Falk Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Ok, currently I don't have a throttle slider or HOTAS system. When I press page up / page down, the throttle inside the cockpit moves to certain presets (idle, MIL, afterburner) and despite it moves a hell lot, it's cool because I set the buttons on my gamepad to power up / power down and that increments and decreases power by 10% each touch. I'd like to know if there's some sort of file edit trick to decrease this increment to say, 5%, 3% or something like this, because I really have a hard time tuning brakes, throttle and everything else while in formation so I won't be left behind or trespass the formation leader. Or maybe if there's some tool to control the throttle like in the Novalogic games - you press and hold the + sign and it increases little by little as long as you hold it down?
Black_Hawk Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 1. When choosing leader it should be someone with the least experience in holding tight formations. 2. You really should get something better to fly formations. It is a necessity. I'm not saying that you are a bad pilot, just that good hardware makes a good pilot even better. But then, I know pilots who do wonders with just a keyboard and mouse. It takes a lot of practice but eventually pays off. And you could try setting your throttle to the mouse wheel. You should get smaller increments with that. Or even better, if you don't use the mouse for looking around/flying set the Y axis for throttle. 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team

Falk Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 Indeed I should get myself decent hardware -_____- Just wondering if there was some sort of workaround for the throttle thing. Thanks guys, and Black_Hawk, I'll try the mouse wheel thing.
