Released: Multi-Throttle Support for IL-2

[AndyJWest]

I'm not entirely clear what you are trying to do. Shouldn't you be sending throttle position data to DeviceLink, rather than reading it?

If I was trying to do what you are, I'd not use autohotkey at all. I'd write a program to read the throttle positions using the standard Windows Joystick interface and send them to IL-2 via Devicelink, say 3 or 4 times a second. This way, the IL-2 HOTAS wouldn't need to be set to an axis at all, and you could get the maximum 1% resolution for throttle settings, rather than the ~5% you get with keyboard.

I had a setup working like this at one time (single throttle) with an autopilot system I was working on, and used a similar system to control the main axes too. To do this, you do need programming skills in Java (which I used), C++ or the like.
