Elf1606688794 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Both the Virpil software and Joystick Gremlin see 79 buttons on this throttle. I can find (via button presses) buttons 1-55 and 67-71. Where are 56-66 and 72-79?
Wostg Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) I haven't counted up the numbers on my fingers but I'm guessing: "5-WAY MODE DIAL Configurable as either 5 independent button inputs, or as 5-way shift modifier, allowing you to configure up to 5 actions to every input. You won't run out of space for your keybinds with the MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle." Edited April 25 by Wostg 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly

That said, the Virpil Joystick tester software lets you depress buttons on your controls and you see the corresponding button in the software light up. You can get buttons 1-55 and 67-71 to light up. 67-71 is the 5 position mode selector. Where are the others?
Markus77 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Hi, perhaps these are the standard axis to button assignments. Greetings

Wostg Posted April 26 Posted April 26 When the mode switch function is activated in the VPC software it will hardwire the 6 led buttons to different assignments based on mode. (as opposed to the dial just being 5 regular buttons if set that way). You can choose either mode in the VPC software. I think guy above is probably right though. You can set, say, the flap axis to pretend to be buttons. So if the A10 had no flaps axis but DCS did have up/mvr/down buttons: you could set say 0-10% to be flaps down, 10-90% to be mvr, 90-100% to be up. Those would show as your missing 3 buttons. Probably. 2 1 I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
imacken Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Yep, the mode switch modes 2-5 buttons are 56-79. Buttons 80+ are the virtual buttons for detents, flaps, etc. Intel i7 12700K · MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 · ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A Wi-Fi · MSI 32" MPG321UR QD · Samsung 970 500Gb M.2 NVMe · 2 x Samsung 850 Evo 1Tb · 2Tb HDD · 32Gb Corsair Vengance 3000MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · Tobii Eye Tracker 5 · Thrustmaster F/A-18 Hornet Grip · Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Base · Virpil Throttle MT-50 CM3 · Virpil Alpha Prime Grip · Virpil Control Panel 2 · Thrustmaster F-16 MFDs · HTC Vive Pro 2 · Total Controls Multifunction Button Box
