It really sucks, but there are more games out there that don't support the throttle than games that do. We're only sacrificing immediate reaction time due to throttle axis travel time here, and on top of that we risk accidentally accelerating / decelerating when the throttle is not centered correctly. If that's not possible, I'd rather not bother and actually just use the buttons. The whole gist of a throttle is being able to set thrust dynamically, constantly adapting as needed, and even if limited to pre-defined incremental steps that's still somewhat useful.

That's the best we can do for a throttle.? I'd rather get a second joystick then and map it to that, at least that self-centers relieably. Holding that button allows you to use the stick to roll and increase / decrease speed. So, this basically makes the throttle act like the stick while you hold the modifyer button? NOTE: this guide is still WIP, I plan to at least add a few screenshots to make things more comprehensible and possibly apply corrections if necessary. The numerical values can be modified to increase or reduce the center deadzone, remember that while the throttle is outside the deadzone the button will be held so ensure it's centered before doing something that requires using the keyboard like typing a savefile name. Of course if your map is already done and you havent selected scripting in the wizard (or haven't used the wizard at all) you can add scripting later by using 'add peripheral', you will find CMS scripting at the bottom of the list. The variant 'js' may change depending on the position of the throttle in the map, in my case it was the second peripheral in the map counting from the left so it's 'js2' while 'a3' is of course the third axis of the peripheral (a1 and a2 are the ministick) so take note of the order of the peripherals in your map and modify the number if necessary.Ĭms.b1 is the cms button mapped as 'HOLD +' while cms.b2 is 'HOLD -', the throttle axis itself must be left in DX mode but with both the peripheral and axis designation set to 'none'. Now click on the 'script editor' icon above and add this between the two lines in blue 'script' and 'endscript': In the CMS tab select the first button and map it to 'HOLD +' and then the second button and map it as 'HOLD -'. Then when creating the profile in control manager make sure to add CMS scripting.

This guide is meant for people who are really completely inept with scripting (like me) and assumes you have already done simple mapping profiles without scripting or at least have a good idea how to do one.įirst opend the DOXbox cfg file for the game and make sure the keyboard layout is set to 'us'. While it's not as intuitive as an ordinary throttle axis it's still good enough for gameplay. Games with only the + and - keys for throttle control need scripting, after asking around at CH hangar I managed to cobble toghether a script for a 'positional throttle' that works more or less this way:

The CH Pro Throttle has a very good mapping software but unfortunately straight mapping has a few limits, while you can use basic mapping functions to attribute keystrokes to the throttle Axis this works well for simulating the throttle only in games that have speed presets like X-wing or Roberts' own Strike Commander.
