How is a non functioning throttle at log in helping new players?

[FESS67]

I am a bit stumped by this one.  I choose my planes, my throttle is at max and yet it does nothing unless I reduce it and then increase it.

I mean, I am looking at the damn throttle and it is not pushing me forward!!!  On my first flight that is confusing.

Of course on my second flight the issue does not appear.....huh?  How on earth is that meant to make sense to anyone let alone people on day 1?

I thought this was a personal issue I had with my stick. I didn't thought much of it so I didn't report it. But yeah I have the same issue.

Whiles we are at it. Rotating tank guns that fire continuesly when first installed the game, bombsight that is not working and reargunners that do something similar as the gv's.

Bingo!

I thought this was a problem with my CH setup when I came back to the game after Harvey. I messed with it for days before i realized the control settings were whacked.

That I figured out.  You have to go through EVERY input device and set it to none in the mapping.   My steering wheel and pedals did exactly as you stated.  The auto fire was my flight pedals.  Why auto configure flight pedals to guns???????????

I mean you may as well devote your time to useless graphic co pilots rather than fix crap.  just saying

i believe the throttle doesn't work until u reset it as a safety feature. Example: You bee drinking really heavily and popped a few Ambien just to relax. Yous see a great fight happening and u quickly head over there. Start your plane and it takes of before your ready and you see the terrible knights about to vulch u but u can stop because the lfight is in motion.  The doorect was is to get in you plane and see if you can take off without gettig shot. so before the plane taxis u thhinkg the mafiia is gonna get yu and u log off and save the day .
    Sorry benn drinking some I may have to read it a few times to see if i makes sence.'got a B in engliish in hights schoool but wasent sas luded up

I have had the same problem with my CH pro throttle.... Exactly how you described it

Started doing this about 3 to 4 patches back, but I never thought of reporting it since it was so easy to figure out for myself personally.....

Guess now that I should have

It's not a bug, it is a way that many different things can control the throttle with out different selections. As example, at take off you could just hit shift + and be at full throttle instead of moving the throttle. Or you can grab VRcontrollers and control the throttle with the virtual one, the key board. or the throttle on your stick.

Are you saying that if I have my throttle at 100% I can over ride it simply by using the keyboard commands?

Or does this just pertains to flying in VR?

I thought was so simple to figure out that it is not an issue for me

I may drive up there and throttle Hitech with his favorite refreshment.

Cool thanks

I'm gonna program one of the 144 button/hatswitch with a "Shift +"

Lol mine does the same thing thought I was going crazy and had a bad throttle thanks for posting this fess

Yeah.  In a staged mission with an air start, I start falling out of the sky.    
Even if I wiggle my throttle I still fall out of formation before I can compensate.

Maybe with air start, you assume full throttle until they tell you otherwise instead of assuming zero throttle.  That's probably the better assumption for air starts.

It seemed to me this crept in when the autodetect appeared and the xbox controller showed up until I double-hit a button on my joystick.

Any chance it could realize the throttle's what I want to use when I get rid of the xbox controller?
