M29COOL for MiG-29 version 1.0
By: Ken "Stinger" Richardson
UID: [70761,301]
M29COOL is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that will
work with the ThrustMaster FCS allowing you to program the "Coolie Hat" and
Buttons 3 and 4 to any keystroke on the keyboard, (including SHFT/CTRL/ALT
keys). You can also program "double-click" funtions to any button or hat
position. For example: By default the Hat is programmed to switch between
forward, back, right and left views depending on what direction you push it.
If you push the Hat up twice, it will switch to Padlock view.
To program your FCS, I supplied a small program called COOLKEY.COM. This
program will ask you to press which keystroke you want for each Hat position
and Button. After you make your keystroke selections, it will write a file
named M29COOL.CFG. This file must be in the same directory as M29COOL.COM
when you load it. If M29COOL can't find the M29COOL.CFG file, it assumes
you want to use the defaults.
No modification is required to the MiG-29 program. Simply run the M29COOL
program, or use LOADHIGH to load it into high memory. The first step is to
calibrate your Coolie Hat. Just follow the on-screen instructions, this only
takes a few seconds. Next M29COOL will check to see if the M29COOL.CFG file
is available, if so it will program the Hat and Buttons. After M29COOL is
loaded it will automatically check to see if MiG-29 is running. If MiG-29 is
running it will automatically "attach" itself. If Mig-29 is not running, it
will simply lay dormant in memory until it senses MiG-29. To Uninstall
M29COOL, just execute the M29COOL.COM program a second time. This will
remove the TSR from memory. One other thing you should do is select JOYSTICK
from the CONFIG screen instead of THRUSTMASTER. Also, answer NO when you are
asked if you wish to calibrate external throttle during joystick calibration.
M29COOL also has a feature that will allow you to remap your COM3 and COM4
ports to COM1 and COM2 respectively. This will allow people to connect with
MiG-29, in one of the communications modes, using COM3 or COM4. To enable the
COM port remap feature, add the /3 or /4 switch after typing M29COOL. For
example: Type M29COOL /3 to remap COM3 to COM1
or M29COOL /4 to remap COM4 to COM2
This utility is not supported by Spectrum Holobyte in any way so if
you experience any problems contact me via Compuserve EMail or the MODEMGAMES
forum on Compuserve (GO MODEMGAMES).
