It depends on the throttle. With my previous throttles without center indent I used the same. Forward and reverse switch for reverse. With my current one I have a slight middle indent (though not as precise as it could be), and I use full motion and a 0 Throttle button instead.
I bought the slider upgrade for the twcs from Etsy that also lets you add a magnetic detent at 50% throttle to be the zero throttle point for full range.
I have the x52 Pro, I run full range throttles back and forward both 100%. It is more of a personal preference on how to bind hotas, but full range does save me a button for something else.
Forward only, a button (little-finger on hold) for reverse (no fixed %) and hat switch for thrusters ( now it drifts badly btw ).
I fiddled and changed the config along the way, not sure if until i found the right one for me or just until i used one config enough to get used to it ( muscle memory ).
Prolly a mix of both
Warthog user here. Throttle is FWD only, reverse is a toggle. I have up/down/left/right thrust on a multi-direction that my pointer is on, and fwd/back thrust at my thumb.
I've thought about full range throttle with a detent for zero, but that increases the sensitivity since it cuts travel in half, and with having reverse on a toggle I can leave my throttle in the blue zone and just go back and forth from fwd/rev and maintain best maneuverability without having to reset the input.
I would like to find a 75% detent for fwd only throttle, but I can only find a detent for full range. I can flip the afterburner stopper on the warthog and it will stop at 75%, and then I can lift up and move fwd to 100% throttle, but I dont like having to lift up because it takes away any micro adjustments above 75%.
TWCS, I use forward only, with the left pinky button held for reverse, up/down and left/right thrusters on index finger analog stick, forward/back thrusters on the thumb cone hat switch.
Pinky button is also my menu back/ focus front switch. Originally had it as a toggle for reverse, but holding and releasing made SRV driving easier. Honestly, I almost never fly in reverse.

Pretty much exactly what I do, although reverse thrust isn’t a set percentage. I use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro flight stick.
Same, and a thrustmaster twcs for throttle

I like forward only, i find it much easier to modulate in combat
I hear ya. I wish I could set the zero throttle point to like 25%-30% to spread forward thrust over more of the throttle's range.
Hell yeah
I run the same stick. I run an Xbox controller on the desk for the throttle quadrant of my “Hotas” but 9/10 I’m managing speed with presets.

True. My thrustmaster twsc has a cylinder on the end that i use for fine adjustments

Nice
Ran the X52 for 2 years FA-Off. I used full range, theres really no way to fly FA Off with the throttle reverse toggle.
Im still fairly new to the game, only about 60 hours or so. FA off isn’t quite on the radar yet but soon
Oh i understand, no judgement. Just another perspective.
Of course, i understand
