Same type of guys run guys out of Aces High by being rude to newbs.I been doing flight sims a long time,and I always tried to help new people when they were struggling.

There's nothing to pay! Just launch the game whilst connected to the PSN and you will get a message saying an update needs to be installed. Once installed (FREE) you will be able to select custom layouts in options.
The P47 will cost you yes.
As for being as you put it 'chide' I was pointing out that your question didn't need a whole new thread and that your previous one would have been more than sufficient for the latest question. What you do by opening a whole new thread for what is in essence exactly the same issue you were having is give the impression youre here to troll. And believe me when I say we've had our fair share here!

Its also worth introducing yourself in the new pilots section of the stickys.

Like I said in your other thread. The Tested PC stick thread has helpful info for you. Search function does work well by the way.

I was able to program everything but but had to sacrifice 1 item .... Target Camera. I also found on something interesting. the O, X, triangle, and square buttons are on the left stick ( throttle ). When I crashed and tried to click the "X" to continue it would not accept the command. By accident I discovered that some of those will only work IF the throttle is in the stright up position. In all, I have yet to work all the gremlins out of the system but do enjoy the play and control the stick gives.

I don't understand why anyone would have to create a custom layout for the TM Hotas. The stick is supported right out of the box and has it's own mapping system built in. You can create a custom control scheme without losing the brake and zoom functions.


These should help with the basic layout

I'm using the T-Hotas X thrustmaster 1 settings,but the buttons aren't correct.The L1 button is supposed to be for flaps,but it is zoom!I like the 1st config so I can give orders easier.It's hard to program a stick if one doesn't have a list of command buttons so you can set your stick up the way you want it.The 2nd thrustmaster settings are off as well.To fire you have to use the throttle change view button!I'm still working on getting this right.Anyone using a T-Hotas X give a hand please.

I use the T-master, but I'm not sure I can help you mate. Anyway, let's try...
In controlsettings you set it to "Thrustmaster1" for multiplayermode, and "Thrustmaster2" for singelplayermode.
Then you can map it as you like button by button by clicking "Preset" first and then "Mapping". The red light blinks, and next step is basicly you push the button you want to change first, and then the button you want to map it to. Repeat until you got the buttons mapped to your taste. The illustrations Stic provided will help you a lot. I got my stick mapped very much as the illustrations show, with a cpl of exceptions.
Hope it helps mate. Have fun!

(And when nothing else works you allways got the users manual).

I'm sorry the pictures don't match.

The only thing I can tell you is start a training mission on realistic or arcade difficulty against a couple of bombers and see for yourself what each button does. After that you can re-map them as you like. For example I have all my weapons and target select/trim on the stick and zoom, target camera/flaps, map and camera switch on the throttle.
