Tusker Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 On an FA-18, what are ppl using the friction dial on the front TM Warthog throttle for? Can it be mapped? Was considering mapping NVG gain to it. I’m not talking about the dial on the side, which works well fro mapping zoom view.

rob10 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I believe that's a physical button that physically adjusts the amount of friction on the throttle levers. I don't think it is connected as a switch/button at all.
joey45 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I use it for zoom The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Raisuli Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 It's a mechanical adjustment for...friction...and I keep it dialed all the way down so there's little effort required to move the throttles. There's no electrical connection.
sirrah Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Let's clear things up here... The light grey lever (right side of throttle) can be mapped as an axis The black wheel (where it actually says "friction") can not be mapped System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
Tusker Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Yup, the black wheel has no electronics. I'm playing with how to map some of the switches on the TM Warthog Throttle base for the Hornet. I've decided to map the Flashlight and NGVs to the two switches near the front of the black box. The NVG Gain is mapped to my up/down arrows, since I don't use the keyboard to fly. At the back of the black box I have Landing Gear, Hook Up/Down, and Active Pause mapped.
