I've calibrated it in windows and it shows the full
range of throttle - but in game when the throttle is less
than 3/4 it is dead -above 3/4 full throttle....

do I have to calib it in game for throttle also? I've looked
but dont see anywhere to calibrate the trottle...

If you just bought it,  call support... they will help you troubleshoot it...

I've been using a precision pro usb for years, and I never saw that problem...

:cool: try calibrating your throttle but don't put it into the stops, leave a bit of movement on both ends. I saw this problem in another fight sim, but usually the throttle would top out around 90%, not 75%.

you need to caliberate in the game.

go to settings
hit joystick
this is the menu that will come up. i have circled the caliberation tab.

just go through the instructions and you should be set.
