Afterburner Detent?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone out there could enlighten me if it would be possible to calibrate the physical afterburner detent on the Thrustmaster Warthog with the afterburner on the F-14X.  I am running my controls through a registered FSUIPC if that makes a difference.  I'd love to set this up particularly for flying the B model where AB is almost always off for the launch.

Me and a few others filed (shaved) down the idle detent plug inside of the Warthog Throttle base.

1) Unscrew and Remove the plastic cover on the base that is in between the the throttle levers.

2) Lift and remove the afterburner/idle detent plug inside.

3) With the red-sided square facing away from you, the part that is shaved/ filed down are the two black ends beneath the red square.

If it is done correctly and evenly, you've created speedbump that the throttle levers ride over, instead of a lift-over-the-top afterburner detent.

 

Works beautifully. My throttle hits that speedbump = and that's MIL power. Anything over (remaining 0.5 inch/ 1.25 cm) is all Afterburner.
