For the idle detent, setting it to < or less than and using the "OFF(hold)IDLE" will allow you to turn the throttle off by pulling it back past the detent. Basically the same as what you showed in the video, but with a bit extra functionality.

Been a while since I posted a video, hoping to get back at it! Hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions! Some minor corrections: - 5:45 'recalibrate', should be 'reconfigure' - 8:08 about the detents per frame - officially there are 3, but 4 could be added (also, 10 frames instead of the default 5). To do this you just add PimpMySTECS for expanding the detents/frames this line: PimpMySTECS under the [USER] section in the file named zconfig.ini, which is located in the same folder with VKBDevCfg.

With respect to the mini-stick issues...if you happen to own an MCGU, you can swap out the module switch covers (both hats and mini-sticks) from the MCGU with the mini-stick on the STECS. I've found the castle switch hat cover from the MCGU works well since it has flats at each of the cardinal directions, so regardless of your thumb orientation, you can index your movement relative to the hat switch cover. If you don't have an MCGU you're kind of out of luck, but a lot of folks on VKB's discord have asked for this hat switch cover, so maybe soon they'll either sell it separately, or ship it with the STECS...

Thank you for this video. A very interesting product, especially the modular buttons. It is always a pleasure to see manufactures experimenting with concepts like this, especially in a niche market as our. It either takes b*lls or some very thorough R&D to spent resources on things like this by a company. Having been flightsimming since the late 90´s, ive tried almost every brand out there, so i always recommends brands having stable and longlasting axis and software. So often bad/cheap axis and/or badly written software brakes the hardware. I dont mind spending half a day learning the software, as long as that software is stable and "just works".

I found out after making this video that the software engineer is always making changes and there are already some hidden features like adding a 4th detent and allowing for 10 frames instead of the default 5. You can changed the size of the detent manually so it is already possible to 3d print and then choose a stock detent in the software but adjust the size after.part of the wizard setup where you mark the front and back of the detent is actually letting the software calculate that size for you.

When the first detent guide came out I floated the idea of having different buttons trigger when below and above the detent (wasn't possible originally), and lo and behold by the time they were shipping that had been added. =) Btw I think you had the inside parts/nuts for the detents the wrong way around, the big flat area is supposed to be towards the detent.

Oh shit i didn't even think about that... You are probably right.. Spacing would still be an issue as the surface area is still the same, and if the backing plates overlap you would get some angular change on the detent on the top side of the frame.

16:00 I said a decade ago that the perfect setup for a desktop throttle is this. Make it so that the throttle uses the sliding rail style so it steers away from the issue you bring up here. I posted this to Virpil and VKB forums "a lot" but no take or responses at all. With slider instead of pivot you do not get a change in hand position and you do not get the mind fuck you get when the hand changes position. I also think that as low as you can make it benefits a desktop setup. Also, same for joystick I feel a system that utilizes as slider rail system would greatly benefit gamers as most play at their desks. Keep the joystick as low as possible and with the pitch on a rail slider system with role as pivot and you just made the ultimate HOTAS!! What do I know, I am just some idiot on a PC sitting in mom's basement?! Well decades ago I fought for the brake pedal that barely moves idea. No one could even understand what I was talking about and nowadays the market for this brake pedal is amazing. Such a simple concept....the human foot doesn't translate movement to the brain but the human foot translates the most miniscule variance in pressure. I got called an idiot for a year and gave up and today we have this. simucube.com/simucube-activepedal/?v=fa868488740a

Overall good video, but you missed a few key features of the software that make it much more useful/customizable. For example, you should use the curve setting (crv%) for your AB detents. This allows your detent to stop at an exact value (like 75% for the F-16) even if the physical detent isn't exactly located at 75%. Although, I do acknowledge that the current lack of documentation should be considered in the review since not informing your customers of important features is effectively the same as not including those features in the first place.

+jabbers *Thanks for the comparo.* The Virtual Engineering Bureau manufactures in the ST⚞ECSᵀᴹ Throttle Series an engine quadrant that trumps the VIRPILⓇ MongoosT-50CM3Ⓡ in certain models for Eagle Dynamics DCS:World. Personally, I'd buy the Mini-Plus for the port flat and the STEM Panel for the starboard flat, as VirPil trumps the Virtual Engineering Bureau in hardiness for Control Panels #2 (port angle) and #1 (starboard angle). Has the ST⚞ECS an "inverse hat" for the "OTS" ministick? As a fallback for unavailability of the Throttletek GF-14 Engine and Wing Quadrant, I'd like a 4-way with the default OTS cone in the "OP EXEC" position to control the Wing Sweep; the "RADIO" Stadium and "BRK" Jog heads are appropriate for the notional Heatblur F/A-14E/F. Also the mini-Castle head (low parapet up) and Pyramid head for the 5-ways in, respectively, "MB1" and "MB2." Haven't decided which rotary encoder to assign to Flaps.

Yes you can - it's basicly 5 "buttons" only one of which is selected at any given moment. This would make most sense in a scenario where all five positions would be modifiers. I have such a rotary switch on another device but it has been unused for a couple of years. The only use I have for it is making a row of 4 radio frequency encoders serve 4 different radios - and flight instruments in the 5th position. Hardly optimal but saves a little space in my movable multi-a/c simpit.

I haven't used this throttle, but I had the same observation regarding that mini-stick just from watching videos about it. Putting 4-way or analog hats on the side of a rotating throttle handle is already kind of fraught, because the "up" direction changes as you push the throttle forward. You can account for it somewhat by using asymmetric caps on those controls; for example, my Virpil throttle has three hats on the side of the right throttle handle. One of them has a boat-style cap, and it's super easy to feel which way is "up" on that hat no matter how the throttle handle is rotated. But another of the hats has a pyramid-shaped cap, and I hate that hat. Every time I go to use it, I'm like "Which was is up on this hat again?" The cap on that VKB mini-stick is even worse, as it's a symmetrical cone that doesn't even allow you to parse where the X and Y axis are by feel. Hats on the front of a throttle handle don't have this issue, because you always pull back for up and push forward for down.

This was supposed to be a bar none top-tier GUNFIGHTER-class device (starting with metal construction, not plastics/composites), and specifically it was supposed to have some super-duper digital electronic magic detent system that required patenting before they could even think about releasing it.... There is no new tech here, this "TECS" is little more than an expansion of their existing GLADIATOR-class GNX module stuff. I'm sure it's nice and the pricing seems decent (just like the rest of the Gladiator line), and no doubt it will be popular (maybe even get Thrustmaster and Logitech off their asses in this segment), but there is no way this needed to take ten (?) years.

Jabbers doing a hardware review sponsored by a flight sim company commonly associated with DCS? WHAT YEAR IS IT!? This might actually be something i grab to replace my X-56... I love that thing to death, but the potential for this could easily outshine it.

@@nick11jl Yeah and it's a 99% chance that when you browse the EU shop, almost everything is gonna be out of stock. Like what I mentioned in my first comment.

really wish they would have developed the linear throttle they had originally designed...this one looks sexy but unappealing at the same time to me.

well I bit the bullet today and ordered it. Im going to test it between this and the older Virpil T-50 and T-50CM throttles.

Really disappointed. I heard rumors they were going to use an electric detent system instead of a physical one. That would have easily solved a lot of problems.
