WEP in 109E3b on throttle wheel?

[David198502]

hey guys.has anybody managed to get the emergency boost on his throttle wheel?
i tried it without succes now.in the axis settings i set 100% position of the throttle a little bit down,thinking that if i give 100% on the throttle wheel,then it should rise to approximate 110% to enable WEP.but it doesnt work that way for me.i have both deadzones set to 0.any suggestions.
is it possible to have WEP on the throttle wheel.right now i have it on a button of my joystick(CH Fighterstick),but it would be nice to have it on the throttle wheel.

I was thinking on it today, just like the throttle gate on Falcon 4.0, where you set a pointo of the throttle to 100% and above it the afterburner.

You won't see any difference in the 109E since it doesn't have a separate WEP system. In fact most of the early war aircraft we have in the sim don't have one, for most of them WEP simply means going full throttle.

This is a control feature that will be useful mostly in future add-ons, when we'll get MW50 boosted 109s and water-injected P-47s, but for most of what we have now WEP simply means going full throttle.

im talking about the e3b.i have set wep to a button and it works!for one minute until its shut off.but i want it on the throttle wheel.

this has been asked before
i dont believe there has been a solution made yet mate

i doubt that it will work on a throttle in the 109.
Guess how the "axis" should go back after the 1 minute ?

the british WEP works different ,there its easy to have 100% and 110% on one HOTAS "axis".

It does work on Spit but I was unable to get it to work on 109.Did it work like that in real life on 109? If not that's probably why it can't be done

well i wonder that myself.how did you enable WEP in real life in the bfs?
if it s not possible,no problem.then i just leave it how it works now for me.

Now that you mention it i haven't tried the E-3B

My understanding thus far is that CoD tries to model each control the way it was on the real aircraft. For example, if it has two position flaps like the Spit a simple toggle switch will do, if it has manual flaps like the 109 you need separate up/down keys and keep pressing them for as long as you want them to deploy, if it has a flap motor with up/neutral/down positions like the Hurricane, the 110 and the 110 then each up keypress moves the lever up but the flaps are moving as long as the lever is not in the middle neutral position, etc.

In that sense, i expect that on aircraft that use a gate or detent on the throttle between normal and WEP power it will be possible to map different zones of control on your throttle axis to emulate that behaviour, but on aircraft that use a control that's separate from the throttle you will probably need to use a separate key command or stick button that's mapped specifically to it.

I haven't tested this too much in regards to WEP activation, but it works this way for every other control (eg, flaps and bomb bays) between aircraft that have different control mechanisms.

Hope it helps.

The Ju87 has even its own lever for activating its WEP...
