Wolf8312 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have plenty of levers and axes to use, perfect for the spitfire, but when I try to set things such as the mixture to an axes in the control options it never seems to work or register. Is it not possible to set things like the mixture (Which is a modelled as a lever) to a lever and an axes, or am I doing something wrong? Dont mind not having all of the levers set to axes but things like the mixture are important to be able to change quickly, and will greatly add to the immersion as they are levers anyway. Anyone tell me if this is possible? I think I was able to set RPM to a lever, but not much else.

DeepDrummer Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Although some software such as Target for Thrustmaster products can assign a key press or combination to a function which includes using an axis to operate a switch. The mixture lever in DCS is kind of Full rich or kind of idle cutoff off at present. For now I assigned that to momentary switches. DCS does not have an axis bind for mixture at present. I remain hopeful that an Auto Lean position will appear someday as well as the ability to start it in the full rich position instead of it always flooding the engine. In my opinion over-priming should flood it more often than starting in full rich. RL flight vids would have me believe it is started full rich in reality. I believe although I am not sure that most cruise situations would normally be in auto lean. It is hard to say with all the conflicting internet based so called facts. Win 10 pro 64 bit.

Bendix-Stromberg has four (later - three) fixed positions: IDLE CUTOFF AUTO LEAN AUTO RICH FULL RICH later devices have no AUTO LEAN, and AUTO RICH was named RUN. IDLE CUTOFF shuts down fuel injection fully, AUTO LEAN and AUTO RICH meter fuel with different strength (AUTO LEAN saves fuel at cruise but can kill engine at MIL or WEP) and FULL RI CH is very different: it meters like AUTO RICH a SL but it switches off air density correction, so as the altitude increases the mixture gets more and more rich. It is an emergency mean for the case of corrector failure. So, the axis for the mixture is not a right solution.

Wolf8312 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Has to be a better solution than setting what is modelled in the actual plane itself as a lever to a bunch of buttons though. ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible with your throttle if you use the Target software. I'll make a video right directly. Even if you don't used Target, it doesn't hurt to try one thing. One would disable just that axis in DCS as well remember if you're going to use Target to assign the axis to a key. I will put it on the incr/decr friction lever. I will add a post very soon.
