New owner of a yet to be delivered FSSB R3 lighting.
I have read the manual in order to prepare myself for the arrival of this beautiful mechanical piece.
I will be using it 99% of the time with Falcon BMS, so I guess using the BMS firmware.
Concerning this I have a couple of questions.
First, this passage in the user's manual :
This is in the context of using the FSSB R3 with the Warthog electronic board, which I would like to do since I want to use my target script (using the pinky shift in my TARGET combined device).When used with HOTAS Warthog electronics, you can connect both USB cables to the same computer, and choose with your computer, which joystick use. Obviously the user can configure the simulation program, using both, the HOTAS variables and buttons as well as native FSSB R3 variables and buttons, being limited only through the options of the software you are using.
As a rule, the HOTAS could benefit from both, the high quality of data X and Y axes as well as some special modes FSSB R3
From what I understand the suggestion is having both joysticks connected : the FSSB R3 directly and the warthog board, and map the axis's in the game.
Is the direct connection of the FSSB R3 "more precise" than going through the Warthog board ? Or is using the warthog's board X and Y axis of the same preciseness ?
Also, will the SMM be usable with this ? (as in, if I select a 2:4 FSC, the warthog board will give the 2:4 output ?)
Next question, concerning this sentence :
I use the pinky shift for a shifted layer, but do not understand how it will work with the above information ?As consequence of this implementation, the operation of DX button Pinky has changed, now it sends the pressed status when you release the button if you are not launching the SMM.
In order to shift a key (for instance TMS UP), should I do Pinky, release Pinky, TMS UP ? Or hold pinky, TMS up, and release both ?
If the former, then I would use CMS press I guess ? (which is my slap switch right now).
Thank you
Looking forward to testing my new toy
