Warthog throttle and the A-10

[Cayman41]

A weird one that I believe may be hardware related, not software related.

When starting up the A-10, during engine start I can move the throttle out of the detent on the right engine and get the right engine to start but not the left engine. Moving the left throttle out of the detent does nothing and isn’t registered by the sim, nor does shutting the engine off in this manner work for the left. It works for the right. I’m having to use the keyboard to accomplish left engine start/shutdown which wouldn’t be a problem except I’m in VR.

 

I’ve checked calibrate at start, I started the sim with the engines in the off detent and I’ve tried starting the sim, moving the throttle out of the detent and then back again... still doesn’t register. I’ve tried unbinding and binding again, that doesn’t work either.

 

Thoughts? Any way to fix it?

So you can bind it? It is recognized in the DCS controls menu?

 

If not, check the Warthog control panel. Left detent should be button 30

 

If it's not recognized there, something's probably "broken"

Okay, checked the Windows properties... the left detent is working as button 30, right as button 29, so looks like nothing is physically wrong. I’ll try to re-setup the throttle in the sim.
