The throttle just dont work for the engine and i cant uderstand how to use options menu to use them in game. I also tried somew prefilled profiles but the throttle just dont work. Someone can help me please?

You need to configure the "Axis Commands" in the config section.

 

There's a menu at the top of the commands list when you go there. You can click a drop menu to select the aircraft and then goto the next drop menu to the right and you can pick "Axis Commands". Clear them "button on top right" individually and then click each axis you want in the column it represents (rudder, pitch, roll etc) and it will bring up a window for you to move your hotas in and setup.

 

Hope that makes sense.

Notice that your X-55 throttle is seem as separated device from X-55 joystick in game controls.

 

Select some plane, e.g. P-51 go Options > Controls > Axis commands

Select the throttle line and under X-55 throttle name click in the column box,

move the throttle axis back and forth until registered. Click OK.

 

Now in AXIS TUNE invert the axis if necessary, set deadzone, curvature, etc.

I did but the game when i move the throttle says its the stick

Oh, you must first calibrate throttle in the Saitek software,

 

 

and then in the simulation for each aircraft choose to adjust the axis of each engine.

 

 

See attached pictures also.

I tried...but it seems that the Saitek software cant overwrite the game options. Is there a way to play in windowed mode like in the video? Because the Profile button doestn work

Mark anywhere in the key options for the X-55 Throttle, after that click on Clear Category above. Do the same for axis option menu in the slider menu for the Throttle. When the throttle options get empty then select all manually to your throttle.
