Luft Waffel Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I'm aware that this is an issue with almost all DCS modules with afterburner detents. The detent on the warthog is a bit earlier than on most of the aircraft especially the F14. I think its at about 95% throttle. The reason this sucks on the F14 is that the F14 has some nice automatic functions that occur when reaching MIL, such as speedbrakes and DLC automatically disengaging. This is very useful when landing on the boat since I usually prefer going to MIL in the wires rather than AB since if I do bolter I find the AB too powerful and the aircraft rockets up in pitch very aggressively, especially if I land without any stores and low fuel. The annoying part is that I have to manually disengage DLC and speedbrake when I hit the deck, at the same time has going to MIL. Sometimes this also causes me to get a no-grade because of "EGIW" even I'm going to MIL as soon as I hit the deck. Are there any work-arounds to either change the position of the in-game MIL/AB detent or to change the required throttle position where the speedbrake and DLC automatically disengage? It also means that I lose a bit of potential engine power if I climb on MIL instead of AB.
prccowboy Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 you just need to set your Axis tune for the throttle to 'user curve' and adjust in-game for your specific throttle detents. I custom made my detents as a push through and hit afterburner somewhere around 20 on the scale
Southernbear Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Mind me asking what the key bind is called for the AB detent? I didn't know it had one...I searched for one but I guess I didn't use the correct name. Although at the same time the F-14 is superior to other planes as I also don't exactly need it as I not only have the EIG to tell us the RPM in percentage which makes it super easy to read AND the Nozzle position dial that also helps. BUT we also have the audible 'Clicking' sound when you move the throttle past the AB cut off. Its so good
Lt_Jaeger Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 You have to fiddel with the axis settings. I'm not at the computer but I kinda remember seeing da dead zone and some axis curves so that as soon as the WH reaches the detent, the mentioned functions happen. Had to do 2 different curves for each throttle, since they are not a 100% in synch. Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk
MAXsenna Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Have look at this one. Hope it helps. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Lt_Jaeger Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I did it different, since I found out that fiddling with the custom curve gives me problems in the fine adjustment department while AAR for example. Could post picture of you want, next time I'm firing up my computer. Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk
MAXsenna Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 That would be cool! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Lt_Jaeger Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I was mistaken. Both are identical Hi just have to tune the figure to a value where brakes and dlc is turned off, hitting the detent. Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk
Cocker Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Use those curves from Strikeeagle345 in below link. I had the same issue as you, configured as per the screenshot, and I now have 100% mil trust when at the AB detend: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=237357
Chuck_Henry Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Mind me asking what the key bind is called for the AB detent? There isn't one. Just a long, long requested feature for this jet.
miromurin Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) This works fine for Hotas Warthog. When I reach AB detent I am at Mil power. speed brakes and DLC retract. You can tune it for each module. Edited June 19, 2020 by miromurin
