Sure would like to have the throttle in GV's stay full after you release pressure on the stick. Or even better have throttle controlled by my ch throttle. Its a drag having to hold stick forward for max speed. Arm gets tired on them long drives.

If you have a CH stick u can turn the trim wheal forward.

I think you can map that function to the throtel as well.

Never thought of this, wonder if it works with a Couger?

Either way I agree with iceMAW, It should be like a gas pedal.

With my joystick, the worlds best a Wingman Interceptor, i push forward then go to a gun and it keeps throttle on.

I accelerate up to cruising speed, then switch to another gun position, like the turret or a pintle gun. My vehicle maintains speed as if I was pushing on the stick. Additionally, you can steer from the other gun positions using rudder.

This is my biggest gripe about AH, (Hey... I'm easy to please)

Why can't HTC just make the GV control system the same as the PT boat? You can jump to a gunner position in a PT and use Rudder to Steer (Like GV's) but also the throttle is controlled by...... Yup you've guessed it.... the Throttle

So with a PT you can jump between all positions and still have full control of the boat. The only thing you cannot do is change gear and I don't even see why that is a problem as the keys do not conflict with a gunner position anyway. C'mon HTC you know it makes sense.

Just my 2c

the cougar has excellent trim functions. this is my hat 4 config:
BTN H4U /U /H Trim_Elev_Up
/M Toggle_Icons
/D /I HOLDTRIM (JOYSTICK)
/O Select_Engine_1
BTN H4D /U /H Trim_Elev_Down
/M /H Trim_Elev_Down
/D /I {TRIM (JOYX, 0) TRIM (JOYY, 0)}
/O Select_Engine_3

BTN H4L /U /H Trim_Aileron_Left
/M /H Trim_Aileron_Left
/D /I LOCK (THR, LASTVALUE)
/O Select_Engine_2

BTN H4R /U /H Trim_Aileron_Right
/M /H Trim_Aileron_Right
/D /I UNLOCK (THR)
/O Select_Engine_4

so, if I set the dogfight switch on the throttle to D, and hold S4 button down while pressing Hat4 up the position of the X and Y axises are held until I press S4 and Hat4 Down. I have the same for to hold lock the throttle when bombing, so I don't accidentally change speed...
