CM3 throttle - FA/18 - Latest Virpil software: help

[Double Dutch]

Hello,

Due to moving I have not played for a while and when connecting all my virpil hardware I noticed that it was not working as before anymore.

I downloaded the new software, updated to the new firmware and noticed that it has changed a bit, what I read it should have been easier.

However, I have no clue how to configure it i.c.w. my 2 detents I have on the throttle. The first detent is between 0-7%, the second detente is 72 - 100%

 

Anyone know a good video on how to configure the Virpil software icw DCS stop -idle x-100% military power and then the afterburner range?

 

Thanks

Just look at my first post about setting up detents here. My method works well for me and has helped others  it might be useful for you

Thanks I found out that I just need to add the ranges and then automatically buttons are made

 

Do you know by any chance how to add additional functionality to radio/volume buttons by pressing it? I can't remember how I did that a year ago.

My guide wasn’t really about adding buttons, it was about setting up the detents making use of new features in the software. 
 

Not sure what you mean by ‘additional functionality’. Can you expand a bit?

I was hoping to drawn on your knowledge of Virpil and the throttle CM3

 

On the throttle you have dials E1 and E2. 

Before my reset I had them configured as follows:

- clockwise volume up/counterclockwise volume down

- press and turn clockwise Channel up/counterclockwise Channel down

 

But I can't for the life of me remember how I did it or find the Youtube video where it is described. What's in my mind buried very deeply is that I used the button when you press as a modifier and made it show in DCS under modifier.

Sorry about late reply, I was away for a couple of days.

Yes, you just go to DCS Controls, click on Modifier, add in your E1 and E2 press buttons, then just bind the modifier and the cw/ccw turn on E1/E2 and you have what you want to do.
