Mud Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hey folks, Can anyone explain how the new AB detent option in the settings works?

razo+r Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If it is disabled, you do not need to press the finger lifts. If it is enabled you need to lift the finger lifts in order to get AB on the carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Ah ok, I thought it was actually to set a detent for the AB. Good to know it's for the finger lifts! Thanks Razo+r!

triplec76 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Odd thing I noticed today was that I also needed fingerlifts in the air with it enabled. If I unchecked the box, everything works as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GafferDCS Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Odd thing I noticed today was that I also needed fingerlifts in the air with it enabled. If I unchecked the box, everything works as expected. Feature of the new update. Same here. Its nice/useful in the air to have this as it will keep you from inadvertently going into Burner (and giving away your position). However the annoying thing, if the throttle is advanced past MIL, pressing the finger lifts won't bring the throttle into burner. You have to reduce throttle, press lifts, then go forward to burner.

markturner1960 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi, where is this new option? I cant find it.... I have a warthog and since update, cant get the AB to kick in ( this is in free flight, so its nothing to do with the carrier take off) What is the correct / best way to set up the throttle of the warthog please? In the other thread people are talking about setting the axis to slider etc......

markturner1960 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Is the AB physical detent a feature of newer warthog models? I dont have it on mine......

Nealius Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Is the feature only for throttles with detents? This doesn't appear to do anything on my X52. I have it checked and the AB functions exactly the same as it did prior to the update. I do not need finger lifts when in the air or on the ground.

Fri13 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The real throttle requires either to use the finger lifts to allow throttle to go to relight position, or just apply more force by pushing throttle over the lock. So in emergency situations you just push throttle in without playing with any locks there. That is challenging here. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

hawk2495 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Yeah, it's a nice little feature for throttles that don't have the physical detent. Having a Warthog though, with the detent in position, I kept getting killed in certain situations because I kept forgetting to hit the button... Yeah, that got shut off quick...lol Why is the rum always gone!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I really like it. I don't have a physical detent on my throttle either but I'm already getting used to having the finger lifts mapped to my throttle on a button and using it when necessary. Nice feature.

Yeah I am liking it also, saved me from installing the AB detent in my Warthog throttle. Finger-lift works great for me.

SolUniverse Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 what do you guys mean by finger lift? I installed my dent and made it so i can push past it to enable AB but it wouldnt turn on and just found out this AB option in settings.. not sure what to set it to.

==Wiggy== Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I filed down my AB detent tab in my warthog so that it provides a firm defined stop point but I can now just push through without having to lift the throttles over the stop. Perfect solution. Now all I need is a good curve setting to get 100% RPM at the detent and AB as I push through. Anyone have a good setting for the axis?

I installed my dent and made it so i can push past it to enable AB but it wouldnt turn on and just found out this AB option in settings.. not sure what to set it to. AFAIK, the real Hornet has two finger lifts that you need to lift in order to move into AB. If you have a physical detent on your throttle, you should disable the finger lifts setting in the Misc Options tab. They're there for people with throttles that don't have physical detents and it's a way for the player to avoid going into AB by accident. You have a way of knowing where AB starts, since you have a push-through detent on your throttle. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

I 3D printed a push-through detent for the Warthog and I have the Slider and User Curve boxes ticked. The actual settings will depend on your detent. I went by trial and error and I tried having a linear response throughout the entire travel. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Perfect solution. Now all I need is a good curve setting to get 100% RPM at the detent and AB as I push through. Anyone have a good setting for the axis? For the Viper and the Warthog throttle, I tuned the axis and played with "saturation x". After a LOT of testing, I ended up with that number at 68. For me, matches the gate with the warthog detent pretty spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
