markturner1960 Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Hi, getting back into some simming after a few years break.... doing the cold start, I notice you cant physically move the throttle from off to idle to start the engine....instead have to use keyboard command alt/home.... Is there a way to set up my warthog so you can do this by moving the throttle instead of keys? Thanks! Also, would like to set view zoom on my mouse wheel, I am using track ir as well, but its not really ideal having to lean forward to look at something closely all the time....Is it possible to zoom with the mouse wheel, if so how, thank you System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
PiedDroit Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 If you have a thrusrmaster WH you can use the idle detent for that purpose. When at 0 throttle, lift the throttle and move it further back. Moving it back again should unlock the levers and start engines in the cockpit, provided you kept the default mappings. For the zoom issue, go to controls, axis commands, and map TrackIR Z axis to longitudinal movement instead of zoom view which is the default.
markturner1960 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Fantastic, thanks so much! Forgot completely about the lift up detent on the throttle.......D'oh! Just tried the zoom thing....my tack ir already has that axis mapped to longitudinal.....You can look nearer and further by moving your head nearer to the screen and I dont want to lose that functionality, ideally, I would like zoom on my mouse wheel in addition to this, so I can just zoom in anywhere I want to look....is this possible?

qmaster312 Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 There's a difference between the zoom function and the longitudinal axis, if you move your head forward with TiR you move your head in the cockpit (targets etc don't get bigger), if you zoom with the zoom function (for example by binding it on the throttle slider) you actually zoom in, not just move your head forward.

Remarkymarkable Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 THe zoom is already on the mouse wheel, just double click it to turn in on and double click again to turn it off
paulca Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I use the throttle friction slider on the Warthog throttle for zoom (Grey lever on the right handside with INCR and DECR labels). It's a bit clunky, but the actual control works fine with "normal" zoom in the middle detent.
