• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v5 [SOLVED] Is there a general throttle for all axis for throttles?

I'm working on a module that gets throttle axis position using KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET and then using that data lets say do foo(). Now, I've noticed during testing that if user has multiple throttles for example Thrustmaster TCA, Honeycomb etc., it doesn't work. Is there a work around for this, for example just general one throttle or I need to define and do everything for KEY_THROTTLE1_SET as well?
 
You have to use all AXIS events... KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET is for single throttle axis... otherwise you have to use KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE1_SET, etc. Note that they are ranged from -16383 to 16383.

Also, be aware that some aircraft addons use those events and will override anything you're trying to set... which means it'll become a fight.

Thank you very much for the reply. It seems I need to change my approach.
