min, mid, max
« on: October 29, 2021, 10:30:30 AM »
I am setting up my throttle and JS and I noticed for each if not all axis
there are min, mid and max settings.... I don't recall seeing these
before I left the game
I opened them and didn't see anything different in the options
What are they and how are they used?  :salute

Those are discrete functions of your analog outputs. My X56 throttle has 4 varible Potentiometer’s , one of which I use for my rudder trim. This function is a discrete function and not an analog function, but by using the Max and Min settings for that output, I can implement the rudder trim. Hopefully that makes sense. :D

Okay, here is another use I have for the ability. I gv alot, however there is no analog throttle control for gv's. I use my HOTAS throttle to control my gv speed anyway by using the Y axis min/mid/max function of the throttle to control the speed of my gv. min= Vehicle Accelerate, max= Vehicle Stop/Reverse, mid= No Function, I have the throttle setup to invert the output.

They convert the axis into 3 button presses. Min, mid and max could be 3 different functions.
