Scottyd Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi, I've just ran the update for DCS as I have not played it for a year and dragged out my Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog stick and throttles. I have updated windows from 7 to 10 about 6 months ago. I now find that my throttles have the sliders reading in reverse and I cannot work out how to get them to display the minimum digital readout (Zero) at the idle position on each throttle and the max digital position (over 65000) at max throttle position. I have tried reversing the axis in the DCS axis settings to no avail. I have tried several calibrations in the USB Game Controller window to no avail. I have tried loading up the TARGET UI software and it refuses to show the throttle axis movement on both L & R. I have restarted windows and DCS and uninstalled the game controllers in the device manager and even unplug the throttles to no avail.

Scottyd Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Could it be corrected in the registry editor?

rob10 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think part of your issue is the fact that you calibrated it in the (I assume) Windows calibration. You need to get that deleted and calibrate it as needed with Thrustmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyd Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I found V1.07 throttle cal tool and have ran that a few times (even deleted the throttles before running it) and its still going the wrong way :( Intel Core i7-8700K 3.70 GHz 6-core 12-thread | Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming-CF - Intel Chipset | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 OC 8GB) | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4 3200MHz | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyd Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Even the paddle wheel on the right side of the throttles is displaying its axis the wrong way...

some1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It's normal, just a convention used in Windows. If it's reversed in game, click the invert checkbox, that's what it's for.

Scottyd Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have been trying the throttles in game and they are not working at all. I've been trying different settings in game for each axis but the throttles in game don't move at all.

some1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Each aircraft has separate assignments and also there are different settings often for game and sim mode. Are you sure you're assigning them in correct place?

Scottyd Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm in the settings for the F/A-18 Sim tab. I now think its my fault as when I plugged in the throttles they were all the way forward and I keep deleting the drivers and reinstalling them but it doesn't change. I also plugged the throttles into my sons gaming laptop with windows 10 on it and that doesn't have any thrustmaster software or drivers installed and in the properties for it they were doing the same thing. I wonder if the throttles are stuffed?

some1 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 No, as I said it's a normal convention in Windows. Towards the user is +, away from the user is -. That's how the throttle looks in Windows with all axes full forward: Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil T-50CM, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the throttle looks in Windows with all axes full forward: Oh ok Thanks some1. I thought I was going mad trying to get it to function the opposite way. Although in DCS, if I don't run a script in TARGET software, the throttles are opposite to the game.

Weegie Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You can either reverse the axis in TARGET or you can use the in game option If you're only using TARGET to reverse the axis and nothing else you'd be better to use the Option that the game offers you as it will use less resources. In the axis page of the settings click on the the device, then select Axis Tune in that page there is a checkbox to reverse the axis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usafphantom2 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have this problem now too, And what isn't being addressed here is what went wrong when it suddenly reversed axis. Does anyone know what would cause this and how what to fix. Flipping the axis in the game is just a bandaid if it works . Thanks for your input.
