A PSA for anyone out there like me that has not spent any time in the DCS controls configuration menus of late. I discovered today as I was re-configuring some controls while revisiting a module I hadn’t used in a while that a checkbox for hardware AB detents has been added to the “axis tune” settings!
So far it seems to work, at least in my limited testing of the F16 and F18 modules.
I set the axis to “slider” and then matched the “max” value to my physical detent. In my case this is 74% per the Virpil control configurator. I set the “AB” where I wanted the afterburner to engage. In my case that is over the hump of my physical detent at 86%.
Voila! it works for me. Mil power at 74% throttle, min afterburner at 86%.
No more fiddling with curves or looking up detent calculators!
I was today years old when I finally spotted this menu item. I’ve been playing in VR and on my monitor 3440 x 1440 widescreen and I could barely read the briefings. Duh…
When I typing that out you did come to mind. I’ll have to look further; I don’t have the 3D printer (never had one). Pursing this had slipped to the far aft section of my brain over time.
