@benco thanks for sharing. Surprisingly, TM don’t publish this on the TQS support section for whatever reason…Information hiding to keep the support busy?
-
@r00t They’ve probably not got around to it yet.

@benco My radar cursor was aiming down unintentionally. Hope this helps.

@Ebubekir-Çağrı-Şen i had the same issue, i set “Large” in the “DeadZone” for “Cursor X and Y” in the “Avionics Control” tab.

@benco did the calibration help for this issue?

@wazza69 yes, it could :

@wazza69 No it doesn’t

I tried this, but for some reason it is not detecting the full range of motion for the throttle. Even with afterburner it is only about 75%.
Update! It works! I think I was pressing the comm switch too long, instead of just 3 seconds to start the calibration.

Does anyone use the Viper TQS in IL2 Battle of Stalingrad?
Update: Problem solved. Using the method in “Solution Found” did not change the calibration in BMS, and it did solve the issue in IL2 Sturmovik BoS.
I can’t set up the Thrustmaster Viper TQS throttle to work in IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad. All other buttons are recognized. Furthermore, it works fine in Falcon BMS.
I saw this solution, “SOLUTION FOUND”
"It’s necessary to change the position (on the throttle axis) where the button is activated.
To do so :- Move the throttle to the new position where you want the button activated (in that case, 100 instead of ~80%)
- Press and hold for 2 seconds the paddle + the chaff/flare button (on the side) "
I do not want to do that, because it will change the calibration, and I use this throttle primarily in Falcon BMS. I do not want to have to reset the calibration every time I go back and forth between Falcon BMS and IL2 BOS. Any ideas?
Is there anything else that I can try?

Thanks a lot for this procedure!
Unfortunately, I have an additional enigma here, and I hope somebody can help me out.Yes, it’s the well-known IDLE DETENT story.
I understand and appreciate the “PRESS” and “RELEASE” logic. But what I definitely do NOT understand is this:The tiresome BUTTON 18…
… the “trigger spot” should be located right BEFORE the bump, right?
I mean, inside the “engine-off” area.In my case, it is located (and triggering) exactly at the IDLE spot - actually AFTER the bump.
Can this be correct?
Can this be corrected?
I read in the calibration PDF file, that button 19 (the AB detent) can be fine-tuned by hardware.
But can button 18?Latest firmware 1.26 is installed…
EDIT - I opened a new thread about this issue: Viper TQS: Button 18 actually in the wrong place

Update!
I was able to solve my “button 18 displacement” with this calibration procedure - thousand thanks to @benco!Took me a couple of tries.
But I figured out that at the start of the calibration you probably need to keep button 5 pressed WHILE pluggin in.
Or simply keep pressing button 5 for longer than 3 seconds.Either way, I am relieved and happy
Thanks again mate!!!
