Here's my throttle configuration for my Cougar. It sets up the throttle as an analog range and a digital range that steps the throttle smoothly up to 100% before WEP turns on. When you pull the throttle back, as soon as the throttle pulls below 100%, WEP automatically disengages.

Rem ----------------------------
Rem Throttle
Rem ----------------------------
REM Throttle to second detent as normal, past detent as WEP on/off
THR 5 13 (80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 96 100) UNLOCK (THR) LOCK (THR, 80%) LOCK (THR, 82%) LOCK (THR, 84%) LOCK (THR, 86%) LOCK (THR, 88%) LOCK (THR, 90%) LOCK (THR, 92%) LOCK (THR, 94%) LOCK (THR, 96%) LOCK (THR, 98%) LOCK (THR, 100%) WEP

@inominate

I've build a profile using XD can you test it and give me some feedback ?

Hello,

This is the first time I use the Dhauzimmer driver and XDprofile,
I tried out your profile, I like most of the settings, only made one little adjustment. Your profile seems to have a few problems with buttons locking (it has happened for view and firing), from what I can see, buttons are being released properly. The problem seems to come when using the shift button on the joystick. Right now I don't have time to write more, but if you have any idea and need more info please ask. I would like to get this working better!

There is an easier way to put WEP on the throttle without a large array of throttle statements and LOCK and UNLOCK commands. The new THR_RANGE statement has made is far easier to compress the throttle output to a smaller physical region of the throttle travel. I've used the following command in my profiles for Aces High, IL-2 Sturmovik and Warbirds III:

USE THR_RANGE (0%, 90%)
THR 5 1 (98 100) (/P WEP /R WEP) Rem Wep at 98% of Throttle Travel

With this command you now get 100% throttle output at 90% of the throttle travel allowing a space of 10% at the end of the throttle travel to place your WEP command. In the above example at 90% travel you're at 100% throttle then moving the throttle to 98% of it's travel engages WEP...why 98% and not 90 or 95%? I've found through testing that allowing around 8% throttle space means you are not bouncing between 100% throttle and WEP although you may want to decrease or increase this depending on how firm you set your throttle with the adjustable tension wheel (mine is set quite firm as I have bomber controls on the throttle and don't want to accidentaly change throttle position and break up a formation).

The first line tells the throttle that it will give 100% output between 0 and 90% throttle travel while the next line tells the stick it is a type 5 analogue input with 1 digital range area at 98-100% of the throttle travel which operates WEP which is pressed once as you enter this region and released as you leave it.

You need to be using the latest Cougar drivers and Foxy v3 and perform a manual calibration if you have not done so since your last flash upgarde (you can go back to auto calibration afterwards). The information to use this new command can be found in the FOXY help file.

BTW if you want any of them try the links below:

sorry to answer so late (I was on vacation)

But I gived up on switch for view as like you noticed sometime there is some sticky key

And I've been unable to sort out this trouble ..

You can do this with CH USB equipment too, with the new version of Control Manager.

--------------------

I have the same thrOttle setup. This allows me to slam it to the wall without having to hit any other buttons. I love my TM. Only thin is that my detents are now worn out and it will not hold in place like I like it too.

Or ANY programmable stick, or throttle.

Personally, I favor CH-Pro throttle, Pro-pedals, and the f16-Combatstick. 60 programmable buttons/hats to choose from.
