If the throttles do not show the same position, you can tweak it. I made a function for it. DATA folder, mikkonfig.ini, and go down to "LEFT_THROTTLE_LAG=". It has instructions on how to use it. My G940 throttles are not syncronized normally either, so this function allowed me to put them very close.

Ok.
When ,for example I fold the wings the light will be OFF(No light) and when I de-fold (don't know how to say ) it turns RED.Could be changed OFF colour for ORANGE for example?

Its like a switch

ON=RED=No fold
OFF = No light= The wings are "folded"

It is not possible for users to change it in the current version. It was set by me manually to whatever seemed most logical. In general, they are organized according to this system:

1. Borrow most of the colors and behaviour from the Junkers 88. It is logical for the most part. Indicators for systems are green when set properly for landing and taking off. Red when not proper for landing/take-off. Yellow if in between.

2. The red color is supposed to warn that the system is not set properly - so it includes the air brake and WEP/Boost. But on the G940 the lights are very close to each other and it is not obvious which one is what system. Mixing red for landing gear up together with WEP and other things is contradicting, because then the lights mean completely different things. RED for gear would be normal, while red for air brake and WEP would mean a big warning. This is why the 'off', or 'normal' flight color, is off instead of red or yellow. Wing fold is red only when the wings are folded, because that is very dangerous in any situation except parked on the carrier.

3. Green is used for systems that are not dangerous, or to show that a system is set properly for landing/take-off. Level stabilizer for example. Or flaps in landing position, landing gear down, and arrestor hook down.

4. Another reason for 'off' instead of other colors is because IL-2 keeps saying that things are not activated in planes that don't even have the system. If flying planes without wing-fold, the button would be yellow all the time.

thanks MikkiOwl for this. I have a g940 and am trying to use your programme. i am following the instructions, and get to this part:

"2/4 - Run SETUP.EXE in the Multi-Throttle folder and set up your controllers. If a G940 is detected, the throttles and toe brakes will automatically be assigned and a different, more awesome interface will appear. Configure your stuff."

nothing of the sort happens by me - all I get is the GUI with the picture of the colour bf110s. should there be anything more?

I have the G940 running v5.09 with original firmware. I have set up port 3333 under the Devicelink in the conf.ini. I ran the setup program which appeared to run fine. I ran the Multi Throttle 4.0.exe and my AV asked me to allow which I OKed. The program opens 3 DOS windows and leaves them open and that is all she wrote. (It never says found Pedals but they are there and working.) It also shuts off the LED lights on my throttle.

Attached is a screen print of the messages I receive. I have tried to start outside of as well as after starting IL2. When in the game I hit the alt-G, nothing happens. I have rebooted the computer and tried a few times but no go.

Probably this will help:
Before hitting OK read the text that appear when you start multithrottle:
IL2 must be loaded and running.
Greetings

P.S. need a mousefunction for the miniaxis-coolie!!!

Mikkowl. Thanks for all your hardwork. You would not have a version of this just for the g940 lights do you? The light feature is nice for us carrier opps folks. Since the next patch will have multi throttle your hard work will not go to waste with a g940 lights. Thanks again.

I have two computers, one ladtop with XP and a desktop with windows 7. I have installed this software in both. It only works with the xp. In the computer with vista there is an error message wich says "forward host lookup failed".

Any ideas?
