- The series of files you have is:
- M29.BAT
- MIG29.RMP
- MIG29.ADV
- M29PAD.TXT
- M29PAD.COM
- README.1ST (this file).
- 1. Copy M29.BAT and MIG29.RMP to your C:\REMAP subdirectory.
-
- 2. Copy MIG29.ADV to your C:\MARKII subdirectory.
-
- 3. Copy M29PAD.COM and M29PAD.TXT to your C:\FALCON3 subdirectory.
-
- 4. In Falcon 3.0 or MiG-29 select JOYSTICK (do not select THRUSTMASTER)
- as your control.
-
- 5. Switch to the C:\MARKII subdirectory and download the MIG29.ADV file
- by typing DOWNLOAD MIG29.ADV at the DOS prompt.
-
- 6. Trimming in the MIG - the KP* and KP5 do not work well in MiG-29 and
- work even worse if you do not understand how they are SUPPOSED to work.
- To trim the MIG with this MIG29.ADV file, if you have the rocker switch
- (the one on the handle of the WCS II) in the MIDDLE (RADAR SCAN MODE)
- or UP (IRST MODE) position, the HD positions are KP* and KP5. Pressing
- the HD once will generate KP* and will RELEASE whatever trim setting you
- have on the MiG. That means the MiG is now going to react to whatever
- lift-vector state you are in. If your speed is increasing, and your
- nose is at level when you press KP*, the MiG will climb. If the nose
- is below level it will dive. You must take your stick and slowly pull
- the nose to level, let the airspeed stabilize and then hit KP5 (HD the
- second time). This will adjust your trim tabs to the current energy
- state of the MiG. Now, this does not work well in the MiG program, but
- Spectrum HoloByte will soon issue a patch for this - I have been beta
- testing it and the patch makes it work much better.
- To trim in the MiG with the rocker switch in the DOWN position, I have
- remapped the hat positions to produce the KP Arrow keys. This means
- with the rocker switch DOWN, you will be in Landing/Takeoff mode and
- pressing the hat fwd will trim the nose down, hat down will trim the nose
- up, hat left - left trim, hat right - right trim. Each time you press
- the trim in any direction, remember you are changing the trim tab
- position. So, if you trim several steps left, for example, until the
- MiG starts rolling left, you can expect it to continue rolling left unless
- you click right on the hat once or twice to stop the roll at your intended
- trim position.
-
- 7. Once you have downloaded the MIG29.ADV file, simply switch to the C:\REMAP
- subdirectory and type M29 and this will run M29.BAT. M29.BAT will give
- you step-by-step instructions from there. It will tell you to put the
- BLACK hat mode switch to DIGITAL, and the RED MODE switch to ANALOG. It
- will load the REMAP TSR and MIG29.RMP into the keyboard conversion table
- (TBL-FLL.EXE) and then load M29PAD.COM and run MiG-29 for you. When you
- exit MiG-29 it will unload MiG-29, unload M29PAD.COM and the REMAP TSR.
- Please refer to the M29PAD.TXT file included if you are not familiar with
- what this TSR by Ken "Stinger" Richardson does for you.
-
- 8. Please be patient while Spectrum HoloByte finishes the last few details
- on the MiG-29 and Falcon 3.02 patch. It is coming along nicely.
- In addition. In about a month (estimated), ThrustMaster will have a
- revision to the chip and software for your Mark II WCS. Included in the
- new microcode for the Mark II WCS will be the following:
- a. Ability to program repeating keys.
- b. Ability to program a separate key, or macro on a make (press of a
- button) and a break (release of a button). Yes, the key can be made
- to repeat or you can program a series of keys. You won't be able to
- do repeating keys on a release (for obvious reasons), but you will be
- able to program a series of keys on a release or a press if you wish.
- (Also known as a macro).
- c. Ability to program triple or quad-key combos on a make or break. i.e.
- you will be able to do such outstanding keyboard aerobics as a
- Ctl-Shft-Alt-key, since some of the more "creative" simulation
- programmers seem to have become enamoured of this new exercise to make
- your life difficult.
- d. Ability to make every button a toggle between two different make and
- break functions such as the 1st press generate a repeating key, 1st
- press generate a macro, 2nd press generate a different repeating key (or
- macro, or whatever), and 2nd release generate a different key or macro
- than the 1st release. AND they will be rocker-sensitive, meaning you
- will be able to put different toggles on each button with different
- positions of the rocker switch on the handle. The Mark II will have
- some other capabilities as well, but all-in-all, you will now have the
- ability, as some have asked for, to be able to completely befuddle
- yourself in the midst of an air-combat engagement trying to remember
- which button does what - which is exactly the opposite of what a HOTAS
- system (designed to PREVENT pilot overload not CAUSE it) was designed
- to do, but hey, you asked for it. 8) And, what is this gonna' cost you
- current owners of the Mark II WCS? About $5 (also an estimate) for a
- new chip (easy to install) and software.
