    I would like to use my Virpil CM3 for different train simulators; which mostly use keypress from the keyboard (TSW2, TS2021 and so on).

    I can assign buttons to my throttle but I would like to make it more immersive by using the 2 levers of the throttle to control throttle and brake. Although the mapping is a hell to figure out, because since the control to increase and decrease the throttle and br https://9apps.oooake, use the same key, you need to press the key multiple times, but for the throttle, that won't work, because it is an analog controller.

    After a bit of research I was able to set up the throttle lever to click 4 ti mes, which is enough to control the trains I usually drive; although it goes onl y forward; I was not able to find a way to split the range in half and assign different amount of throttle in percentage, to simulate the notch you would find on a train control.

    I don't know how many people even bother to use a throttle for a train sim game, since there is a specific controller for train games (which sadly look like a toy and is not even supported by all the new games); but I would like to use something different from a button to make it more realistic.
