Isn't there a detent option in the special tab for the Viper?
However, the throttle cutoff as named is only used when shutting down the motor. The throttle grip rotates coming over the gate from cutoff and to afterburner without using the throttle cutoff lever.
Yep, that is why I said in an earlier post that I hope they model the tailhook properly. It barely survives an engagement on the runway, a carrier trap would end terribly...very terribly.
I'm not talking about the physical button, but the option in DCS has two columns. One is for press and release modifiers ( don't recall the name), the other is a switch. The switch operates how you described your issues.
