Valkenswaard Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Hello everybody, First let me say what a fantastic sim this is. I've been with DCS, and Lock On before that, right from the start but never went active in the community up until now to my regret. I have a Logitech RumblePad 2 for when I'm flying just for fun an always have the Thrust up/down binded to keys on the pad (which works perfectly on the other DCS modules). Now in the settings for Mig-21bis you can bind Throttle Up and Down (Joystick), but it does not seem to work. Is this a bug? Or am I missing something obvious? greets Valk
portman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Did you release the throttle before trying to move it? Mancher zum Meister sich erklärt, dem nie das Handwerk ward gelehrt!
Valkenswaard Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Did you release the throttle before trying to move it? Yes. It's not a big issue overall but it still strikes me as a bug. When pressing the throttle up button (or down respectively) on my pad (which is mapped to throttle up/down (joystick)) i get the typical button "click" sound in a loop. But the throttle lever in the cockpit does not move (throttling up with the keybord command works fine by the way). I can only map the throttle up/down (joystick) command to my pad, not the normal throttle up/down command which seems to be only mappable to the keybord. Could this be a bug? Right now I use the logitech gaming software to simulate the keybord command on my pad which works fine. greets Valken
dawestsides Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I am having the same issue with a Cyborg-X... [/url]My MAKS 2015 Pictures
Valkenswaard Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Still the same after update 3. Otherwase nice updated Mig :thumbup:
Azkaltia Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Throttle up/down (Joystick) not working Same problem with a Logitech F710 gamepad. I use the exact same keyboard/gamepad setup for the Saber 86F and I have no problem setting the thrust with the pad. I'm guessing there's a bug or a function preventing it.
Vinny002 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hi, guys! I'm having the same problem like what valkenswaard is having too. I got the throttle up/down (joystick) mapped to one of the buttons on the joystick, I release the throttle, I get the typical button "click" sound in a loop, and the throttle lever in the cockpit does not move, and the throttling up with the keyboard command works fine. Any solutions to this problem? Thanks! Cheers, Vincent
ericdb7g Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I am having the same problem, but I do have a workaround. I am using an Xbox One controller with my left/right bumpers as my throttle up/down. I also get the looping "click" sound. You can use Xpadder. Just open it before you fly, and set your throttle up/down buttons as the proper keyboard command for throttle. You can save those two buttons as a profile for your controller/joystick and then all you will have to do in the future is open it up. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xpadder/ Basically the program just takes joystick/gamepad inputs and fakes them to the system as keyboard/mouse commands.

This is THE solution to the problem!!! Works perfectly for my Logitech F710 wireless gamepad. A small work around but at least you don't have to open any config files or start editing .lua code. Thanks again!!

I use the same workaround with the Logitech Gaming Software. I even use it with the other planes. Otherwise i'd have to enable and disable the software whenever changing planes. Still it would be nice not to have to use a surplus software running in the background.
PiedDroit Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I just noticed this thread, check this one http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2272684&postcount=4, I posted a fix not involving the use of a 3rd party software, you might want to try it. Cheers.
