2 ways gate detant for the ENG COND Lever

[daniellegraham]

Hi, I have the VKB STECS throttle system which support multiple detants in the throttle axis.

Currently, I set my throttle axis to the ENG COND lever and also set the detant to the gate which allows me to enable the gate in the special setting.

However, currently there is only one key binding to the gate. If I need to move the lever to OFF position. I need to move my throttle all the way back and forward to cross my detant(in order to press the gate button) then go backward again to the OFF position.

If there are 2 ways gate buttons, then I can set one detant button to OFF -> GROUND, and another one to GROUND -> OFF.

 

BTW, I don't know if the real thing has the gate for GROUND -> FLIGHT or FLIGHT -> GROUND. If that is true, my STECS can also support it.

Wouldn't it be much more simple to go into special settings and get rid of the gate switch requirement? Looks like this switch is only a gamefication of the requirement to move the levers to the side a bit physically to overcome the detent and then pull it back further, which would be simulated just fine by your physical detents on your throttle system.

No. It cannot bcoz the physical detant maps a different virtual key from GROUND -> OFF.

You don't need a key for the detent when disabling the gate switch.
You only need to move your control lever beyond the specific angle representing the ECL detent ingame.
