I wish that the GV throttle would be the same as airplane throttle, so you don't have to keep pulling back on the stick to slow down.

+1 cant see any good reason for gvs to work differently to aircraft, plus its unecessary wear n tear on the stick. doesnt the PT boat already work this way?



I have a Z axis on my controller, if you have one, or something like it, you can set that in place of you stick for Y axis.

Z-axis is rudders or twisty which is currently used for steering in gun positions (should be in driver position too imo), hardly a natural for throttle control. presumably you'll then remap steering to your throttle? :rolleyes:

He's probably referring to the Z-slider on the X52, which is a sliding bar on the throttle quadrant.

You can actually map the up-down axis (X?) to the throttle in Mode 2, then set it to automatically slevet mode on takeoff. I think it may work like the stick, though; middle is "centered" instead of back all the way.

No ozz, its a little wheele on my attack 3. It functions the same way though. Yeah clone, it works. I kept slowing down by accidently moving it. Finally got so annoying I unmaped that one. But your intending you use it like a throttle so you shouldn't have that problem.

Nemisis this video (that I will link to shortly) is a tribute to the greatest 4 minutes of your life which after watching the video you will never be able to regain and you must realize you will never beat it... ever.

How is that a tribute to my life? Total there were 6 sections of video and maybe 25 seconds that could even POSSIBLY be a tribute to my life.
