Afterburner detent deadzone does not work

[some1]

The setting in the options has no effect, there is no deadzone for afterburner detent.

I use split throttle with separate axis for left and right engine.

Might be a case of double-checking mappings and options? Mine was off at first but fine after setting detent to 75 and deadzone to 10 in Options > Special (which is consistent with what I have set to for F-15E, also with independent axes for each engine).

Same here, detent point can be adjusted and works as expected, but not the dead zone. I tried increasing the dead zone to 50% but didn't notice a difference

Ah OK, I think I also have some dead zone for the detent dialled in at controller level too (Virpil TM3) so not sure how the in-game setting ties in with that.

Dead zone is not a per cent quantity. It is per thousand. If you set it to 50, it will be 5%

Not according to Heatblur's own manual. Either way, doesn't work.

That is how it works for me, I spent like an hour yesterday until noticed that the symbol for the deadzone is not % but o/oo. The manual is correct although confusing, because to set that 2% deadzone, you need to input a value of 20 o/oo.

Right, that is actually a tiny o/oo. Thanks!

Ok, now I see what you mean, you need to set a large number there to actually see any effect at all.

So for example 100 on the slider is a 10% deadzone, and contrary to what the manual says, it's the total deadzone size, so +- 5% on each side of the detent.
