Set up TQS Idle, afterburner detents in DCS?

Hello folks, trying to use my cougar TQS again. I have the TSUBA adapter.

 

I know you can set idle, afterburn detents. However, i no longer have the metal piece that clicked.

 

Is there a way I can set up my TQS, that would allow me to push the throttle up a little, and then back to idle to emulate a start position?

 

Same for the detent areas.   On the warthog, you lift up and it clicks in the detent for start.  Trying to essentially accomplish

the same with TQS without lifting the throttle.   Thanks for any help.

I had the same goal, and solved it easily with the TUSBA.  You can "create" a DX "button" based on the position of the throttle (as well as the ant, rng, cursor, etc...just havent found a reason to yet).  

 

1.  Put the throttle where you want position wise (ie at idle or near idle)

2. Select the DX17 dropdown and select Throttle

3. "flip" its direction (as/if needed) by clicking the little icon next to the dropdown.

4. Save setting (File -> save)

5. Reboot for good measure (sometimes after saving tusba, windows stops recognizing device calibration till I do a full shut down/unplug/replug...)

6. Then go into DCS and in the button mapping, find the idle detent... double click it on your tusba column and when move the throttle in/out at the base and it registers the DX17 button

7.  BE CAREFUL.  I have several times thrown my plane into idle cutoff during BFM and had to relit... which then loses all INS 🙂
