My Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 joystick with rudder pedals doesn't function correctly with Gliding Simulator. Why is that and what is the solution, please?

The X52 and X56 are very expensive for just one simulator. Are there cheaper joysticks that definitely will function correctly, please?

Many thanks in anticipation.

I cannot run the simulator. Always receive the above error. 

Is ther any other way to make vario tone effective?

Spanish (v.1.00) manual_es.pdf

However none of these work.

I contacted Steam about this, they tell me that the problem is a case for the developer (Aerosot).

In an attempt to solve the problem I have un-installed then re-installed the programme 3 times but nothing has changed except getting a bug report (see attached) which I do not understand. Can somebodyplease help me.WoA_error_report_211120-105620.xml

In External View the camera is moving up/down in the wrong direction.

When moving camera up, the aircraft is moving up, the camera is moving down.

The keys Num1, Num3, Num7 and Num9 have a fixed function assignment.  Although I assigned the radio messages 1-9 to these keys, when I pressed these keys, the camera was also panned.

I found the reason for this in the file binding2.dat. It contains the following entries:

action("Cam_Rot_135",State,key_NUMPAD3);
action("Cam_Red_225",State,key_NUMPAD1);
action("Cam_Red_315",State,key_NUMPAD7);
action("Cam_Red_45",State,key_NUMPAD9);

These are functions you can't configure via the user interface, so you can't delete them. This is a real bug.

There are two more entries which should be wrong as well.

action("Cam_Rot_Roll_N",State,key_NUMPAD7);
action("Cam_Red_Roll_P",State,key_NUMPAD9);

I found other entries which cannot be customized by the user.

action("ActivePause",Event,key_P);
action("Gunz",State,joy0_b0);
action("Key_Grab",State,key_SYSRQ);
action("Key_O",State,key_O+key_LCONTROL);
action("Mouse_LB",Event,mouse_b0);
action("Mouse_RB",State,mouse_b1);
action("Mouse_X",Event,mouse_axis_X);
action("Mouse_Y",Event,mouse_axis_Y);
action("Mouse_Z",Event,mouse_axis_Z);
action("NewWindow",Event,key_LCONTROL+key_N);
action("ReloadScene",Event,key_LCONTROL+key_R);
action("Show Score",State,key_TAB);
action("ShowDiags",Event,key_BACK+key_RCONTROL);
action("camCtrl",State,key_LCONTROL);
action("camShift",State,key_LSHIFT);
action("satCam",Event,key_F9);
action("test5",Event,key_L);
action("toggleConsole",Event,key_GRAVE);

I have not checked if they also cause problems.

Anyone else struggling with this?

I have an incorrect controller configuration being created.

I have four controllers with the following name (from file mapping2.lua).

CH Pro Pedals USB (joy0) (CH)
T.A320 Pilot (joy1) (Thrustmaster)
Flight Throttle Quadrant (joy2) (Saitek)
Flight Throttle Quadrant (joy3) (Saitek)

I can configure everything through the interface, with all four controllers, but controller joy3 does not work.

As joy1 I also had Honeycomp Alpha in use. I have the same problem with it. Therefore, it is not due to the Thrustmaster joystick.

I think the problem is because I have two same controllers with the same names. But I do not know if this is really the reason.

The error now is the following. In the file mapping2.lua everything is correct, but in the file binding2.dat the entries of joy3 were entered with "joy2".

After I changed the entries manually from joy2 to joy3, everything works.

I have recently purchased the simulator. Unfortunately, I can not play the game due to lags. When I select an aircraft, the whole simulator starts to lag. I have estimated 10 or less FPS. I can not explain the error, because I have a very good computer.

My System: Intel Core I9 9900K 
                     16GB RAM
                     GForce RTX2070

I would appreciate a quick reply to solve the problem.

They conclude:

Any help would be appreciated I'm a Steam Novice and don't know where to start to fix this

Thank you.

• Very easy to use interface, avoiding complex choices.
• Six languages for user Interface, radio, and audio
  (English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch).
• Three languages manuals
  (English, German, French, more to come)

Gameplay

• Training for many flight stages for Wilga and Blanik.
• Free flight with all models
• Multiplayer mode with Aero tow (Wilga and Blanik)

Content

• 25.000 km2 handcrafted terrain, near Mannheim, the border of the river Rhein.
• One high detail (Herrenteich), one low end detail airport, Speyer, close the Technik Museum Speyer.
• Five usable aircraft:
  • LET L-13 Blaník, a world-renowned glider, often used for training.
  • Diamond HK36 Dimona, a two-seater motor glider.
  • Schleicher ASK21, two-seater glider with good performance and solid aerobatics capacity.
  • Schleicher ASK2 Mi, motorized self-launching glider with small rotary engine.
  • PLZ-104 Wilga, robust four-seater aircraft, used for many roles, very suitable to aero-tow.

Graphics

• Animated road traffic, ships
• Ray-marched clouds
• Animated windsocks
• Birds in thermals
• Cloud shadows
• Advanced effects model, including dust!

Flight model

• Per-element based flight model: each surface split into many sections, aerodynamic forces computed for each section individually, then integrated. 360x360 deg flow provides for natural and seamless stalls, spins, tailslide, hammerhead turn and so on.
• Blade element model (BEM) for variable pitch props provides for very precise computation of both linear (thrust) and rotational (asymmetric propwash) components.
• Mass-flow based model for internal combustion engine, correct computation of manifold pressure.
• Correct coupling of the prop to the engine (torque developed equalized by torque consumed by the prop).
• Full computation of windmilling mode, including backward flow conditions.
• Gyroscope effect, p-factor effect computation.

Sound model

• Many sound effects normally not seen in simulators, for example the stick hitting its stops.
• Flow sounds depend on angle of attack, not only airspeed.
• Far distance prop sounds.

Atmosphere model

• Thermals model based on real life flight test data.
• Thermals emerge, dissipate with time, get blown away with the wind.
• Velocity gradient across the upstream of thermals (so you can feel at which side of your aircraft the lift is highest.
