Warthog throttle switches

[ayousry]

Hello

 

Is there a way to let dcs (f18c) read the throttle base switches positions as 2 positions (Like the a10c)instead of ON/OFF only ?

 

 

Thanks

I am assuming you want the switch to cause an action when moving it forward AND backward. Start with this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89226 and then do some searching. There are a number of threads floating around with info for creating specific bindings.

On the thread posted by Rob10, post #214 there is a tutorial document about creating new binds. Here is a bunch of binds I created for the F/A-18C, for myself and other players.:
