An old Fighter Ace pilot here looking to get back in the virtual skies. I bought a Saitek X52, but have been what seem to be throttle issues. With the throttle at 100% (something I've checked in the configuration) I get the listed max RPMS in the following aircraft:
Mosquito: 3000 rpms with WEP
Tempest: 4000 rpms with WEP
FW 190: 2550 rpms with WEP
F4U-4: about 2550 rpms with WEP
Now the 190 gauge maxes out at not much more than the listed RPMS, but the other plane gauges go much higher. Do I have a throttle problem, or do the other planes just max out at those RPMS? The ME262 gets up to almost 9000 rpms, but that's a jet.
