How to get Thrustmaster RCS, FCS and WCS Mk II to work with Descent:

1. Ensure the TM stuff is installed properly and operates.
2. Load the .ADV file.  The included one or a custom one.
3. Place red swich in analog BEFORE Descent starts.  Place a "pause" in
your
.bat file.
4. Start Descent, Select JOYSTICK in setup.
5. Calabrate joysticks.  Descent should ask for #1 and #2.
   #1 is FCS, #2 is WCS Throttle and the RCS.  When asked for #2 upper
left
   put Throttle fwd and press left rudder.  When asked for #2 upper right
   put Throttle back and press right rudder.  When asked for #2 center
   put Throttle center and center rudder.  Press trigger each time while
calabrating.
6. Customize above from controller menu and customize axis to taste.  I
like
pitch and  roll 
on FCS and Yaw on pedals.
7. You only have to do this once for each player name you save.
