Title: throttle control problem
Post by: spmark88 on September 21, 2008, 09:32:23 PM

hey i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out whats going on with my throttle...

i have a joystick and i set the throttle control so i could control it on my joystick instead of using the + and - buttons on the keyboard, the problem im having is that even after i switched it to the joystick it seems to of just split the control in half so now if i want to go full throttle i have to use the + button and the joystick control.

it use to work normally before on my old comp...maybe i didnt change all of the settings correctly? if anyone could help that would be great.

thanks.

Silly question I know, but did you have your slider scale on zero when mapping. This has happened to me before and I just un-mapped, put slider to back to zero and re-mapped and then all was good.

Have you calibrated the throttle?

... and centered the throttle at the end of calibration? If you leave it at one end or the other, you'll only get the + or the -, not the whole range.

Ensure you mapped throttle axis to No1 Engine. If not the throttle lever will only adjust throttle on the mapped engine. Will post more exact details when I get back from work.
