Thanks Jon! Needed this video to change my t-50cm3 throttle flaps axis to a 3 button. An hour and a half on my own, 15 min. with your vid solved this. The Save VPC button I wasn't doing. Goofy in the head me, now again (for awhile) sharp as a tack me.
If you feel limited by the 8 options you and you don't need fine tuning in the range, it's better to use the in-axis menu and choose 0%,50%,100% or 0-20%,21%-40%,... I've used that for my flaps handle as a landing gear and saved 3 axis to button options. Thanks for the informative video!
With the type set to "Hardware", I've gotten it to work I think. Instead of Value % you have to use the "Raw Value" that the throttle outputs to set the range. This works for me for my recently bought CM3, but the actual number value I have from "Raw Value" is crazy different from what I see you have, so it will have to be custom for each person's throttle. I really wish virpil updated their docs on this stuff. It's been non stop trial and error for me.
This is what I discovered as well. This works great in combination "Both Detents" calibration setting. It lets me set up a dead zone at the bottom for idle, and exactly control the output between the idle and the second detent (i.e. set afterburner to exactly 80). It works so much better than user curves.
I do wish they'd update their documentation. There are a number of settings that I don't have any idea about.
could there be a way for the community to manage some group documentation, like wikivirpil or something. so many smart nerds have got to be able to suss these problems out and write them down somewhere, if their hive mind could be brought to bear. thanks for posting regardless, today i learned.
@@FredDamstra Hi, can you explain it more? I am tring to set up detents on my throttle and your method looks the best for me but I am not sure how to do this
oh my god thank you i tried so much to get this to work in star citizen so i can turn off and on my ship at the beginning of my throttle it works perfect for me the hardware numbers startet at around 42000 so i set the axes to start at 42500 and the buttons are between 42000 and 42500 so my ship doesnt start flying immediatly when turning the ship on^^
Very nice. I just got my CM3 today and programmed the flaps lever as a speed brake. Works awesome!
Virpil needs to update their documentation.
Best video out there on this - not got it to work perfectly for my detents as set but at least I now know what everything does and why it does it - top man!
THANK you sooo much. I was stuck for a month coz I didn't know how to use the new software. and yours is the only and first tutorial that shows this.
thank you! i did not understand how to proceed until i found this - appreciated!
The VPC CM3 has just arrived :-) and I absolutely didn't know how to set the throttle in the A-10. Thank you so much for this super useful tutorial (and very well done, simple and clear). Now I'm just asking myself how to set the throttle in the Hornet, for example and how to set flaps.
This information is very appreciated! It is very flexible and capable software and because of that it can be a bit complex ... until someone takes the time to walk through it. Thumbs up!
Don't the sims directly talk to the device? Like, is this software needed?
@@dabneyoffermein595 yes, each button, hat switch, toggle switch, rotary encoder and axis can be mapped directly in whatever sim you are running … there are some interesting “advanced functions” that can be programmed by the Virpil software in addition to the basic outputs … like having an axis generate a button press when one moves the axis within a particular range (0%-20% = b52).
@@thomaslamont3237 Great info!!! Thank you for the detail!
Thank you so much for creating this video, you are a lifesaver!
THANK YOU! just got this all working flawlessly now. how would you do it for the Classic Plus detent for afterburner?
You make this look easy. Thank you so much
Thank you!!!👏😃
Thx Jon, really helped me out...great video
I need to update mine for Star Citizen. Thank you.
Great, clean explanation!
You are the best!!,thanks
did everything you said , I have 4 virtual buttons 73-76 and they show up on the software, but not in game , i saved to device also
nice!
Thanks!
If you set this up like this, DCS doesn't see the Throttle go to 0%. Can someone explaining how you get around this, please? Thanks
I just got my virpil set. Do you have a tutorial that makes both sides of the flip switches on the throttle into button presses ? The red toggle lever only registers one button push when pushed into the up position. But when pushed down; nothing happens.
Make sure when setting the % it's in ascending order (ex: 0-45, 55-100). If it is descending (ex: 45-0, 100-55) it won't work.
Hi. Thx for this tut. I wonder what if you calibrate throttle axies like this. For A-10 is ok, but what with other plane or games? For example in other title a plane can start rolling even if you have your throttle down right to the detent, yes? Because it sees axis start before detents.
Thanks, this should help setting up the flaps too. One question, if you configure the device WHILE DCS is running does DCS sees the new logical buttons?
Yes you can configure while in game.
@@JGandT Thanks, You helped me get over the initial overwhelming impression of this software. I've begun to like it partially thanks to you. It's now working well. Thanks again!
@@JGandT Just wanted to mention I had to create a dead space about 2% between off and on zones. I would like to be able to set the engine to idle while using the acrobatic detent. I did not find the rest of the detents exact enough.
hi, I bought a Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle for the PMDG Boeing 737-800 (besides the VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Joystick). Now I would like to know how you have assigned the "flaps" on the MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle? There is an axe on the throttle. Or did you assign the different flaps grid settings by buttons on the joystick (because easier)?
Another question is, is it also enough to assign the flaps only in the MSFS 2020 ingame assignments (extend and retract with only 2 positions, instead of several?
I actually want to be able to operate the flaps according to real procedures. Can you please give me tips on how to assign the flaps in the Boeing 737-800 with multiple positions forward and backward?
.
Can you do a video on how to setup the Flap handle again by turning it into three buttons. The old method does not seem to work. When I added the Flap handle (rz axis) it stepped on the logical buttons by using the same ones already assigned to the throttle.
I will get a video out.
I followed the guide, and I can get the throttle to recognize the axis as button pushes in the VPC software, but when I try to add them to DCS, nothing happens. The control menu doesn't react when I move the axis levers, and I can't manually enter '72' as a button. :( Any suggestions? I'm baffled as to what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance!
im having same issue
@@pcgamernw5702 DCS divides the throttle into 2 different controllers - try the other one. Weird, but that seemed to do the trick. Something about 32 buttons max per controller?
@@madaxe606 only one controller listed
i had to restart dcs and it picked these up ok after that
I got this to work but noticed that when I have my throttle as far back as possible in idle, my plane still moves as if I'm adding input. Any way of preventing this? For some reason, DCS is interpreting my throttle as both axis and button.
You will need to add dead zone on dcs check out this video. czcams.com/video/tG3dRJ0Ryfc/video.html hope this helps
doesnt work
Make sure the lower value is always on the left side. I figure you invert (Higher on the left, lower on the right) does not work properly.
@@SewerShark dude thank you i was struggling
