Delete Idle detent message
-
Good morning.
I´ve setted an Idle detent in Tusba and I have this message in BMS when is activated.
Any way to make this message not appears?
Thank you
-
Nobody?
-
@Skorp not sure I understand. The message goes away after a few seconds, right? And the detent position is saved? (I think you only ever have to do this once?) I might be mistaken, but I think that’s the idea.
-
@airtex2019 Yes, right.
I´ve assigned two DX positions in Tusba2, to Idle Detent and AF Detent, and each time the Cougar “passes” DX assigment the messages appears.
I don´t want to see both messages and I don´t know how to make it (if is possible, of course).
Thank you

@Skorp One of us is confused… I think the callback (command) you’re initiating is to re-calibrate the idle-detent point, on your throttle axis.
(Similar to hitting [alt+C][J] to recenter your joystick main axes, in flight.)
I don’t think you want to invoke that, each time your throttle axis passes over a threshold. You just want to position the throttle and do it once (well twice maybe, one for each left/right) to establish where “flight idle” is for your throttle hardware.
I think (not sure – or maybe there’s a bug) that BMS will update the ‘joystick.cal’ dat file, in your Config directory, to persist that permanently.
I’m not familiar with TSUBA … do you have a single throttle or dual throttle axes?

@airtex2019 Sorry for my poor english
I think I understood you
I´m setting a AB set, each time I pass through DX assigment, correct?
-
@Skorp I don’t know what you mean by “pass through DX assignment”.
There are basically 2 ways to manage your throttle…
A) use a keystroke or dx-button binding to toggle the throttle position in/out of the idle state (the default key binding is [alt+I])
B) configure an analog threshold (a “virtual detent”) for your throttle axis, below which will be considered “idle” (off). Use
set g_bUseAnalogIdleCutoff 1
in your cfg, to enable this mode.I suppose there’s a third, hybrid option,
C) use third-party joystick software (TUSBA?) to issue a dx button press or key press for (A), whenever your throttle axis goes above/below a certain threshold.
Which of these are you trying to achieve?
Here are the relevant BMS command callbacks for approach (A)… excerpt taken from BMS-Full.key
# Toggle the state of the throttle in/out of idle position: SimThrottleIdleDetent 314 0 0x17 4 0 0 1 "TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Toggle" # Explicitly move the throttle in/out of idle position: SimThrottleIdleDetentForward 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Idle" SimThrottleIdleDetentBack 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Idle Detent - Off" # These two are just like SimThrottleIdleDetent (toggle) but for twin-engine jets: SimThrottleIdleDetentLeft 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Left Engine" SimThrottleIdleDetentRight 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: CUTOFF RELEASE - Right Engine"
Here are the relevant BMS command callbacks for approach (B)… ie. if you want to fine-tune your detent positions, for left and right, separately, in flight.
# These commands allow to recalibrate your idle and afterburner position, SetLeftThrottleAbDetent 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: SET AB DETENT - Left Engine" SetLeftThrottleIdleCutOffDetent 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: SET IDLE DETENT - Left Engine" SetRightThrottleAbDetent 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: SET AB DETENT - Right Engine" SetRightThrottleIdleCutOffDetent 314 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 "TQS: SET IDLE DETENT - Right Engine"
I don’t know any way to fine-tune the ab- or idle-detents, for each 2 throttles, separately, in the 2D setup screen… I suppose you have to bind those callbacks to some keys or buttons, then use them, in flight.
But once you do, I believe the results should be saved in ‘joystick.cal’ file… you won’t ever see the message text again.
I only have a single throttle axis, so I can’t easily try it to find out how it works for dual-engines… sry. Just trying to clarify how (I think) it’s supposed to work.

@airtex2019 Hello
Well, all clear airtex2019, thank you very much
I´ve understood the function of set AB and set Idle (my mistake).
I had assigned a DX button in Cougar throttle as Set RightThrottle AB Detent, then each time Cougar gone above I had the famous message.
I´ve deleted both assigments in BMS (Idle and AB detent) and now all works fine.
Once again, thank you very much, airtex2019
