July 17, 20241 yr Hi All, I am using the A10 Throttle Quadrant and Joystick from Thrustmaster with MSFS2020. Most of the buttons are 'momentary' and therefore are picked up by MSFS or of course AAO. There are a number of switches on this throttle (some 2-way and some 3-way) which do not appear to be momentary. They are not detected by MSFS/AAO. Has anybody managed to configure the 2-way switches with AAO? I appreciate there is probably a prior step to this (maybe using their target software) but I wanted to reach out to this community to see if anybody has managed this successfully Also, has anybody managed to configure the reverse throttle buttons (beyond the standard detent) with AAO to effect reverse throttle? Many Thanks for your help (or pointing me somewhere else if this is not the right forum).
July 17, 20241 yr Author I have since found out that FSUIPC is able to see these 'two-way switches' so hope AAO can do the same

AAO doesn't care about "momentary" or "multi state", but it does care about it sending a proper joystick event. How do those switches appear on the Windows USB Game Controller dialog? LORBY-SI
July 17, 20241 yr Author AAO is working perfectly Lorby. It is detecting all the events. I think the complexity with the Warthog Throttle switches is some of them are 3-state. They go on, middle and off. So, might need a script to handle this. Button, the on/off switches are seen as different buttons. So is the reverse detent, its not an axis, its a button (so should be able to activate reverse thrust hold events, I hope!

I would imagine that a three way switch is "Button 1 ON <-> BOTH OFF <-> Button 2 ON? Or three different buttons altogether, all three going ON/OFF? Edited July 17, 20241 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

Thanks!
