Setting Warthog "friction slider" to zoom?

[Corrigan]

Wasn't sure whether I should post this in this section or in In-out, but anyway:

 

I just got my TM Hog today, and I'm trying to sett the view zoom to the fake friction slider on the right of the throttles. Can someone explain to me how to do this? (Preferably without using TARGET.) I've read a few threads on this but I can't get it to work.

 

Thanks!

Go into A-10 sim (or game depending on which you play), choose axis commands, click on zoom view at the bottom on Warthog throttle and wiggle that friction slider.

Thanks, that was it!

 

Now a new, related, small problem: at some levels of zoom, the camera jitters back and forward slightly. Anybody else had this?

go this path:

>>> TM Warthod Throttle slider as Zoom Flickers

and - off course - pay special attention to my posting, as I show some workarounds.

and also have a look at this , because it heavily relates and give you insight about the "why":

>>> K-14 Range axis spikes like crazy

...potentiometers are not always up to the task (50ties technology...)... - we have to wait probably some years that the joystick producers spend about 1 dollar more for each axis , so they will use hall-sensors for all axis inputs!

Thanks a lot, buddy!

Congrats on your new toy/baby..

Cheers! The workmanship/build quality is outstanding.

Bump!

 

I've found through some Googeling that the jitters actually go away if you set the LED brightness to either full or off!

[Rusty_M]

Thanks for that Corrigan. That's utterly bizzare.

It is rather strange, yes. I'm glad I read about it, it's quite a big deal for me to be able to use the full continuous spectrum of zoom, rather than Peter's (clever) hotfix.

So I suspect this isn't common knowledge yet, and it should be, so bump!

I can confirm that full led brightness works on the jitters.

Great info! Now i can use slider for zoom again without going insane.
