For those who wish to use the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle, I've thrown together a FreePIE script which utilises all of the buttons and applies the full-range-throttle-fix as per other comments here. The throttle and vJoy ID numbers can be changed simply in the script, without needing to change every reference by using THROTTLE_ID and VJOY_ID respectively. Hope this helps! # Thrustmaster TWCS Mapping Script for Arma 3 with FreePIE # Fixes throttle issues associated with Arma 3. # By firebyte # https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/104325-a-fix-for-full-axis-throttle-mapping/ # When plugging and unplugging your devices, the ID number # of your device may change.
