Engine 4 throttle Won't work
« on: December 12, 2008, 02:30:35 PM »
I could never figure out why I could not take off in a big Bomber. IT would always vear of the runway to the right while using the auto takeoff.

IF I Took off manually then I would usually not have enough power to get more then a few feet off the ground then plummet back to earth.

Anyway One time I tried again and the plane flew perfectly think it was a b24. Straight down the runway Climbed like i would expect.

Anyway The next time was same as before off to the right no power. That's when I realized the #4 throttle was stuck as maybe 30%. Nothing I could do would budge it. All the other 3 would move together or individually.


Any Ideas what to Do?


I really like bombing but this is seriously bumming me out. I'm stuck using the b26 b which is a fine plane mind you.

I assume you have a 4 quad throttle stick.  Make sure all 4 throttles are calibrated in the game.  Check the numbers for each of the 4 sticks and make sure those numbers are going full range.

Ok, how about mapping Throttle 1 and Throttle 3 instead?  In that configuration, Throttle 1 will control engines 1 & 2, and Throttle 3 will control engines 3 & 4.  Just a test.

so if I hit shift 3 for control engine 3 that would control 3&4 ?

Not sure how I would do that

Yes.  The game notices what throttles you have mapped.  When you map 1 and 3, the game automatically will assign 2 to 1 and 4 to 3, so they will respond in tandem with the appropriate command (i.e. when you throttle up or down 1, 2 will operate in tandem with 1).

I had this same problem with a $15 Logitech stick.  Just figured it was the stick and went out for a better one.
