Hello Yurgon, First, my comment about a new issue was just due to the fact that in seven years, it never happened. With that said, I do have it working now. It was a combination of things, I don't know which one did the trick or if it was all of them. Here is what I did: 1. repair the install of DCS beta 2. Use JoyId (An old program from back in the day) to change the order of the joystick ports to match the order that DCS displayed from left to right. 3. Downloaded and used the old Thrustmaster Calibration tools. It took three times to get the settings to stick. Again the weird thing was the whole time the F-18 and F-5 were fine until I used Windows calibration tool. That broke those too. That's when I did the repair install and did the items listed above.

Thanks for the reply, My standard procedure for the A10 in cold and dark is to load with the throttles at idle. Once it’s loaded and the cockpit is clickable I pull the throttles back to the off position. I know that DCS has trouble recognizing that the throttles are below the idle stops otherwise. In this case it doesn’t matter, they aren’t moving at all regardless of the position I try to put them in. As for going into a hot cockpit, the right throttle on the screen mimics the right throttle on the thrust master perfectly. The left the throttle stays at idle until the the trust master is about 33%. The the sim goes to WOT from there on. Like it is a switch instead of an axis. Like I said all other aircraft don’t have this behavior.

So I have encountered a new issue. My Thrustmaster Warthog throttles work in every other DCS aircraft. In the A10 and the A10 II they misbehave. If I cold and dark start, they refuse to work. If I start in flight one throttle works and the other only goes from 0% to 100%. When I try to delete the axis and remap it, DCS gets really confused. In Axis assignments, the little white line moves back and forth in the full range. If I delete the axis and try to re-assign it, DCS doesn't recognize that the throttle is moving. What puzzles me is if I do the same steps in the F5 or the F18, it works fine every time. What the heck is going on?

This may be true. However, it is a poor reason not to bring a solution forward. I realize that DCS world 2 is a beta product. The taxi issue is likely widespread. However, there are simple fixes which just get people up and running. For example if you stagger and runway start the flights using the mission editor, the mission flies just fine. However, there is no way to save it.

So this was supposed to be fixed in an update two weeks ago. Where is the update? I just want to be able to use the product I purchased. I would understand if it were just me, but this is obviously a widespread problem.

So, I was attempting to fix this using the mission editor. However, the mission will not save. Why can't it save?

To be specific, the A10 has collector tanks which can provide fuel for the engines in negative G or inverted flight. These tanks provide about 10 seconds of fuel at max power.
