Hi all,
I'd like to make the F-14's engines (or others, too) start when I move the Warthog throttle levers out of the detent position. These are Buttons 29 and 30 on the throttle and "pressed" means OFF, so when not pressed I want to start.
Searching around a bit here I brew together this:
In
C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\joystick\Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua
I modified this
join_override(res.keyCommands,{
--throttle out of engine detent 28apr2019
{ combos={{key='JOY_BTN30'}}, down=iCommandLeftEngineStop, up=iCommandLeftEngineStart, name=_('Throttle2-Pos. OFF/IDLE'), category=_('Engine Control')},
{ combos={{key='JOY_BTN29'}}, down=iCommandRightEngineStop, up=iCommandRightEngineStart, name=_('Throttle1-Pos. OFF/IDLE'), category=_('Engine Control')},
--Flight Control
The entries are in the new section now, but with a reddish color, so I guess the syntax is wrong, and moving the throttle does not make the gui "jump" to the according lines. I relied on a post from 2017 and suspect the syntax might have changed:

Pointers appreciated.
