I'm old and retired but been setting myself to fly DCS for my lazy-man hobby. I've watched every DCS and Virpil video on YT to try and learn everything I can about all this gear. Whatever you do...keep doing it. Your explanations on how and WHY to set and make custom changes on the Virpil gear really "clicks" with me. The way you explain things in plain language, and you don't go TOO fast or gloss over things that some act like I should already know makes this great. So for what you are doing...Thank You

This tutorial let me map the extra buttons to logically sync in number bindings to my thrustmaster. So my thrustmaster is 1-12 and then 13-32 for VIRPIL. Now I can use the control panel with elite dangerous. You are a lifesaver!

First, thanks for the video it did help a lot. BUT,.. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to have custom LED color patterns for each mode selected besides just having ALL the LEDs one color. I've got everything working as I want to this point (mostly) but the LEDs are driving my crazy. You did mention that Virpil has a lot of room to grow in regards to this so maybe it's just not possible? But it SEEMS like it should be a simple thing. So any thoughts on that? I also looked into the VPC Link Tool but that was also not working out for me at first glance.

@ Tthmax! The out of the box set up is 64 buttons. You are able to have up to 127 buttons you do this by adding more. You can add more using axis to buttons, virtual detent, and binding to your mode selectors. I started with the base vpc set up and added buttons as I went along. Hope this helps.

I don't know about the led system though. It seems bugged. Once they go on, they don't go off. It's impossible to turn on a led with a button and then turn it off with another button press (on the same button). Also the fact that you have 6 push buttons and 6 led lights in them but only have 5 ways to activate them seems odd to me. Perhaps its the software. Maybe you have a better experience or way the utilize it, than please let it be your next video :).

Hi, first of all, you have saved me a lot of time figuring out by myself, so THANK YOU! I have an issue and maybe you could elaborate, If I do both virtual axis to buttons for the throttle as you did on a previous video, plus 3 way axis to button for the flaps, I can see in the software works but back in DCS is not recognized. I use the 5 way mode modifier Is this perhaps a limitation from windows on a max input keys number per joystick, or I did something wrong? Is there a workaround if its the first one? Again Thank you
@JGandT

Did you go into your buttons tab and set your physical buttons to logical buttons? If you leave the shift setting blank on the buttons tab then it should work on any of the shift modes.

@keithmyers9048 3 года назад
Nice video, one small criticism. You mentioned a few time, this is a really long video. I bet there several minutes of you just saving and reloading the throttle profile. While you were describing how the different types of buttons and how they work it really got slow. You might want to think about setting one or two buttons to each of the modes first then save. Then you can describe how they work. That way you do not have to stop every time between describing the behavior, set everything up again and save. It will probably flow a little better. Again it's a great video with lots of good information. Keep it up :)

Hi Jon, when changing the Toggle to a 2-button setup, I noticed that it does not do a true button-like "ON/OFF"...it just remains "ON" until you flip the Toggle. Is there a way to execute the button command as an instant ON/OFF? I would be concerned that it would be like feeding DCS a constant stream of "BUTTON XX ON" the whole time. For instance, if T4 is up, it executes Button 37 as ON with immediate OFF instead of just leaving Button 37 as ON the whole time.
@AlphaGatorDCS
@AlphaGatorDCS 4 года назад
I think I figured it out...you have to set the Mode to "Toggle ON" for both positions of the Toggle (both physical buttons need to be "Toggle ON" and not Normal). I Normal mode, it's like holding down a button until flipped, then it's holding the other button.

Hi Jon, great video! I was lucky to get through Virpil's lucky lottery online store to get a CM2 throttle. I've had a rough idea that there were a lot of functions/possibilities with the hardware, but holy crap this has blown my mind! I have actually learned a huge amount and am even more excited to use the system. Thanks for all your efforts, and I'm certainly looking forward to your next video. I was going to ask, what happens if you specifically set up your virtual afterburner detente for say the F-16, or F-15, but then fly a different aircraft in DCS where the afterburner only comes alive at a different throttle position, but I guess thats kind of self explanatory, I guess I would just use the virtual cut-off detente than an afterburner gate. What would be super interesting, is to see how you could combine the virtual detentes, with say the 3d printed stuff that one can find surfing Virpil's forum.... Maybe a future video on that?
@JGandT
@JGandT 4 года назад
I have looked around and would love to see a good quality aftermarket detent. I’ve seen a few 3D printed versions I don’t feel they will last. I can confirm that the f16, f18, f15 all have an afterburner that kicks in at 80%. Now the mig 29 I believe I tested kicked in at 50%. You can make multiple profiles within the Virpil software and change to match your aircraft. I would like to see a physical mechanism that’s adjustable on the throttle it would be a great seller. I also know you can adjust your throttle curves in dcs to match your Virpil virtual detent.
@aristidewoodley8073
@aristidewoodley8073 4 года назад
Hi Jon, I suppose the one thing about 3d printed detentes is that they can be reproduced relatively cheaply if there is easy access to a printer. I suppose the very next question is: how would one match their 3d printed detentes, virtual detentes and then DCS throttle curves.... and I guess the answer is pretty obvious. Slowly, and carefully. Thanks again for your great videos! Also... with regard to setting up different profiles, that could be easy enough, I suppose, until you change aircraft in DCS, and forget to change your profile.

Very helpful video. I subscribed and have been watching your tutorials since my Virpil CM2 throttle came in 2 weeks ago. I only “fly” in IL2, but using your afterburner video I set up the LED buttons to come on when I get to Emergency Power so I can avoid frying the engine. I have a question related to this video re: the LED buttons. If I want the button to turn on a function (the turbocharger for example) by pressing and releasing it (I think you called that a Soft Toggle) is there a way to then turn on the light for that button until I press & release the button again to turn off the function? Hope that’s not too convoluted. Keep up the good work, especially for us tech-illiterate types.

@harpoon_bakery162
@harpoon_bakery162 4 года назад
You are correct, the single button lighting options are limited. you can only do one that I'm aware of. I would guess someone as we speak is cranking away in the code mines to get a new firmware for us to allow individual lights to toggle for each and every light. It would be SOOOO nice if they could do that. I also wonder if we could mod the throttle with jewel lights on the front and tie them into the silver switches letting us know what mode they are in. (drilling holes in the front of the throttle and placing jewel lights and then soldering those in) HUGE JOB and I'm not adventurous enough to try it. (requires brains)

Does anyone know if they (Virpil) or someone who has written a mod have come up with a way to program the LED's individually ? So in other words, I want just one LED to control the HOOK in an F18 for example for the hook down state of green, and then that same LED push-button turns red when depressed for Hook UP state. So one LED push-button doing two colors depending on the state of the HOOK in the F18. I'm not picky, how about two different LED push-buttons, one would be HOOK UP as Red when ON (lit), and below it another LED button light would be HOOK DOWN GREEN. Perhaps someone has written something, perhaps spad.next or another program or a custom written mod. But ideally, VIRPIL will write something so the firmware gets updated and then suddenly we get to control each and every light with anything we want to do!!!!!!
