Yurgon Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 BTW, is it true that below the idle detent is outside the throttle axis? Correct (just like in the real aircraft, I presume). [...] but then I figured out the impreciseness when doing formation flight, not even to think about air refuelling. I believe first of all I will adjust the axis and then start to put some money aside. Maybe you just need to clean the pots. It used to work miracles on my Cougar and it only takes about 30 minutes when you do it for the first time (10 minutes when you're experienced): http://www.cougar.flyfoxy.com/faqhardware.php#Topic3.1 I simply used a Q-Tip to clean the pots' conducting surface, that was quite enough to get rid of most of the spiking I'd experienced before. Then again, putting some money aside for the Warthog is definitely a good idea. :thumbup: P. S.: Und noch einen schönen 3. Oktober ;-) Yeah, thanks. We've had a week of traffic jams because of all the preparations going on here, and probably a couple more days of jammed traffic coming up. 5 years from now, let some other town host the event! :music_whistling: (TBH, I only got stuck in traffic once; most of the time I ride a bike and enjoy the sight of all those bugged people in their cars :D)
lxsapper Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) BTW, is it true that below the idle detent is outside the throttle axis? Actually this behavior is changeble. Though there's no reason you would want to for DCS. It might be usefull for BMS, or to set a reverser range for FSX with FSUIPC. You need to change de device hardware calibration with TM calibration tool for the throttle though, and in one of the steps where it asks you to move the throttle to idle you should keep it in the OFF position. After that you will have axis response in the aft Idle range. To reverse it you just have to use the Calibration tool again and this time follow the instructions. I don't know if there's a problem with using the calibration tool repeatedly since as far as I can tell it flashes the hardware itseld, and your new calibration will keep itself over to another PC you might connect your warthog to.

Havoc175 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I just ordered my warthog controllers yesterday... i should get them in the next few days. too bad i have to work 90 hrs this week so i prob wont get a chance to use them until next weekend !!! :mad: RLTW

dbunger Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Xoxen, the Warthog is definitely a lot smother and easier to fly with. The stick is a little smaller(just a little) then the Cougar which surprised me but I'm thinking of just swapping the two (Cougar stick will fit on Warthog base, should still have the smooth flying) and seeing how that works. EVGA X99 FTW, EVGA 3080 FTW, Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz, G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 64GB (4x16GB), CORSAIR Hydro Series H105, EVGA 750 Gold PS, Oculus Rift, TM F-16, A-10C HOTAS.
