 4.1 TUTORIAL HOW TO#
While the script was written and tested on a Warthog HOTAS joystick, I've provided instructions on how to modify it for a different stick (T16000) in the readme.txt file. These include the T16000, T16000L, Cougar, Warthog and the F18 Joystick (not yet released as far as I know).
The script and support files do have some comments in to help people understand what the script is doing and the readme.txt explains a lot more about curves as well as a mini-tutorial on how to modify the script to suit any Thrustmaster joystick that is supported by the TARGET script engine. Now, a lot of people use other tools for these or other joysticks (eg Auto Hot Key, vJoy and Joystick Gremlin are the ones which come readily to mind), this post is not about what's best, easiest, cheapest etc.it's simply a post providing a TARGET script to help people who don't want to invest time learning TARGET script.Ī separate TARGET support file containing some variable definitions that the script uses ("EDGlobalVars.tmh")Ī sample windows batch file which will launch the script ("sample.bat") So, what I've done is create a TARGET script which does that.and pretty much only that. The most common answer invariably comes when people start to dip their feet into the PvP pond.PIP Management and Joystick Curves.
#FRONTIER 4.1 TUTORIAL MANUAL#
The manual is pretty basic, and finding good scripts to learn from is not that easy.Īdditionally, you need a basic understanding of programming.which does not come naturally to a lot of people.īut why on Earth would anyone want to even look at scripting for a Joystick? Yes.it is not an easy thing and does require some time to get even moderately good at. I've read a few forum threads over the last couple years about how hard TARGET Script is to either learn or get working.
