Harker Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I 3D printed a push-through AB detent for the Warthog because I didn't want to have to lift the throttles every time. For those who don't have a throttle that can accept an AB detent, another solution might be to stick a small piece of rubber or something on the throttle base, such as it touches the throttles as they move past it. That way, you feel some resistance when you reach it and you realize you're hitting your AB detent. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Tippis Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I 3D printed a push-through AB detent for the Warthog because I didn't want to have to lift the throttles every time. Another option is to just get out a small file or knife and shave off a mm or so off the top of the Hog's detent — it's really all the difference between having to lift and being able to push through. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

It's just that my throttle is still under warranty and I didn't want to mess with it. And I had a 3D printer handy. (The question is, would TM have refused the warranty if the detent was filed down?)

Tippis Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have a sneaky suspicion that they know their users and the use of their hardware better than to believe the “it got worn down from all the AB:ing, honestly!” excuse :P ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Bullant Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 What is wrong with just implementing the Falcon 4.0 option of the user setting an AB position on the travel range of their particular throttle. Probably one of the best control mapping options ever that has been continually ignored. Does Microprose have a patent on it or something? So much this! And can we have the same for the Hornet as well please :) ?

Donut Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hopefully, ED looks at this thread and offers various options for an afterburner detent to accomadate the many different throttles that are used. The more options the better! Another option that I hope ED offers is to have the AB detent button be bindable to an axis as well. It is currently not possible with the Hornet in the DCS controls menu. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uri_ba Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 How about "threshold" marking on the throttle curve? where AB kicks in and where the cut-off is (must have threshold cutoff for all the pit builders). (Axis cutoff as a special option would be excellent) It will help fine tune the curve. we park the throttle in IDLE and tune the curve to be just above the cutoff. then do the same to MIL. it will be helpfull for all aircrafts of course, not just viper.

Void78 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ab detent option?Are you guys talking about key config that lets you go from mil to afterburner? What happens if you are at a full mil power and you want to go full afterburner?You press the key and nothing happens.Instead u have to bring throttle down and than up again to get afterburner.Has that been fixed?

Other than hearing a sound when the detent is reached (while it is very helpful, has been determined to be unrealistic), have they implemented something else? Nope. Also TBH the 'clicking' sound doesn't really help you at all - as the throttle is making all manner of clicking and clacking noise throughout pretty much the entire range. You also don't even get any sort of Fuel Flow indication of AB either - only nozzle position. I am quite lucky as I use a Jetseat so I can feel the AB rumble.

Void78 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) What do you mean other than sound?Is that not enough? I do have option to use physical detent but i choose not to. I fly all the planes and helis on a semi regular bases.Don't need detent on a collective. I have just hoped that they have fixed behavior of ab key. Instead i will continue to use the feel for it(such as it is). P.S:Regarding realism..ab key is not realistic either..is it? 5:40 mark..you do hear it don't you Edited October 2, 2019 by Void78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny,for me,in Viggen and F 14 it really helps.And u do not hear clicking and clacking noise throughout pretty much the entire range;only at first 10% first click,and at 100% second(in a Tomcat). I guess it is a matter of personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShalashakaDS Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 As was already sugested, a simple threshold mark in the axis setting page would go a long way. Bonus points if we get the option to custumize the threshold, getting that custom curve just right can get a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
