Virpil MONGOOST-50

I set up my throttle for LED to come on at 80% to simulate AB in VPC Configurator. It works great when NOT in game. As soon as I put the burners on in flight, the LED`S begin to flicker and my cockpit view also becomes jumpy. I don`t understand this, seems to be a conflict within DCS. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for any help.

Have you got the vpc link tool doing conflicting stuff? I only ever used that for the leds

I'm on the old V1 Mongoost, with older software (since everything still runs fine)

I'm not using the modifier function, so keep that in mind that my shift states in the configurator don't do anything

 

This is my throttle setup in the Apache (which has two 3 position throttle/power levers), though Idle is idle, the AB travel isn't AB, but movement wise, they are just as equal

 

Basic state (s0) = green

0-10% on the throttle is button 78 on Axis 1 / button 80 on Axis 2 ON, enabling blue lighting

 90-100% on the throttle is button 79 on Axis 1 / button 81 on Axis 2 ON, enabling red lighting

S5 is my covered switch set to show orange when Open, this is when I have the APU running (as closing the cover will switch the APU Off)

That sounds like a dual key/Axis bind problem

DCS sometimes has the bad habit of assigning certain action to new hardware, regardless if you already have these mapped on a different peripheral

Go into keybind list and see what keys are highlighted when going into AB, check every device if the same action isn't assigned to other hardware as wel
