cannot bind winwing super taurus throttle to Huey collective

[skypickle]

Opening up Controls in DCS open beta latest shows this:

Opening up box labeled "collective " allows the analog thumbstick to be assigned to it(either motion of the thumbbstick - vertical or horizontal) but NOT the WinWing throttle motion. The Winwing joystick base has no problem getting assigned to cyclic pitch and roll.

 

Also, Opening up box labeled "throttle" allows the analog thumbstick to be assigned to it(either motion of the thumbbstick - vertical or horizontal) but NOT the WinWing throttle motion.

 

For some reason, the Winwing throttle motion is not recognized in the Huey. It IS recognized just fine in the A10C and the F18.

Inside 

C:\Users\Stefan\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet\joystick

as well as inside

C:\Users\Stefan\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\A-10C II\joystick

is a file named

WINWING THROTTLE BASE1 + F18 HANDLE {E33C7250-60FB-11ec-8002-444553540000}.diff.lua

I copied that file to 

Inside C:\Users\me\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\UH-1H\joystick and restarted DCS.

The Winwing throttle is still ignored and cannot be assigned to the collective. The 'Flight Control Collective cell' has 'JOY_Z' in it but nothing happens when the WinWing throttle is moved both ways. Deleting 'JOY_Z' and opening the cell also does not allow WinWing throttle motion to be assigned 

Other buttons on the throttle can be assigned just fine. For example the 'pinky switch' forward and back can be assigned tozoom in and out. The top 4 way push can be assigned to different views.The buttons just next to the ministick can even be made into modifier buttons and they all work.

Inside C:\Users\me\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\UH-1H\joystick are these files:

I succesfully used my old TWCS throttle in the past as a collective for the HUEY and have two different working configs. I opened up 

TWCS Throttle {0C6ADB20-45EC-11eb-8002-444553540000}.diff.lua and is this:

I duplicated that file and renamed it to 

WINWING THROTTLE BASE1 + F18 HANDLE {E33C7250-60FB-11ec-8002-444553540000}.diff.lua

 

I still cannot assign the WinWing throttle to the collective function. However I can assign ANY other axis of ANY other controller to be the collective. What do I have to do to get my Winwing throttle to behave for a collective in the HUEY?

[MustangSally]

Reverse your axis.

 

 

[skypickle]

You misunderstand. DCS does NOT recognize it AT ALL. If it was an axis reversal problem, I should see some movement reflected in DCS.

sOLVED: need to move the throttle past afterburner detent for ENTIRE excursion.

Isn't this the way it is?  100% axis is always beyond afterburner detent, and 0% axis is at IDLE.
