Power level return to zero

[Rizsoto]

Hi everyone,

I hope someone here can help me!

I'm playing DCS on Steam using my Quest 3. For controls, I only use a rudder and the Quest 3 controller.

The issue I'm facing is with adjusting the engine power. I can grab and push the throttle forward (which works), but as soon as I release the grip, it snaps back to zero.

Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

check your axis bindings.  throttle axis probably got bound to something you didn't expect.  this is nearly always the culprit with analog axii jumping around.

I removed all bindings related to the power level. I checked the axis commands for both my throttle and rudder, and only the rudder and brakes are assigned.

I tried other missions, and when the power level is already set up, I can move it without any issues.

However, in a cold start situation, I still can't set the power level...

You need to use keyboard to get from cut off to idle position.

Hi, so no solution without a keyboard ?

you might try clicking on the power lever without moving it?  in some DCS modules, that toggles between off an idle position, but i don't know if it works in the AH64

No, but you can use 3rd party programs like voice attak or joystick gremlin to work around it.

Doesn't work for 64.
