Sepp666 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hello hopefully someone can help me with my throttle problem. So I try my best to describe what happens: After a half year without using DCS and my Warthog Stick and Throttle together with the crosswind pedals i started a instant action mission with the A10C which always worked perfect for me in the past. Now the throtttle was at maximum speed position (i call it 100% forward position) and i wanted to fly at slower speed and took the throttle to the middle position (50%) but in the game looking at the throttle it moved only 10% backwards, so i was at minimum 90% anyways. I had a look in the axis options of the throttle but didn't saw anything that was wrong. Then i looked into the Windows10 Gamecontroller settings under "Throttle -HOTAS Warthog" properties and there the Z-Axis and Z-Rotation (left and right thrust) moved only 10%. I recalibrated the throttle with the Throttle calibration tool v1.07 but the behavior didn't change. In the calibration process when i let the throttle at the minimum position when i have to put it to the idle position the Windows10 Z-axis and Z-rotation are moving like 100%. But then in DCS when i go to minimum throttle position the enginges cut off... :helpsmilie: Sorry guys for my bad english, i hope someone knows what i wanted to explain here and could give me advice.:joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower793 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I have just tried mine and it works as expected in Windows - will have a look and see if I can work out anything else it could be. As a first thought, have you tried rebooting the PC and also plugging the throttle into another port? Also, have you tried unplugging the other controllers so that the throttle is the only thing plugged in and then looked at how it behaves in the Windows Game controller screen?

Sepp666 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Thank you for your fast response. I have unplugged all other controllers, deinstalled the target software as well as the thrustmaster drivers and restarted my pc. After that i installed the thrustmaster drivers at the point where it tells me to plug all thrustmaster devices in windows10 detects the throttle and stick and installs them before i could give the thrustmaster installer the command that everything is plugged to the machine. I think that there could be a problem or not, is there a way to stop windows10 automatic driver installation? After the installer is ready i go to the throttle properties and there the same is going on - when i move the htrottle from 0% to 100% the Z-Axis and Z-rotation axis bars only move 10%... Another question: is it normal that the throttle and stick are shown as multimedia devices? I have attached 2 Screenshots. On the screen where the axis and buttons are shown my throttle was at 0% or "at the off position when i move it to max position the bars go back to the left.

Ant0ine Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Maybe the magnet moved a bit.. Here is a post in French describing a similar issue and sharing a solution. http://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=283&t=205003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepp666 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thank you Antoine, but i do not want to open the throttle before i have tested any other option. I have made some more Screenshots of the properties maybe someone sees that there is something wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepp666 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 As I wrote before, when i use the "Throttle Warthog Calibration (V1.07)" tool and let the Idle position of the throttle on off i get the bars in the Windows10 screen to move with the throttle 100%. Another screenshots added. But is it normal that the bars are 100% when the throtlle is at the "off" position? 1000 questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VpR81 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 But is it normal that the bars are 100% when the throtlle is at the "off" position? 1000 questions... Yes, that is normal and they should be at 0% when the throttle is on full burner. The Axis are just displayed in reverse in the Windows game controller settings. My bet is on a displaced magnet, but i´m not an expert...

Sepp666 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 OK mods, this thread can be closed... As usual, the error is sitting in front of the pc. Somehow i forgot to pull the levelers out to put them in the "off" position when i was calibrating with the tool... Pssst... Pls don't tell anyone...:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
