Bonz Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The Button functions for both throttles work fine... When shutoff both 1 and 2 boxes light up green. When pushed to Idle both circles light up green and both boxes grey out. However, My left throttle axis is off ... a lot. The pictures show both axis at OFF, IDLE, MIL and MAX. My question is... My throttle worked fine until recently ... could this be the result of an incorrect calibration or a mechanical issue in the throttle? Does anyone have a solution?

Bonz Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 I have the solution... I attempted to calibrate using Windows. Once I realized that this throttle require calibration via SimAppPro the solution was possible. I had to go back into the Window Calibration tool and select my throttle and reset to default.

MustangSally Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Please, please, please do not use windows to calibrate. You are lucky you didn't brick your Taurus. The Windows calibration routine is there for old legacy sticks (device's without their own eproms). I really wish MS would give users a warning!

Dragon1-1 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I don't get how the Windows routine would brick anything. It essentially takes the raw inputs, reads their limits and and then adjusts what the software sees to match. Yes, it sucks, but it shouldn't load anything into the joystick, because when it was designed there was no way for it to do so (it's basically unchanged from gameport times). Also, it can always be reset to default, not sure if it even persists after disconnecting and reconnecting the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me long ago on a Warthog throttle Just use the calibration software that came with the product!
