Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Profile v1.7 for AH-64D Apache
- Functional layout in one page
- MODIFIER layer for Pilot and CP/G
- TrackIR required
- Rudder pedals required
- Profiles (diff.lua) for Pilot, CP/G and George AI included
- MS Word layout included
This profile is meant to be functional.
- I felt the best use of the 'finicky' throttle Slew Control (T1) was to make it a MODIFIER with its axes unmapped. This allows for a 2nd layer of useful functions. (Remap if you have a thumbstick slew modification like the one by Delta Sim.)
- In the included MS Word diagram, command colours are:
Pilot/CPG = RED
Pilot/CPG + MODIFIER = BLUE
- The layout looks complex because the Pilot and CP/G functions are in one diagram since the crew share quite a lot of HOCAS functions. Granted the CP/G has the TEDAC, hence I added some useful LHG/RHG controls, which are also clickable in the CP/G cockpit.
Update: With the new FCR functions, some changes were made. See PNG diagram in zip file.
To install:
1. Unzip file containing the PLT, CPG and AI_Menu folders to any location
2. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D Pilot
3. In drop down menu tab "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog", select "Load profile", browse to and select "Joystick" diff.lua file in the PLT folder
4. In drop down menu tab "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog", select "Load profile", browse to and select "Throttle" diff.lua file in the PLT folder
5. At the bottom "Modifiers" tab, add the throttle Slew Control (middle finger T1 button = JOY_BTN1) as Modifier

6. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D CP/G and repeat steps 3 to 5 using "Joystick" and "Throttle" diff.lua files in the CPG folder
7. Go to the game's Options/Controls/AH-64D George AI Helper and repeat steps 3 and 5 using "Joystick" diff.lua file in the AI_Menu folder
8. Any mapping changes are remembered in the sim but should be saved using steps 3 and 4 with "Save profile as"
PS: Test all axes and mappings as per diagram and remove any unwanted leftover stock bindings that may interfere.
