I’m not keen on the warthog, I have a ch pro already. Anybody here have a warthog? I hear they not built well...Thrustmaster warthog or ch pro throttle, if your happy to wait VKB are making throttle aswell not sure when its out.

Does anybody recommend an alternative to the expensive Virpil throttle?

If you are changing your CH throttle because of jitter, have a look at this drop in contactless hall effect sensor https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/214485-ch-products-upgrades/. No soldering or reprogramming required, easy to install in 5 minutes, jitter problem solved. Cost 29 euros. Personal experience here as I'm also a CH throttle user and very happy with this mod.I’m not keen on the warthog, I have a ch pro already.

there are no problems with the throttle i just think its very basic. What i would like to know is when you are using the ch throttle and you have the green, red and amber lights when pushing down on the thumb stick.
My question is how do i assign different key commands to each one of these so for example...Green could be all powerup switches and navigation commands on each button, red could be all combat commands on each button, amber could be something else. Ive never figured out how to do this, can you help please?
I don’t really understand how DCS works with regard to its ability to simulate systems and functions of a modern fighter jet. The F18 hornet came out in the early eighties and went completely out of service only a few years ago hence perhaps why all its systems are available in DCS for Putin to study whereas for good reason there isn’t an accurate F22/35 in DCS.DCS Eurofighter

Never used this functionality myself as I simply assigned the third button the CH throttle handle - the one closes to the pinkie finger- as a "shift modifier" in DCS itself. This essentially doubled the number of available buttons and hat switches with minimum fuss.My question is how do i assign different key commands to each one of these so for example...Green could be all powerup switches and navigation commands on each button, red could be all combat commands on each button, amber could be something else.

As for the LED lights, CH Products website says this :
"What are the 3 LEDs on the front of my devices for?
The red, green and yellow LEDs on the Eclipse Yoke, Pro Throttle, and Fighterstick are modes that support up to 3 sets of button assignments programmed within the Control Manager software" https://www.chproducts.com/13-28485-Frequently-Asked-Questions.php.html
Never used this myself, although CH Control Manager works fine on my win10.
I could be wrong, but I vaguely seem to remember that the three "mode" options (i.e. as denoted by the different colours) only worked if you used the CH software, which was never made compatible with the newer Windows versions and is extremely unlikely to still work with Win10.
Sure, here it is. The most important thing for me is to have comabt modes (vertical scan, BVR etc) on the index finger hat (no shift)and Nav mode, gear, waypoint up/down on the index finger hat (with shift), middle finger is flare (no shift) and chaff (with shift). I have near identical settings for the F-15 and Mig-29.Ok that sounds a good idea, using the modifier, you dont have a list of your commands do you and to what button on both settings? For the SU27

So I find myself having to self isolate for 10 days. Have just started the DCS download... I get the feeling I'm about to open Pandora's box haha!
It's worth getting Flaming Cliffs 3 for all the aircraft and the training guides, not a huge departure from LOMACI'm hoping it'll be more of a refresher than anything. I used to play the original Lock On games, so I'm pretty familiar with the basics - albeit very rusty
