MechWarrior 5: Clans (Custom Config, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog + T.Flight Rudder)

Want to use your Hotas Warthog warthog with your T.Flight Rudder pedals to control your mech? This is the guide for you!

As the title says, This is only for:

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Joystick
Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle
Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder pedals.

It does NOT work for any other hardware!

Finding your HOTASMappings.Remap file

it's hidden in a system folder.

C:/Users/<your windows account name>/AppData/Local/MW5Clans/Saved/SavedHOTAS

or just past the following into your file browsers address bar to be taken right there

%localappdata%/MW5Clans/Saved/SavedHOTAS/

Opening the file

it can be easily opened with your text editor of choice.
the Windows Default is Notepad, personally I use Notepad++.

• here are some easy steps
• Double click the file. a window asking "how do you want to open this file" appears.
• Click on "More apps". a list of programs installed on your computer will appear
• scroll down until you see 'notepad' in the list (or Notepad++ if you have it installed).
• Click on 'Notepad' and click 'OK'. the file will open, and windows will remember that choice for next time

Congratulations, the file is open, onto the next step!

The Configuration Code!

copy and paste the following into the HOTASMappings.Remap file.
you can merely add the code or completely replace it. up to you.
there is no risk of interference between configurations because the game looks at the Vendor and hardware ID's of the individual devices that are connected to your PC.

The Grey Slider and the left throttle are ignored and aren't bound.
Only the first 20 buttons on the Throttle work.
