outbaxx Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 While trying to have a software cut off function I noticed this. Using DCS-BIOS I can read the throttle position in the sim. When I have the throttle all the way back(ground idle) I have a value of 3276. When I go to flight and idle it jumps to 6553. So far ok then. But if I advance just a tad more there is another jump to 9858. After this the throttle can be smoothly controlled. I get the first jump from 3276-6553 as we are simulating the MTG/FTG detent but the next one shouldnāt be there. Has anyone else seen this ādouble detentā?Ā Regards F

Maybe it is of use to you, maybe not.Ā Ā Havenāt seen it, thanks! But what seem to happen to me is that when you pass the 9% the throttle in the sim ājumpsā to flight idle, and thatās ok, but it also do a jump when I pass 11% and thatās what I think is odd. Perhaps itās just the animation of the throttle? But it shouldnāt do that jump as there is no detent between Flight idle and mil.
RagnarDa Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Many throttles (for example X52) has a low resolution so to be able to hit FTG at all the range was widened and made flat. A lot of work went into this. DCS AJS37 HACKERMANĀ There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

Wintermute74 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I have the same experience. According to the manual the ground idle detent should sit at 0%, but the code (see reddit thread) seem to suggest it is located at 9%. Is this the intention or a bug? The next detent (at flight idle) comes in at 11%, i.e. very close to the first. So it seems the main issue would the position of the first one, correct?

This video below show my setup doing a cold start where I go from cut off, engine start, some ground/flight idle play and then a take off:
