+=HOTAS=
 The Thrustmaster Warthog is a replica of the HOTAS used in the A10-C aircraft. It is basicaly a F16 stick combined with a F15-E throttle.
-The best way to configure BMS is to use the directX input. (this way you're keeping all the advantages of the F16 mastermodes (AA-AG-SRM as well as the short and long push functions etc)
+The best way to configure BMS is to use the directX input. (this way you're keeping all the advantages of the F16 master modes (AA-AG-SRM as well as the short and long push functions etc)
 You can use the HOTAS directly in game without any software using directX input but be advised that BMS will pick up the first 32 buttons of each controllers (32 buttons for the sticks and 32 for the throttle) due to a DirectX limitation and only ONE hat (the one from your primary input device that you have set in the CONTROLLER drop down menu). This means that if you have your joystick set as primary input device BMS will not recognize the hat of your throttle (coolie switch)
@@ Line 70: / Line 71: @@
 There is several other good reasons to use the script editor. For example, you can use the LED lights of the throttle (i.e lights ON when master ARM ON etc ...) You may also manage axes with any kind of button (this way I'm using 2 buttons to move my antenna elevation like an axis) and you can also make some chains of command that gives you the ability to have multiple outputs by pressing a button once. (very useful for turning ON or OFF all the lights with one button only)

 X52 Pro has customization MFDs among a couple other features. I have the regular and am fine with it but those with the Pro say it improves there experience by a lot

 I refuse to buy an X-65 because it has no second trigger detent. That means you can't have the proper switchology to engage the TGP laser or ACMI recording in auto mode, and in DCS PAC doesn't work.
