Any use for the 5 leds on the Warthog throttle base?

As the title says. I know that they are controlled by the Target software but can they be used to indicate anything useful?

I have a Warthog throttle and I don't see any un-used LEDs??

On the base of the throttle there is a row of 5 leds which can be turned on and off with the target software.

Short answer: yes. :D

 

Slightly longer answer: I don't use them at all, but as an idea, they could be used to indicate that the cannon is selected in the Black Shark or that Gun/PAC is (not) switched on in the A-10C. Of course you'd have to use TARGET for this to work, which is why I ignore those LED's altogether.

 

Maybe someone will come up with better ideas, though. :)

Back when I got my Warthog I made a C++ library for controlling those lights if anyone is interested, its available here: http://junk.kegetys.fi/pahkasikaLED.zip (It uses target DLLs). I havent tried if it still works with newer(?) target though.

bind them to the LGL lights

Yes you can have those 5 lights come on with just about any event you want to bind them to, you can read how to do that in the Target Script Editor basics manual.

 

I myself do not use them.

Yes, including how bright I want each.

I use them to indicate which flap/gear setup I'm using in COD for the Spit/Hurri/109 and BF110.

I use them to indicate which layer (of the 6) that I'm in. As I have different aircraft set up under each layer.
