Title: Plz help a noob
Post by: *PAPA* on August 07, 2006, 12:28:21 PM

Ok...I got everything installed....controls set up....set to "auto take off"....etc., and plane just sits on the runway.  Throttle is at full but plane does not take off.    Same thing for vehicles....I put the sucker into gear and nothing happens.  Now what?

make sure your joystick is setup in the control section of AH. Otherwise it will never see your throttle control and not give your plane or gv any gas to go

Thanks.  I mapped the RPM and I can watch the cockpit control on the left side of the cockpit move up and down as I increase and decrease the throttle from max to min from my controller. Engine noise doesn't change though.  Am I missing something?

not sure if that is the gas
what stick are you using?
you should have to map the throttle axis to throttle in the three window ah setup screen. In a 109 the throttle is the stick on the left with a round grip on top. when I move my x45 throttle, that thing slides back and forth as does my engine noise

Map your throttle to throttle 1 not RPMs. RPMs are related to fuel economy which you can see in the E6B on your clipboard.
The throttle should change your manifold pressure.

Small question, did ya hit "E" to start your engine?

and for gv's you need to put em in gear as well as start the engine--- the Q key by default goes up gear and the W key goes down a gear

planes no gear .. once the throttle is mapped and engine is running (it starts for you automajically) just leter go and it will auto take off:cool:



:aok

Hi PAPA!

As Fuze already said.... you need to map THROTTLE 1 to your Joystick throttle lever. That controls the Mainfold Pressure (basically your gas pedal).

The RPMs are tied to the pitch of your prop blades and can be used to reduce fuel consumption. Check your E6B (ESC for clipboard) for different RPM/MP settings to save fuel.


You can check if your going full throttle (ie full MP, not RPM!!) by pressing P key (WEP). In most fighter planes WEP (War Emergency Power) was extra emergency boost given for a short amount of time - danger of engine overheat!! Youll get WEP at lowered rpms (they are automatically set to full by that) but only at full MP.


To reduce rpms in flight either map that to an extra slider or rotary or use the +/- keys on your numpad.
