I've watched the tutorial videos and read the manual. From what I have been able to understand so far, I can set the throttle to trigger a virtual button when it is touching a detent. What I don't understand how to make it to do that when it is below the detent. The reason being is that in DCS the A-10C II has two throttle function triggers, one that sets the left throttle to the off position and another one that sets the right throttle to the off position. This is important becasue when I do a manual startup checklist (not an Autostart) the A-10C needs both throttles to be in the off position before it can begin the engine-start sequence; later in the checklist it needs the throttle to be moved out of the off position and into the idle position. If you have the throttle in the idle position instead of the off position when you begin the engine startup sequence then the engines will not start.
I do not want the throttle-off function to be triggered just by touching the detent. When I'm flying, I want to have the engine in the idle position (not the off position) when is touching the top of the detent. Otherwise I could easily turn off the engines when what I wanted to do is set them to idle. For obvious reusing I do not want that to happen.
There is no single function within the DCS A-10C II module that sets both the left and the right throttle to the off position with a single keypress, each one of them has their own dedicated throttle-off button/key triggers. I want to set one each for when the left throttle axis is below the detent (below, not just touching,) ditto for the left throttle axis. How do I do this?
My HOTAS hardware is a STECS Modern Throttle Standard STEM XT2 v2.199 with a VKBsim Gladiator EVO R XT2 v2.199 The device config software is version v093.43 (NJoy32 firmware v2.19B). The OS is Windows 11.
How do we set the STECS throttle to trigger a virtual button when above/below a detent?
