=Mac= Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Getting to the Throttle moved to idle caused me to question my sanity. FINALLY, I found that once you click Engine start, the throttle has a lock that prevents engine cut off. I never saw it. I thought I was moving the parking brake but there's that pesky little engine cut off lever on the side of the throttle that, if it is visible, and you pull the throttle back, you cut the engine off! Ha, I finally figured it out. Also, when you hit engine start, you have to give it a couple seconds before the rpm's come up to (what?) 91?. I didn't know that, either. Then you throttle forward. Maybe I should have read the manual? ..... nah..... :doh: The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
Rlaxoxo Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 If you have issues starting the engine when moving the throttle forwards Move the throttle cutoff lever move the throttle to the idle position and then move the throttle forwards again Be mindful not to keep the throttle cutoff lever out. Issue can be worked around by using a bind on your Joystick or something [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
=Mac= Posted December 5, 2017 Author Posted December 5, 2017 Yup. Figured that out. Engine start switch. Wait for pre-spool. Throttle up a bit and finish spooling. Flip the little lock tab then you can pull back. Pleeeeeze keep in mind that I am NOT complaining. My gosh, I'm so happy with what is on my computer!!!! Just trying to help out. :) The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground.

NeilWillis Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 It is a simple thing to map the cut-off detent as well as the throttle axis. That way, you just need to start the engine, take the throttle out of the detent at the appropriate time, and finally at mission end, shut down the engine by lifting the throttle over the idle detent. 1. Select Axis, and add the throttle (Joy axis Z for the Warthog), add a nozzle axis (Joy RZ for the Warthog), add a STOL Stop lever (Joy Slider 1 for the Warthog) You can edit the deadzone in the throttle if you have the afterburner detent operational too. 2. Select All, go to Throttle cutoff and add that (Joy Btn 29 for the Warthog). That gives an efficient, and almost logical set up (the Throttle and Nozzle levers are transposed (Nozzles outboard and Throttle inboard, but the throttle has the majority of buttons needed for HOTAS operation).
