Control throttle axes independently?

[Thundercat710]

Greetings,

 

I have an X55 throttle and have tried binding each engine to its own axis. In theory it seems to be working when I slide them in the control page, but when I get in the sim I find that I can only really control the left one, and the right side just follows along, even if I have my right throttle axis down to idle. I double checked it with the axis movement indicator in the controls page and the two axes are both being recognized correctly by DCS, so I'm wondering if there's some other setting that I need to adjust? 

 

Thanks

Hi Man,

I noticed this in the F18 module as well, but I think the game doesnt have the actual throttle seperation animation? ( i could be wrong, I usually am )

have the split set in the controls, and then double check the gages in the cockpit to see if the thrust changes on the physical gages in the sim

Works fine on my side, make sure that there is no binding for the throttles both axis binding.

It has for every 2 engine module in game(also FC3 planes) since....atleast many many years but i think this was also true for the old LockOn game.

Interesting, yeah I'll check my controls again. Thanks

Must just be that my throttles axes are getting physically worn out, or slipping, something like that. There's a tightener knob on the side of the throttles but it doesn't really affect the right throttle that much when I adjust it. Don't really need independent throttles that much so I'm still good to go for now

They are handy to have in the Tomcat, though. You know...flat spins and all.

Splitting throttles isn't part of the boldface.

Neither is sweeping the wings back to drop the nose and to pull BACK on the stick to get airflow over the rudders to rudder into the turn.

And yet, some things work to quickly recover from a flat spin that aren't in the boldface and probably should be.

Isn't there a switch in the cockpit that's on by default, that limits asymmetric thrust? Could it be that, perhaps?

It's not that. There is such switch in the B but it takes care of afterburner thrust only.
