Title: Aircraft Liftoff Failure
Post by: Happy1 on June 10, 2006, 10:10:58 PM

:) Greetings:

Am having problems w/getting my plane OFF the runway since AH208, I thought I did the setup correctly thnx to Hammer's NetAces, It's all in Mode 1, flight keys mapped, views mapped, axis & scaling done...YES, I did click on Advance & at completion, clicked OK.

My J/S is Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner II.

I set under Flight  to Auto-takeoff, it doesn't work!!  Throttle all the way fwd
I tried releasing the brakes by pressing the 'space bar' ... didn't work, in-
creased throttle by pressing =, plane rolled on runway but wouldn't takeoff.

Set Flight control to Manual Takeoff .... no help :(

Would some1 pls help me out of this dilemma?  TY.

Cheers,

Happy1  :D

Did you try recalibrating the throttle?

Yes, I recalibrated my J/S in Windows & AH2, results negative :(

Check in the joystick settings with the advanced mode for each axis if they work correctly. Seems to me like problems with throttle calibration.

Also try if when you put full throttle you can switch wep on. If you cant, then your not at full throttle for some reason.

Make sure you applied your throttle correctly, NOT to RPM 1.

do you have a slider control on your throttle? if its mapped to the prop control (or RPM) it could be set to minimum or the axis could be backward. try pushing the + key.

^ what he said.

Aftter update, my throttle mapped  RPM slider still was bound -- but the axis was reversed, so the top was LOWEST rpms. No way to get off the ground with that! After cllicking the "reverse axis" option, all was OK.
