HOTAS throttle issues with F-18C in VR

[Laika007]

Hello, I am new to the VR world. I have Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog replica A-10 throttle and joystick. I have downloaded Steam VR, VR A-10C, and VR F-18C. When flying the A-10C in VR, there are no issues with both the throttle and joystick. When flying the F-18C in VR and in free flight, the joy stick works but, the throttle does not. Originally, when I moved the throttle, it would adjust the pitch and yaw peddles but not the thrust. The aircraft throttle is locked into a position and cannot be moved using the HOTAS throttle. I have read a bit on how to program the throttle by deleting commands and adding some others to the “Thrust” cell but to no avail. Again, I am new to this so I am not sure how to get the throttle working when fling the F-18C in VR. Is it possible to get a step, by step process on what needs to be done to program the throttle correctly and address the throttle issues or, is the Thrustmaster throttle not going to work with the F-18C in VR and I will need to purchase a different throttle? Any and all help would be appreciated - THANKS!

Hi! I'm using the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, and I'm flying in VR as well. I'm not familiar with VR FA-18C though. However, I have no issues with using the throttle and stick, regardless of VR or not. As far as i know, the controls you are using shouldn't be related to VR. Are you sure you have your HOTAS set up correctly in settings? I don't use any additional software for either VR or my HOTAS, and it works flawlessly. Try without any extra software, thats just likely to mess things up.

Are the engines running in your F/A-18C?

Check post #4 in the following thread:

Seemed the OP of the thread above, was having a similar issue as you - my direction fixed the issue for him, hopefully it will do the same for you. This is in regards to assigning the OFF/IDLE detents, which might cause an issue that you are describing.

 

 

Double check that you are selecting the "assign axis" button on the bottom of the controls menu - to assign the thrust. Also ensure that you disconnect the throttles on your physical HOTAS so you can assign the left and right throttle independently.

 

Last piece of advice/guidance for this issue to try and troubleshoot - is double check that nothing has been bound to the throttle axis' in the UI layer (which has bindings for VR stuff and I believe there is an axis' button on the bottom of that category as well).

 

Ensure that you are selecting the "appropriate" F/A-18C main category as well. There is a "GAME" and "SIM" F/A-18C. You should be using the "F/A-18C SIM" main category, as there are limitations to what you can do when flying in "GAME MODE."
