pickafivestring Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I bought a new CM3 throttle this past winter, and I'm just now getting around to setting things up. As the old saying goes, you don't know, what you don't know. As I was creating my first couple of profiles, I realized I didn't save the bone stock baseline profile that shipped with the throttle. I've somehow lost "mode 1", and I know that if I don't stop now, and reset things to get all five modes back, I'll wish I had, at some point down the road. If anyone saved the baseline profile that ships with the CM3, and can post it here, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that, but I keep seeing these YT videos warning against flashing the firmware unless you absolutely have to. I guess that would be a last resort of sorts. The weird thing about this is the button numbers of my throttle in the mode section of the configuration software. All the pictures in the software document on Virpils' website, and all the YouTube videos, show mode one thru five to be buttons 67 thru 71. On my throttle, with the current firmware, and less than two months old, mode one thru five, are buttons 68 thru 72. If I change the buttons back to 67 thru 71, I lose mode one. What happens in the latter is when the mode one switch is on one, mode two is selected in the configuration software. When the mode switch is on mode two, then mode three is selected in the configuration software, and so on, until you select mode five on the hardware, then just button 72 gets selected. I guess I have a talent for mucking things up.....LOL. Regards, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickafivestring Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm starting to think the best option is the nuclear option, and just do the firmware update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickafivestring Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I flashed the firmware last night. Everything is back to factory shipped status. Pretty simple procedure...not sure why so many people warn against doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Dutch Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does anyone have a button template for the CM with how you configured it for the FA-18? ----- Don't practise till you got it right. Practise till you don't do it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case, that doesn't really matter and it was definitely the right option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Down Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Lots of good tutorials on You tube. The 50MC3 throttle has huge potential, with 5 modes, and for each mode, you can map all of the buttons on the throttle, but that means taking it out of the factory default. But if you save a copy of the Factory setting, you can export different profiles to file and then change to any one of them in then in less than a minute. I've had mine for 10 days and am still working through what is available to learn on YT. Thoroughly impressed Edited March 15, 2022 by Todd Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I could never remember all the commands mapped if I mapped buttons with every Mode on the throttle. Plus DCS button limit is 128. I currently have one command mapped to a button in Mode 2, that is it.
