Hi, I hope that sombody gan assist me with a Warthog 'programming' question. I only 'fly' Il-2 and I wanted to have a choice between 'select left engine', 'select right engine' and 'select all engines'. My idea is that I can start the engines of twin engined aircraft separatly, than select all engines and continue in this mode. I had choosen the toggle switch on the left side of the throttle - PSF, PSM and PSB - for this. Only, I see the HUD messages on the selection on the screen but the 'select all engines' doesn't work.In the Device Analyzer I only see the numbers 13 and 14 lit up when using PSF and PSB, and nothing in PSM.
Does anybody knows how to solve this 'problem'?

Thanks for reading

So you want something like
PSF - left engine
PSB - right enging
PSM - both engines

Is that correct? You may want to look at the MapKeyR function of TARGET.

Hope that helps!

Hi Ice, thanks for the answer. You're correct, I'll check MapKey functions when home.

Edit: It always help to RTFM; this switch has no 'contacts' in its middle position as I thought earlier. But it has a 'contact' when pushed forward and (another ?) one when pulled back. So I made 'select left engine' on the forward and 'select all engines' on the backward motion. And I did this on the PSB for the right engine, works great.
