TM Warthog strange throttle behaviour

[steph1258]

Hello everyone,

I have just recently bought the F-15E but I run into a few problems with the setup of my controls (not to mention stutters and lags...).

So here goes:

My throttle inputs (both left and right) do not seem to translate into anything in-game and the setup seems bugged.

It begins on the setup page where it seems that both my left and right throttle seem to have been given a centre point around which they operate, much like the yaw axis.

In-game, this translates into my throttles not working at all... I can see they move erratically when I either push or pull both levers but in the end, the damn thing just wouldn't budge, hence no RPM control...

I have tried to fiddle with the special options but cannot for the life of me understand how they work...

It is weird and I cannot find a solution anywhere on the forum or the wwweb.

If anyone has a solution I would be glad to hear it!

Thank you all and enjoy your evening/day wherever you are.

Have you checked your axis settings twice, to make sure you don't have double inputs?
Cheers!

Hi,

Yes I have, the Warthog throttle is the only one bound for left and right throttle (Z for left and RZ for right I believe). No other input on the line for left and right throttle, I made sure of it by checking twice before hopping in the cockpit.

Maybe that has to do with the special options (idle and AB detent) but I am not quite sure how it works since no other module gives such options...

Ok, so I tried to re-map everything but the same thing happens again.

As long as I do not touch my throttle everythong is fine BUT when I move then past the IDLE setting (on my hardware, i.e. past the OFF Detent on my TM Warthog Throttle assembly) then the weirdest thing happens:

• My throttles are both set to around 50% of their actual course (whatever the setting I input)
• if I retard or advance them they do move back momentarily but as soon as the movement stop on my hardware, they return to their 50% position (which corresponds to around 84% RPM in-game).

In that position I cannot taxi nor fly as the throttles just do not respond to my inputs properly.

I checked my controls on other aircraft (both ED and Third Party) and they work just fine. Trying te re-tune my L & R throttles on the F-15E command panel does nothing either (BTW there are no double inputs as only my TM Warthog Throttle assembly is set).

I'm at a loss with what to do now... Does anyone have an advice?

What a strange behaviour, did you check throttle axis deadzones? You can bring up the controls indicator ( Rctrl+enter) to see what inputs are being sent to the aircraft.

Apologies for the late reply...

I did check that too, indeed. To no avail, so I took on the next approach : I erased all axis bindings in the settings for the F15E and started from scratch.

And that worked. A few tweeks on the AB detent and I now have a proper control over both left & right throttles!

Thanks for the help (again!) BJ55!
