no bug Axis binds for ECL have issues with the detents [can be solved by special settings]

[Rongor]

After binding both ECLs to a separate axis, I noticed that they can only occasionally get retracted from ground detent to stop detents.

If they are in flight detent, there is no way to move them back out of flight from there by actuating a controller axis.
Right click on the levers ingame is required to have your controller axis actuate them again out of flight detent, though only until you reach the ground detent. Then another right click is necessary to regain control for moving them back further.

The other method to free the levers out of the detents to move them rearwards again is to bind buttons for ENG 1 and 2 COND Lever - PRESS TO GATE, only to require these button presses kind of defeats the idea to have the ECLs on an axis.

Ok, this is a non-issue when selecting the appropriate setting in the special options.

While that special option helps things, I think it would be great to adapt the levers to common features on throttle hardware.

Take something like the TM Warthog for instance, it has the switches built in for idle/cutoff like a lot of the jets feature. Could add a keybind to bring the ECL's into and out of the STOP position.

Something similar could be added for the afterburner detent to put the ECL's into the FLIGHT position.

Nice one Rongor. 

I was messing about with these the other day, or rather, they were messing about with me. I bound the ECLs to the WH axis but couldn’t suss it out. I’ll check that option setting later, see what’s what. 

cheers.

That option helps things a lot (I have the same throttle). Just have to watch the levers though to know when they are in the correct spot and out of the previous detent.

It already works like this for me with the Warthog, except the AB detent is in the incorrect position. Now, we have seen we will be able to tune after burner in jets. Would be awesome if we could do the same for the Chinook and the Apache.

you can rearrange your ingame detent with applying some mild curves, so it will match the physical detent on your hardware

Of course you can. Bailey might even add it to his calculator.
I actually rather get me a 3D printer.
