fullcoupe Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Out of curiosity, has anyone found the throttles on the Hornet to be a little ineffective in the first half of the band? I'm using the TM Warthog HOTAS and haven't messed with curves or anything yet. Saturation is 100%. I notice it most when I'm taxiing around. I have to push the throttles over half just to get the A/C to roll with no loadout and minimal fuel. In most other sim A/C it seems like just inching the throttle forward should be enough thrust to start a roll. Is this true to the Hornet IRL? Also, has anyone with the TM Warthog found the need to tweak their throttle settings, specific to the Hornet? If so, what changes have you made? i7 9700k @ 4.9 GHz | Asus Z390-A | EVGA 1080Ti SC2 | Oculus Rift + Touch | TM HOTAS Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmedges Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I’ve thought the same thing but I’ve never had a module that I felt needed adjustment so I don’t know how. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Allied Air Command Website | Allied Air Command Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need about 80% thrust just to taxi. It seems like a lags a bit though. It could be because it’s just such an awesome flight and system model. So we are just not used to the real deal. Maybe.

Eldur Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I set Y Sat at 91, because otherwise about the first 9% of it's throw are just plain dead, absolutely nothing happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I will have to check again, but pretty sure after my carrier landings I am able to taxi to parking area with around 40-50% throttle to get it moving, then back off a little.

I want to thank you for this, it helped me a lot when trying to manage my throttle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermal Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 RCTRL-ENTER brings up the Joystick overlay in game. You can also see a trim indicator when in FLAPS-FULL. You can clearly see the first 10% of physical throttle travel is a software induced deadzone, which is a bit of a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jserdynski Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) F-18 Throttle Found problem: Had throttles as Sliders, unchecking Sliders allowed for full use of Throttles. . . Using RCntl-Enter, can see that DCS throttles do not advance off idle until the Saitek Throttle is past 50% of the real throttle, this leaves only 50% to 100% usable . . . Thus, twice as sensitive . . . Anywhere can adjust the throttle in DCS to get full Throttle range . . . The Saitek software shows the Throttles are at idle when the actual throttle is at idle, etc, etc . . . It is only the F-18 . . .
