Please excuse if this has already been posted I did a quick check but could not find a similar thread. I recieved my Virpil Thottle last week and been setting up and trialling things out and very impressed. Gernerally fly warbirds and 1st generation jets but do also have the Mirage 2000, Mig 21, F-14, F-16 amd F-18 though dont use them much - with The Mirage F-1 and the Mig-23 on the horizon that will change. By having a selector switch I can have full range (e.g. upto 98%) for planes without afterburner (and the Mig 19 as that has an afterburner switch?) and then mil throttle range for planes with afterburners

 

Tried the virtual throttle detents - pretty straightfiorward to configure, apart from what % do you set full throttle action no afterburner, it differs from plane to plane. My crude experiemts in DCS are:

Mirage 2000 87%

Mig 21 92%

F-14, F-16, F-18 all 80%

 

If someone who has done more extensive testing has better numbers please advise

Thanks

FWIW, I use 82% which works well for most jets. Obviously, you have to set it to the lowest value of all the jets.

You can also fiddle with the curves on the throttles for the other jets to make 80% (or where ever you make the detent for your setup) the mil power for the jet even if it is 87% by design.
