Throttle Swapping

[Animal451]

If I have the Orion2 Viper Ace and Orion2 Navy Ace, can I just change throttles when changing from the F18 to the F16 and back when I change jets without having to reprogram the controls in DCS?

Of course! As long as you have bound them correctly, and haven't bound anything on the one you disconnect on the module you want to fly.

Just save and load the correct keybind profile per device (and plane of course)

You could also keep both throttles connected (correct profiles stil apply), but this might get a bit confusing

Just be aware that Windows may decide to give the devices a new ID when you unplug and replug them which can mess with your bindings.  You can rename the config files, but it may not be as easy as unplug/replug (which may work, especially if you shut down your computer when doing it, but no guarantees).  If you're leaving both plugged in there is no issue.

As an example, a squad mate realized they hadn't plugged there joystick in, and since they had VR up and on they just plugged it in "hot" and it changed ID's which messed with the bindings.
