RTS354 Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I recently purchased the Thrustmaster Viper TQS, and I cannot get the off to idle function to work. There is no physical l button for the idle function, just a physical button for the off position. So, I have to move the throttle from the off to idle to off to idle to get the F-16 engine to spin up. I tried using the target software, but I saw no options in the software to do this. Has anyone figured out how to get this throttle to work correctly?
MAXsenna Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) @RTS354 It goes to IDLE when the button is OFF. So, configure this for button ON. Edited November 19, 2023 by MAXsenna
RTS354 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 That didn't work. I selected the blank box and moved the throttle to off which selected button 18 on the throttle which is correct when in the cutoff position.
RTS354 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 The throttle moves into idle, but the engine won't spin up pass 20. When I assign two other buttons on the throttle for OFF and IDLE, they work, but not the "Throttle off <hold> IDLE" setting. OK, I had to restart DCS to make it work. I never had to restart DCS before when binding controller buttons. This may be an issue with how ThrustMaster handles virtual buttons. Thanks for the help.
