TM Warthog A/B Detent curve

Recommended Posts

GUys sorry for the stupid question: do I have to remove the A/b separator between left/right throttle in order to use the A/B detend with the curves mentioned here?

 

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

I've used these numbers and set it up as described (Slider, User Curve, 0 - 6 - 16 - 24 - 33 - 43 - 57 - 67 - 80 - 90 - 100) on each throttle axis'. It seems to me that this custom curve has you at 100% throttle before you hit the AB detent. I thought that Mil power was 85% of the range and 100% would be AB5?

 

I like the curve but it seems that up against the detent while flying the pattern you are barely able to maintain AoA without going into AB1 with fuel at 9.0 or higher.

 

I'm not totally into modifying the AB detent to let you push through it. I have a #200 serial # and I've gotten used to pulling up on the handles. The only module that I fly without the detent is the A-10C.

If it doesnt match your detent 100%, just wiggle the numbers a little.

 

This is the Hornet curve Im using for my filed down detent.

- User curve

- Slider

0 - 7 - 15 - 24 - 34 - 45 - 57 - 70 - 84 - 95 - 100

 

I started with these base numbers, they worked for me. I had to jimmy the ones in the f15 a little bit. It took me a while to figure out the 2nd number is the one you need to move up or down to find the sweet spot for your particular throttle. Once I did, it's working perfect.

This is what I'm using with a 3D printed part from Shapeways, works perfectly for the Hornet

my F18 throttle settings; using the stock after burner detent.

 

1) tune your throttle using the tool found here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1084321&postcount=7

 

2) set the axis tune to slider and user curve; the following curve worked for me:

y4mu8-PTyBiVJ0PV4cj2o_1Vzux3YqAGCmtrkYFpRssARvmW3JY19nltzDNawdZV0w9wavtRhUdeoiRqxPZJcBTha7zcSMWzhGYkHyrT-grwBegI5zCERLqpn6UxZgHdQCk20R7PFEqoosDUDgpJrOpyYbAQXLEgp1KN9khGWETXqzio0elI6Wu02zL-4w3Enjo?width=632&height=644&cropmode=none

 

3) I dont have any real F18 pilots on hand so I worked out a curve that placed the physical throttle over the fourth and fifth setting for the on the user curve... on my setup this means I get a full engine range from idle (at approx. 69rpm) to full mil at (100rpm) - YMMV

 

hope this helps

This works for me with the Shapeway detent mod.

 

0-4-14-24-34-44-54-64-74-86-100

 

 

Thanks BuzzU, This works perfectly for the F-18C with Shapeway detent. :thumbup:

Here is what I am using, thanks for your post up above Strikeeagle345... I used yours as a baseline and tweeked it so that the speedbrakes are retracting automatically at MIL power when I come immediately against the AB detent.

 

Because the one you posted had the MIL power further into the detent for me...

 

Hope this helps some folks out.

Yeah, mine is for the Shapeway push through Detent. Mil is right up against the detent.:thumbup:

It's different per module.

 

OT:

I have a curve for the Tomcat using the stock WH-detent.

I'll update the OP tonight when I get back on the PC.

 

just so long as below AB level is pretty much linear, I find its needed to have fine throttle control when landing on the boat

DAMN... forgot to do it yesterday...

Sorry guys, I'll set a reminder for tonight :music_whistling:

It is pretty much lineair.

I have no problem with very fine throttle control on these curves.
