Throttle Uncage mapping to Hotas

[Orestd]

Hi. I just got the A10C and I just noticed That I can't map the throttle engine start to my Thrustmaster. I use VR and RALt Home and RCntl Home is a bit awkward. All the other aircraft allow me to map the throttle uncage to my hotas throttles. Thank you

Actually, that should already be preconfigured for you with the Thrustmaster Warthog. Once in the cold and dark pit, move either throttle from OFF to IDLE and this should be reflected in the DCS A-10C.

 

However, at the start of a mission, DCS might not be "aware" of your actual throttle position, so it might be necessary to move the throttle from OFF to IDLE, back to OFF, and once more to IDLE for DCS to catch up.

^^^ This ^^^

 

Part of my routine for a cold and dark startup (A-10, F16, F18) is to move them from normal range back into the OFF position once I load in to the cockpit. The OFF position has a momentary switch that is engaged when the throttle handle is there. Works as intended every time once I got into that habit.

Or if you activate "synchronize cockpit controls with HOTAS" from the options menu, it should work right away.

Unfortunately not. At least for me and others.

Well the option is there and all I can tell is that it works perfectly fine for me. So it´s worth a try for the OP.

This causes myriad other problems and is not reccomended.  If I have it checked, I often have an uncontrollable pitch up after take off, and other control synchronization problems.
