The thrustmaster warthog has an upper detent area that would be nice to set as WEP rather than using a button. It could be listed in AXIS settings as Throttle + WEP

Does that stick have any type of programmable software?
I programmed my Saitek X-52 to do exactly what you are requesting, by using the provided software.

Ch does this.

You can make several button commands along the range of your axii from within AH. In map controllers I think you can assign a button to low, middle and high end of range. Then mess with the scaling to tweak it. I messed with putting WEP on the throttle axis as a sort of faux detent but my CH throttle pot is too buggy. It would come in and out of WEP too much. Or I'd forget I was on WEP at takeoff and forget to nudge it down.

That's simply impossible to get perfectly right. The WEP is a toggle switch, and neither the stick nor whatever configuration software knows what it is toggled to at the moment. Also, stick doesn't know if the button press it executes when moving in/out of the WEP area is actually seen. It might not be seen if currently sitting in tower - and then then whole thing is inverted.
Toggle buttons are bad thing.

Yes Ch no detent but can set full forward wep. That is how mine is set. I run part throttle most of the time.

WEP is a button press. With the Warthog throttle Drano's idea should work but it's currently a lot easier to use a button for WEP.
So the wish is for an analog throttle setting that triggers WEP after 100% throttle,
which works best when you have a detent.

This feature works perfectly. I have my CH throttle set up this way. 90% throttle is 100%. the last 10% is WEP. Cross the 90% you get WEP, drop below, WEP turns off.
For the Thrustmaster you may be able to set the point before the de-tent as the 100% throttle setting, then when you push into the de-tent there will be reserve analog that can be programmed in the AH control setting to be WEP. Play with it and come back to he board for help.
but if the Wart hog has a de-tent that can be programmed for WEP, why do you need the analog one?

I assume this post detent area does not cantain an actual button push but is just a physical cue in the slider motion? if so then see above post. :salute
