Light grey 'extra throttle' on Warthog throttle

Along the right side of the base there is a light grey lever that looks a lot like a throttle on a stick. The handbook either doesn't label this or says it's a throttle friction adjuster. It definitely isn't that as the friction adjuster is a roller wheel at the front of the base. I notice there is a slight notch at it's center of travel. What do you guys use this for on an FA18?

It's the throttle friction adjuster in the real setting, i.e. an A10, but is implemented as another analogue axis on the Warthog throttle (the 'real' friction knob being at the top edge as you note).

 

 

Map it to what you want, view zoom etc.

That is an excellent idea. I could use the notch as my standard position and then be able to zoom in or out from there. Thanks for the idea.

Hornet: radar antenna elevation

Harrier: nozzle lever

Warthog: empty I think

Tomcat: empty

 

I like the gear lever idea though.

I like the gear lever idea though.

 

 

For the Hornet:

Controls Gear_Handle_UP, Launch_Bar_Control_Switch_EXTEND_RETRACT, Gear_Handle_DOWN, Arresting_Hook_Handle_Up, and Arresting_Hook_Handle_Down.

 

Also set up Catapult_Hook_Up to be activated by the L/G Warning Silence Button when the Launch Bar is in the down position.

 

.tmc code f/ F18:

 

//  F18C friction lever mapping.  

//Place this in the "main" function of .tmc

MapAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, DX_SLIDER_AXIS);
   SetJCurve(&Throttle, THR_FC, 50, 50); 
   KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 0, AXMAP2( LIST(0,10,30,60,90,100),                                                        
                                                       EXEC("Gear_Up_State();"),                //    DX37
                                                       EXEC("Launch_Bar_Toggle();"),            //    DX40
                                                       EXEC("Gear_Down_State();"),                //    DX36                                                        
                                                       PULSE + Arresting_Hook_Handle_Up,        //    DX39
                                                       PULSE + Arresting_Hook_Handle_Down        //    DX38
                                                        ));
