Does anyone know why?

[GunnDawg]

Could anyone help me figure out why when I move my Collective on my flight yoke...the throttle goes up instead(yellow lever on the left). Because of this, its impossible for me to even lift off the ground :(

That's because you have a wrong assignement in your keys.

 

Instead of mapping the throttle you need to map the collective in the input options.

[GunnDawg]

I did, I have "Flight Collective" or whatever it shows up in the Axis screens as one of the levers on my flight yoke.... Throttle isnt mapped to anything cause it wont let me map it to anything on my yoke.

I had the exact problem dont map the throttle.. map the collective axis and you will be set....:thumbup:

[GunnDawg]

Have a look here at my settings and see if you can spot it...thanks

EDIT: AS you can see I "DONT" have the throttle mapped, I have the collective mapped....

Anyone?

I had very strange problem with my Saitek rudder/cougar combo.

 

I had to reset every control and put in the axis by them self (do not choose them from the drop down, let the game decide by clear the input, edit input and move the axis you want to assign) for the game to recognise it correctly.

 

And a really stupid question. If you move the slider to the most right (the window slider in the configuration) you don't have anymore assignment hidden? (To the right of the mouse assignment that is?) (Talking about the program window, and not anything else).

 

EDIT: When clearing out i would remove the dual mouse buttons on SIM YOKE as you have them on the mose control. Not saying it would fix anything. Just to be on the safe side and do some normal errorchecking.

No, there are no hidden assignments...

 

I have tried clearing all the axis assignments and re assigned them by moving them until the game picked them up and registered it...my throttle still moves when I move my collect input...makes no sense(if thats what you were suggesting I do)

[GunnDawg]

Here is a link to my yoke with a description about which axis I am trying to assign to collective: http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=543503

 

And here is a link to my current settings page:

I hope someone can figure this out.

Question, why is the rudder set to joy z left throttle?

A shot in the dark, remove rudder z and see if that clears the conflict.

Bullet

Sorry my bad I see joy z is rudder, must stop looking at forums when it is so late,lol

Bullet

[GunnDawg]

Well it actually means the Z Axis on my peddals (they are in 2 diff collums) when I push my rudder peddals left and right it comes up as Joy Z....if I push my rudder peddals in (like a break peddal in a plane) that shows up as JOY X

 

EDIT: I even moved the collective to another one of those LEVERS that wasnt Z and it gave the same failed results.

Edited December 22, 2008 by GunnDawg

[Bulletstop]

and your levers also come up as Joy z, hmm do not know. I have the x52 with peddles and I have had no issues. I wonder if you can you set it up correctly in the software of the controller?

I just see 2 joy z's and to my tired mind seem like a conflict. I am probably wrong about it, but that is how I see it.

However I need to sleep, good luck.

Bullet

[GunnDawg]

AS I said in my edit. I removed Joy Z from the collective and put it onto the middle lever with is like JOY R or something like that, and it did the same thing....

 

Are you saying there is software that you can download that you can configure outside the game, and have the game recognize those controls ?

[Bulletstop]

I do not know anything about CH products so i can not comment if it has programing software.

I have Saitek and it has a decent software for programming and to me it works as advertised.

Hey just out of curiosity, in the controller page, what are the throttles set too, in mine they are pg up and down under the keyboard commands and nothing in the controllers column.

I just verified my settings so I am curious.

Bullet

[GunnDawg]

pg up and pg down as well.....pg up and pg down function the same as which ever lever I assign my "collective" too....they do the same thing...thats what makes no sense to me.

[Threshor]

Make sure there are not any assignments to your joystick in the ins startup controls and levers section in options for throttles up and down. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is that there might be something wrong in you ch control manager. good luck.

what exactly is "ins startup controls" so I can take a look.

[Threshor]

It's half way down the list in the categories

[GunnDawg]

Nope, nothin there :(

[GunnDawg]

I am clueless at this point :(

[Threshor]

Is the throttle using the same axis as your collective in you ch control manager?

[GunnDawg]

OMG suddenly I loaded the game and went to the Axis controls again just to double check stuff...now it let me assign an axis to the throttle(before it wouldnt let me do that) so I assigned one lever to throttle and kept the collective the same, and now they both work!

 

EDIT: Refer to my settings screenshot and you will see it wasnt letting me assign an AXIS to throttle...suddenly, and randomly it let me assign an axis to throttle :)

[Bulletstop]

Ok, any other axis that you can set it to, I mean not the throttle levers, only other thing to try. who knows the controller may default which means that throttle means throttle. This seems unlikely to me but I know nothing about ch sticks.

Edit, cool good to have that fixed. have a good night and I am out for sleep.

[Threshor]

Congrats.......glad it's working......guess we'll see you in the air now...
