TWCS Throttle Afterburner detent mod.

[erniedaoage]

Hello world,

 

i found this idea on another game forum and thought its a great idea for dcs. So if you want an cheap and easy afterburner detent for your twcs throttle just put 2 velcro stripes at nearly the end of the throttle and adjust your throttle curveature ingame.

 

Attached a picture of mine.

 

Have fun!

could you attach a picture of your curvature as well?

Sure here it is, it's for the J-11A but it works best when you start a instant free flight and go to controls and start to adjust there since its gonna be different for every plane. I placed my strips so it works perfectly with the mig21, but every other module i have to adjust.

Hey Ernie,

 

Looks like a pretty good idea. Lemme try it out and report back. Thanks for sharing.

Does someone have User-Curves, for the various planes in DCS?

Would save some time for some of us :D

Hey there,

 

I tried this out = sticking a velcro tape on the inside side walls.

 

Unfortunately, the weight of the throttle doesn't allow for a proper implementation of the detent. Since the throttle is extremely light weight, the whole unit tends to jump/lift on the application of slightly extra force to get to the afterburner stage.

Need to have the base “mounted” or bolted down. Have you tried adding friction to the throttles with the top left/right roller wheel?

Am afraid I don't have a dedicated space available to "mount" or "bolt" down the throttle and the stick.

 

I have tried adjusting the friction but it's not through a left/right roller wheel in the TWCS. You're talking about the Warthog.

Oh my bad. Misread they. Apologies.
