BobWard Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Since the CH Pro throttle does not have an AB detent, I am trying to find a way to use the full range of the throttle for 0 to 100% military power and then assign a button on the throttle to kick in the AB. Has anyone done this? Right now, my AB is cutting in at around 68% power. Thanks, Bob Quote

Thanks, Bob Bob, The only thing you can do about that, is to adjust the entries in each aircraft's flight dynamics file to force ab to kick in only above a set RPM and throttle travel. Try this model, which already has the throttle/rpm edits: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=9734 Quote
BobWard Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Guys, I just added this post over at the CH Hangar to see if any of the CH folks can help on this issue. We need to figure out a way to remedy this problem. This is very unrealistic to be flying around in AB all the time. I cannot go past 68% power without lighting the AB. For one thing, this will cause you to run out of gas in a very short time. I wish I had some programming skills but I don't. So there is not a lot I can do to help out. I will try to get an E-Mail in to Thirdwire to see if they can do a simple patch that would allow CH throttles to use 100% power (without AB), and then add a a new keyboard command that would light the AB. As an interim measure, is there any way that we could calibrate the throttle so that the last half-inch of throttle movement would engage the AB? Maybe Bob Church would have some ideas. I am optimistic that we can get something worked out. Bob Quote
