Thrustmaster Warthog button.

[Ron Attwood]

Nice vague title.

On the Warthog throttle, when you close the throttle completely you hit the stops. Fine. Lifting the handle and bringing it back some more it triggers a button. In, for instance, the Lotus Sim L-39 this stops the engine.

On to the question: Which command in FSUIPC6 do I use for carrying out that function? I've trawled through the whole list and cannae find anything that looks likely.

My misty old mind seems to recall having that in P3Dv4.5 but of course I could well be wrong.

Okay.

Normally, on both props and jets, stopping the engine is by cutting the fuel off, which in FS (since FS98 I believe), and in P3D, is done by Mixture Lean, same as Shift+Ctrl+F1 with default keyboard assignments.

I'll give that a go. Thanks for being so quick. You a night owl as well? 🙂

I'm back.

Indeed, that does cut the engine but it doesn't move the throttle lever back.

I remember where that used to work. DCS L39. You could assign the button to do what it's supposed to do.

Considering this L39 has travelled with me from FSX right through to P3Dv5 it's a small price to pay. Thanks for your attention. G'night.

Addendum:

After RTFM session I re-discovered that you right click on the throttle to move it to the idle/cut off position.

I thought you'd like to know that. 🙂

Ok. Sorry, I thought you just wanted a way to stop the engine.

Good that you found what you wanted, though I thought you were pulling back the throttle manually!

Good afternoon. Yes I was pulling the throttle back manually but I couldn't get it to recognise the 'Lift and continue back to the button' movement. It's hard to explain if you don't know the Warthog. I made the assumption that everybody has a Warthog. Sorry.

[Pete Dowson]

Ah, okay. But it is the pressing of the button which you wanted stopping the engine? Not just the move back to the button? Is that section of movement not recognised as part of the axis range?

[Ron Attwood]

Ahah! Axis range! I didn't think of that.

I'll be back

Installing v5 HF. What we put ourselves through is outrageous. 😄

EDIT: Nah, no joy (ouch!) But I'm more than happy. Having said that, I was always of the opinion that FSUIPC could do EVERYTHING! 🙄
