Actually it's very easy.

Set Curvature=0, check Slider option and tweak it with Saturation slider.

 

nope. I dont want to lose my full range of throttle.

 

thats what i use now

I got your point, I just don't feel it that way.

TM Warthog throttle has 14-bit DACs. It means you have 16,384 values of throttle available. Even if you lose 11% of it (my case scenario), you still won't miss a thing.

 

BTW, I meant Deadzone before, not Saturation. My mistake.

I've tested your custom curve. It's better than my solution in term of MIL position.

It gives full 100% rpm. Mine was around 95-96%. Thanks.

My afterburner-detent from shapeways arrived.

Installed it.

Tested it.

Liked it... a lot!

 

Conclusion:

This piece of plastic is fantastic!!!:D

 

I've never used my "throttle-detent-switch" (assigned on my warthog-throttle) again since I've installed this afterburner-detent, because there is simply no need for it anymore!

This little plastic-thingy really does it's job!

 

I'm really really happy to have it now!

 

Thank you shapeways! :thumbup:

Can anyone tell me what type of plastic the detent is made from? Is it nylon, resin, etc? Going to print one for myself.

Very tough plastic, it needs to withstand a lot of abuse.

I printed mine with orange hatchbox pla that I had loaded in my printer at the time.

 

 

No issues what so ever. It is a small part, doesnt take a lot of material. I printed 2 or 3 off when I did mine just to have a few spares but have not had to replace it yet.
