Gettig the F-18 throttle in game to match orion 2 in cold start

[Briareos]

I recently moved from a thrustmaster warthog throttle to an orion 2 throttle with fingerlifts. Everything works except for the the throttle movement during cold start. The only way I have found to get the throttle to unlock is to bind the Rshift+Home to a button on the throttle handles. But then this moves the throttle in the game to the idle position while my orion 2 throttle is still in the off position. And if I move the throttle to the idle position then the game throttle moves forward as well so that when I am in the idle position with the orion 2 I have already moved the throttle in the game to half way up. With the warthog it had a button assign to the throttle movement so this was not an issue. So does anyone know how to get the orion 2 throttle to align up the game throttle when doing a cold start? Is there a guide on maybe how to edit the lulu file or something. Or is their a way to get either the axis to act as a button or a button to act like an axis? Other wise I have to just keep the orion 2 in the idle position when doing a cold start and I just wasted money on a throttle with finger lifts that is useless when wanting to use the finger lifts to move from off to idle. Hopefully someone can help me out here I would really appreicate it.

Dude…

the orion has 2 hidden buttons along the throttle axis.

1 button when it is full aft (Cutoff) and one at the idle position. Those are the green lights that you see lighting up in the SimAppPro software.

Just assign them to the respective action in DCS by double-clicking that action (i.e. „cutoff“) and then moving the throttle to that position.

 

EDIT: currently not at my computer. I can recheck the exact wording for the „cutoff“ and „idle“ action. But it is sonething along those lines.

@Briareos

@Phantom711 is correct. Here's my settings for my Warthog.

Thanks for the input. I was seeing the simapp pro green lights in the idle and off position but when I was in dcs and I clicked in the keybind section no buttons were showing up as I moved my throttle up and down.  Only after you mention about the green lights in the simapp pro having buttons did I look to the left of side of the app and see which buttons were comming up. Then it was just a matter of getting them assigned. 

Thanks

Happy you got it solved.
