Warthog idle and afterburner detents

[JB3DG]

Hey guys

 

So I finally joined the ranks of the warthog owners.

 

Got a question though, is there any way I can tie the button OFF commands for the idle detents in the throttles to the respective engine start commands without using TARGET?

 

Second, for the F-15C FC3 drivers out there, what saturation/curvature settings do you use so that the afterburner detents in the throttle match up with the burner position in the sim?

 

Thanks

Anyone?

Can't help you with the first question, but here's how to match the AB detent:

 

Set the axis type to Slider, and define a user curve.

Use the values below for both throttles:

 

0, 3, 6, 11, 23, 45, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

 

This will give you 100% dry thrust with the throttles against the AB detent.

Pull them over the detent to enable afterburner.

 

Haven't tested this on the F-15 though, but this curve works for me on the Su-27, Su-33 and MiG-29.

Cool stuff thanks

Click in the control setup on "stop engines" and pull the throttle over the idle detent.

Save your settings and exit DCS.

Now open "Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\F-15C (or any other aircraft)\Joystick\Throttle - HOTAS Warthog{...device ID...}.lua".

Find the line for engine stop and modify it to something like this:

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN29"}, }, down = iCommandEnginesStop, up = iCommandEnginesStart, name = "Engines Stop", category = "Systems"},

Notice this part:

up = iCommandEnginesStart

PS: A very good guide for control setup inside the .LUA files is this one:

It would be very cool if we can set manually the idle and AB position,just like in the BMS.
