Temporarily disable throttle inputs

[Adamski_NZ 867]

I have an X-56 throttle that suffers badly from [the dreaded] "throttle creep".

Is there a simple way that I can temporarily disable (or freeze) all input from both throttles? A script would be ideal, I suppose - but it's way beyond my skill set (!).

Would the software detents help with that creeping? You can define regions where the axis sends the same input value to the sim (by setting the lever just so and then right clicking into the grey bar). Or the filter setting?

Alternatively I'd suggest adding a Combo Button to the axis (the same one for all affected levers), possibly in "toggle" mode, so you can turn them on or off..

Increasing detents doesn't work, as the throttles *physically* creep forward ... way past any preset detent. You can just sit back and watch them go! It's hard to believe that a company like Logitech (ex Saitek) could produce rubbish like this. How it got past testing gawd only knows. The last resort is to take the thing apart and "de-gloop" it. I may end up having to bite that bullet ...

I'll try and work out what you mean by using the combo buttons. Probably easier to do than put into words. I'll report back ... and many thanks!

Edit: YES!!! I assigned the slider and ticked the "suppress axis" box ... it works beautifully! I'd no idea that the solution would be so easy to implement! So-o-o-o-o grateful!
