[OB 2.5.2] Warthog Throttle - Mods for Stop/Idle activation

[sunski34]

Hi,

 

Here is a mod (using JSGME) to add STOP to IDLE and reverse for left and right engines if you have a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle.

 

You can find a new category named "Specific switch abstraction" in Control tab to bind your Warthog Throttle correctly (BTN 29 for Right engine and BTN 30 for left engine).

 

I had a special bind for Master Arm : ARM Else SAFE too.

Why do you need a mod when it works with standard bindings in the first place? I bound my warthog throttle correctly and the idle/cutoff works just fine. I think you have to use the binding that says "on/off".

Same. Simply bind the idle/cutoff to the button that activates when you left the throttle over the hump when pulling back. Goes to idle in the opposite direction...

The first time I did that, I have a problem... Now I retry and you're right... That's ok.

 

Ok...

 

Can be closed except if somebody wants a master arm else safe on a 2 pos switch.

I am having the same problem. I bind the idle/cutoff to the warthog and it doesn't want to go back to cutoff I can get it out of cutoff. Also the key commands likewise, will not put the throttle into cutoff. I've tried using the finger lifts at the same time... kinda at a loss here.

Never mind solved it.... if your throttle isn't exactly at zero because you've tweaked the saturation for the AB detent it won't work. My bad.

Ok, after several tests, my Mod is better than standard OFF/Idle toggle. When using standard toggle, that doesn't work the first time, so you have to go OFF to Idle then idle to Off before setting battery. This first time, throttle will not move.

 

With my mod, that works fine, even the first time.
