Title: Throttle Commands
Post by: Cheeks on February 12, 2000, 02:36:00 PM

Having trouble using throttle commands.  When I start engine, after engine gets to idle, the MP zooms to about 60, and the plane takes off down the runway.  I can't seem to control throttle with -/= on the ground or in flight. (Or with SHFT - / SHFT =.)  The prop RPM works OK.  I'm running TM WCS Mk II/FCS Mk II.  But his also happens when I have the keyboard connected directly w/o my controllers.  This is after a new install, and I checked the keyboard command setup to make sure -/= were linked to throttle down/up.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cheeks

From what I understand, the game requires a joystick to be detected by the game to make it work. So, disconecting the keyboard and getting the same results might indicate that your throttle/stick setup is not working correctly, i.e. a bad wire or pot maybe? Does Windows recognize all of your controll axis properly, and do they function correctly in the calibration/test window? About the only things I can think of, sorry, not familiar with Thustmaster equip.

Thanks for the reply.  I dled the newest patch, and everything seems to work now.  Not sure what the problem was before.
