Throttle idle cutoff position with finger lifts

I'm just wrapping up my throttle quadrant functional replica and something is not giving me a rest. Am I missing something? It seems to be that it's impossible to move the throttle to idle cutoff position (engine OFF) without actually using the in-game command.

What this means for me is that I have to implement microswitches on my throttle so they are activated when I go past the detent. I've got the finger lifts made and working already.

 

Here's the main thread

No photos yet, but I'm close to finishing my stick and throttle replicas, mechanism-wise, leaving the rudder pedals as generic non-pendular.

It does require in-game command.

You could use software like joystick gremlin to trigger a button press when your throttle axis is at a certain %. ie, you could have your idle-max range of your throttle be detent to 100%, and from 0 to detent a virtual button is pressed via gremlin.
