@Rybo:
Have you tested it in sim? The coolie hat is used as a set of virtual DX axes that control antenna elevation and the manual range knob. As such it won’t show it when you push it in the BMS Controller Setup UI.
If it doesn’t work in sim, it’s most likely just that the axes are mapped incorrectly in BMS. I’ve seen this happen before when switching profiles. The solution is to simply map them appropriately. In the Controller Setup -> Advanced window set the MAN RANGE KNOB axis to SLIDER0 and set the ANT ELEV to SLIDER1.
If that doesn’t work I won’t be able to help much further without screenshots of your Controller Setup pages.
I have not tired the sim i will do though! See how it goes. Lastly i am not sure how the idle cut off is supposed to work. I followed your instructions and when its time to move the throttle over the indent, instead of just going over the indent like in DCS with the A-10C, here in BMS is voes to about 50% throttle.
Ill take screenshots of my contoller UI but ill test in game first. If i do decide to set the antena up/down with the UI i should delete the code from your profile is thag correct? I know which one it is!
