WOPR Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) When doing a cold start on CVN-71 (and I think CVN-74 pre-SC release) my throttles jump to full when pushing over the IDLE cut-off detent. Quickly adjusting the throttle a little brings it back down, but it shouldn't jump to full from CUTOFF. Mostly this is a nuisance, but a fix or a quick lesson on how my setup is wrong would be appreciated. Throttle is a Warthog. Edited June 19, 2020 by IronMike
IronMike Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 This sounds like a possible hardware issue. Would you happen to have a second throttle to test, or could you test without the throttle connected please? This would let us know if hardware or not. Thank you.

WOPR Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 The F-14 is the only Jet I own that does this, and I believe it is only on the initial start-up. If I respawn, I don't recall seeing this behavior. I tested by disconnecting my throttle and then clicking on the right throttle handle to go from Cuff off to IDLE and the throttle handled moved to the afterburner position. Not likely a hardware issue.
IronMike Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Do you have any other devices connected that might get registered as axis? We know this can happen even with MFDs, sometimes DCS auto-assigns them an axis, which you'd have to clear out. We'll test it on our side, but so far no one else stumbled across this iirc. We'll take a deeper look. Thank you.

WOPR Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Culprit found! I have a saitek trim controller that was assigned to the thrust axis that was overlooked. Close this as no bug/user error.
