I've been testing an old idea on how to get the TQ work with IL2, and thus wrote this script. I had planned to wait with writing this script, but a suggestion from Bob Church made me rethink that. He suggested that my idea could be tested with the pro throttle and the throttle wheel on the fighterstick.
The result is working fine, but is not optimized. It is probably possible to reduce time and reduce the spam in the game a bit, but the script in its current form is enough to show the idea. :cheers:
I hope some of you might find this useful,
Abe :)
This script solves the problem for two throttle levers (pro throttle and throttle wheel on the fighterstick) and I see no reason that it should not be possible to extend to be used with the TQ:
%define deSelectAllOut cms.b5
%define toggleLeftOut cms.b6
%define toggleRightOut cms.b7
%define startEngineSeq b3
%define engineSeqRunning b4
%define oldLeftThrtl a1
%define oldRightThrtl a2
script
// If any throttle lever has changed, the engine sequence
// should be started.
if([js2.a3>oldLeftThrtl+2] OR
[js2.a3[list=1]oldRightThrtl+2] OR
[js1.a3<oldRightThrtl-2]) then
startEngineSeq=true;
endif
// Run the engine sequence only when needed, or
// the game will be spammed.
if(startEngineSeq or engineSeqRunning) then
sequence
engineSeqRunning=true;
startEngineSeq=false;
// deselect all engines
deSelectAllOut=true;
delay(2);
deSelectAllOut=false;
delay(2);
// left engine(s)
//
cms.a2 = oldLeftThrtl; // Copy the old left lever value
// into the throttle register
delay( 2 ); // Let the sim see that
toggleLeftOut=true; // Select the left engine
delay( 2 ); // Let the throttle value register
toggleLeftOut=false;
delay(2);
oldLeftThrtl=js2.a3;
cms.a2 = js2.a3; // Copy the left lever into the
// throttle register. (An event to the
// game is not generated until the
// driver sees a change.)
delay( 2 );
toggleLeftOut=true; // Deselect the left engine
delay( 2 ); // Let the sim see that
toggleLeftOut=false;
delay( 2 );
// right engine(s)
//
cms.a2 = oldRightThrtl; // Copy the old right lever value
// into the throttle register
delay( 2 ); // Let the sim see that
toggleRightOut=true; // Select the right engine
delay( 2 ); // Let the throttle value register
toggleRightOut=false;
delay(2);
oldRightThrtl=js1.a3;
cms.a2 = js1.a3; // Copy the right lever into the
// throttle register. (An event to the
// game is not generated until the
// driver sees a change.)
delay( 2 );
toggleRightOut=true; // Deselect the right engine
delay( 2 ); // Let the sim see that
toggleRightOut=false;
delay( 2 );
engineSeqRunning=false;
endSequence
endif
