Can the Warthog throttle range be extended below idle position ?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have a Warthog throttle and one of these Debolestis plastic devices that removes both the idle detent and the afterburner detent.

 

Unfortunately, removing the idle detent does not allow to extend the electrical range (response range) of the throttle, which is too bad. The throttle response is zero over the whole course of the throttle from the idle position and lower (before the detent).

 

I would prefer to have an extended range of electrical response rather than idle detents (that is why I bought this Debolestis item).

 

Is there some mod (hardware or software) that can get the desired result (extend the response range of the Warthog throttle to the portion that comprises the idle detents) ?

 

I hope this was not already addressed elsewhere in the forum (I did do a search and browsed the Debolestis thread but it's very long and I may have missed it).

I have not heard of any mods to do this.

 

Its not clear to me whether the throttle uses a simulated off switch derived from the analog position. I cannot hear a switch being engaged at off.

 

So maybe you can calibrate the throttle to effectively move the idle stop to where "off" is?

 

The calibration tool - (search for "Throttle Warthog Calibration (V1_07)_22_07_2010.rar") has some interesting values in the A10_calibration.txt file.

 

Example from the file (these values are the analog slew deadzone, default value is 0x10):

Standard_DZ_SX = 0x01; // 20

Standard_DZ_SY = 0x01; // 21

 

You modify the calibration file, then run the tool... repeat.

Yes! It did the trick! I just re-did a calibration procedure but leaving the throttle at "off" when the tool said to put it at "idle" and Voilà !

 

 

Thank you so much!

 

 

Now all I need is to have Debolestis make a plastic piece with no idle detent and a push-through two-step afterburner detent.

 

 

Again thank you thank you thank you.
