Throttle Control curved?

Hey all

I've been flying the F-16 for ~2 months now, and I've come to the conclusion that it isn't just me being weird.

I feel like the throttle is curved in a weird way. I've checked everywhere, all the settings menues in DCS and on my HOTAS and all, but there are no curves to be found.

The afterburner is around about the same place as on the F-18, but all the space below the afterburner detent is kinda scaled weirdly? I feel like I have basically no low-speed control, but a LOT of control just below and above the afterburner.

I've flown a lot of the modules in DCS and I haven't felt like the throttle has had this weird curve before, is it just me, is it intentional or is it maybe a bug?

Then set up your own curve, the option menu gives you everything.

Hi Infectedd,

Bring up your controls in sim. Right Ctrl + Enter and take a look at the movement with your throttle.

You can mess around and add your own curve as Der Hirte has said.

You also might try calibrating the throttle. Movement should be linear from idle to blower. Any spikes or large differences might be hardware related.

Infectedd, what are your machine and device (HOTAS) specifications?

I'm asking because when I ran DCS on my old PC (~1+ month ago) I also noticed problems with the throttle curve. But since I upgrade to a way better gaming PC that problem went away with a same HOTAS (...TM Cougar Hotas).

One problem is the throttle represents MIL pass the detent. This is obvious if you watch your throttle value from an external view. Look at the footer info, get to the 100% value on throttle. Then jump in the pit and look at the cockpit throttle. You will see that it is beyond the detent and slightly resting in a lifted state. That isn’t how the real jet works, the MIL detent is 100% MIL and lifting and pushing the throttle pass the detent engages the AB.
