    Realizing that I can use the shift function to assign different functions to each switch using the mode dial blows my mind. I love it. Thanks!!!!

      There are enough videos to get you where you need/want to go. There are many things I still dont understand but I also try not to over configure the sticks so Im good. You will be too.

    Now I know I can add buttons to the mode switch, I'm going to have to re-think my DCS bindings.
    Maybe mode 1= green lights for start up/take off, mode 2= blue lights for navigation and mode 3 red for combat etc.
    Physical and logical buttons keep tripping me up but having your vids helps a lot, thank you.

    Great, thank you - I will try this out, maybe in conjunction with setting up my control panel 3 as a slaved device. Although that might cut into the number of physical buttons with multiple logical functions, if the total limit for the two devices is 128 logical buttons, where as leaving the throttle and control panel as unlinked units in theory would permit 2x128 logical buttons. Assuming anyone could remember that many buttons :-)

    Thanks.. I couldn't find any explanation of this modifier that I had to choose at the initial setup of the Throttle. Now It's rather logical coming from a X52 Pro it has a similar function but I had no clue that it meant this.

    Very Very Helpful. You are my bridge friend, can I call you a friend. I am a 10 year player of Warthunder. Previously had the Thrustmaster 4 Thotas. Was fine, until I stumbled on Virpil. Set up and install went well. Game Calibration has been a struggle, not any plug and play options, UI is great, but we need more to navigate these settings. I do have a question with something I would like to understand, the Flaps Lever on the right side of the base. I cant seem or have not yet found how to bind it. I am on my way to see video mentioned. Amazing how 5 and a half minutes of video has captured me for over an hour, watching, adjusting, rewinding. Much Appreciated! God Bless.

    Man, setting these things up really is a science unto itself.
    "Quick" question: Is it ok to re-use an existing profile when you update your VPC software? I've just done that today for my CM3 throttle (was using VPC version from 2022 IIRC) and the old profile seems to work as expected, but I did notice some minor stuff. Namely that the selector would not change back colors on the throttle's LED buttons when I set it to mode 5 - it would just stay on that mode's color when I rotated the switch back. Under "Shift Setup" button 5 was set to "TGL" instead of "ON" like all the others, so I simply changed that and now it seems to work again.
    Another thing I noticed is that I'm not getting the correct image for my throttle under the "Profile"-tab (just a red x icon) and it also isn't set to "5-way Shift" by default in the second pull-down menu in there. Doesn't seem to affect the throttle's behavior, but I do wonder if I should maybe make a brand new profile. Which I'm not looking forward to, since I remember setting up the throttle-axes to give me those engine on/off button presses below my detents was a bit of a chore.. :D

  • @ronja99

    Do the shifts only apply to the panel, or could you also shift Constellation Alpha buttons? Great video btw!

  • @DreezyMango
    @DreezyMango Před 5 měsíci

    I didn’t realise this would override my no-modifiers profile.. I didn’t have it saved or exported so when I followed this tutorial I lost all my key binds and custom detent settings. Is there any way to get that back or do I have to sit down for hours re doing everything again?
    I love your tutorials by the way, just this one killed me a little inside

  • @vilson.farias
    @vilson.farias Před 2 lety

    Is there a way to use this modifier to change de throttle axis ids/names? I play IL-2 and I would like to have profiles for single and two engines. Each profile would have a different axis layout. Unfortunately IL-2 don't let me create profiles for each plane, I was wondering if I could use this modifier for it.

    Can different modes have different ranges for axes calibrations? That is for mode 1 jet, I want the idle cutoff button activation to occur below the lowest value range for the throttle axis. Mode 2 helicopter, I would want the full range of motion to control the collective, ignoring the idle cutoff button.

      Yes you can. Check out my Mode tutorial you would set up your logical button to have a shift value on it. czcams.com/video/X7f-v6rOK4k/video.html

      @Sergio it is not. You would have to slave the panel to use the throttles 5 way modifier.

  • @sinepilot
    @sinepilot Před 2 lety

    The 5-way switch on my CM3 is set up correctly and works as intended. I also have the VPC Control Panel #1. When I have it slaved to the CM3, the 5-way switch will change the LEDs on the control panel along with the throttle, but the control panel doesn't actually have any more button bindings. Is this working as intended?

    • @JGandT

      You will have to manually add the shift to your buttons.
