Most games (DCS included) lets you map up actions in the game to be performed when you press a button on your joystick/throttle. However they normally don't let you map up an actions to when you release a button on a joystick/throttle. When it comes to the 2- or 3-way buttons on a Thrustmaster Warthog throttle this could be something you wanted to do (so each "position" of a 2/3-way button could be bound to different actions in the game). This program Is hard-coded to ONLY work with the Thrustmaster Throttle (so no configuration is needed) and the 1st virtual joystick created using a driver called vJoy (not included, but required). Once vJoy is installed/configured simply copy the zipped files into a folder of your choice and run the exe (PDF manual included).

So to address this issue I wrote a small program 3 years ago called Joy2vJov, however I made a small change to the program recently (so you no longer needs to cycle all buttons on the throttle at startup). Its hard-coded to ONLY work with the Thrustmaster Throttle (so no configuration is needed) and the 1st virtual joystick created using a driver called vJoy (not included, but required). The vJoy driver lets you create up to 16 virtual joysticks, each with multiple axis and up to 128 buttons (this program uses 21 buttons on the first vJoy device you create). I had some plans to expand on the functionality of this software (to allow it to be used with other joystick/throttles and add scripting) but I never got around to do so. Once you have created/setup your vJoy device, you simply need to start Joy2VJoy, prior to starting your simulator (DCS).
Simply copy the zipped files into a folder of your choice and run the exe. However first you must download/install/configure vJoy to have one device with at least 21 buttons (I created mine for 128 buttons). The enclosed PDF explains how to setup your vJoy device and how to map both the physical- and virtual-device in DCS, so you can fully utilize your 2- and 3-way buttons on your Thrustmaster Throttle. E.g. the 3 positions of the pinky-switch I have mapped up for NVS-OFF, -NORM and -FIXED for the DCS AH64, where the NVS-OFF (aft) and NVS-FIXED (forward) are mapped via the physical Thrustmaster throttle, and the NVS-NORM function (center) is mapped via the virtual device.
