can not reproduce Throttle settings not saved 29 only

[Tshark]

My throttle settings will not save from one DCS session to the next with the MiG-29.  I tune the axis by checking the "slider" box and adjust a saturation to 84 to match the AB to my detents.  For the rest of the flying session the settings are saved.  When I shut down DCS and restart it the only the throttle "slider" and saturation settings are lost.  This is the only module that does this.    

Any suggestions or is this a bug?

same bug for me. I set up user curves to align physical detents to the military power value when i restart dcs, all is back to default.

Same here. Initially had left and right engine axes mapped to a split throttle, but the custom curves kept on resetting the next day.

After switching to the single thrust axis (and clearing the other two), the settings on that axis persist after restarts

Same. Quite annoying bug.

I just found out that the F-5E (FF) is also affected by this...

I configured my Virpil dual throttles as sliders in-game and added a -10 curve to make the physical detent match the in-game AB detend, but whenever I restart DCS, these settings are gone.

I got the throttle settings to save for me.  My past attempts were made while in VR.  Immediately after the latest patch, I started up DCS in 2D and made the changes.  Since then they have not changed.  Don't know if this was just a unicorn or a way around the bug, but thought I would share.

I am also a non-VR User, and yet it doesn't save.

Hi all, sorry but we have not been able to reproduce this issue, can you retry and attach your dcs logs from the session

thank you

I see you too have the Virpil T-50CM3 Throttle

I think there are some unresolved issues with that hardware in DCS.

In the Changelog from https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.20.15010/
There is a fix for the same hardware on the F16 : "Fixed: Duplicating Thrust axes on the VPC Throttle MT-50CM3 joystick."

And I had reported an issue with it in the Apache forum last May with the T-50CM3 Throttle, but got no answer from ED.
Curious that my issue is that the controls are reverting to default when i shutdown and restart DCS, in certain conditions.

@BIGNEWY

Here are some further test results:

These are the settings that I set for my throttle axis for the Virpil CM3 throttle:


 

After setting these values in an instant action mission, I did the same with the F-5E in an instant action and set these values to hit the physical AB detent. See how these values are basically inverted to those I set for the MiG-29:




Next, I check the MiG-29 settings again in another instant action mission - and they have been overwritten to the values that I just had set for the F-5E?!



Then, after restarting the game, I see these settings for the MiG-29...




... and for the F-5E -  they are all gone again.

Here's my log file as requested:

I also see several .crash files in the logs folder, even though I quit DCS the correct way, there was no crash. Not sure if that means anything?

thank you, we will try to reproduce

On my end, seems there is a difference between setting controls "in a mission" vs "in the main menu".

In the main menu, my controls were saved/persisted correctly after a game restart - while it did not when i adjusted controls in a mission.

 

Can anyone confirm if this makes a difference for them?

I would have to check, but what I just tried in the main menu was configuring both F-5E (FF) and MiG-29 throttles directly one after the other, and the throttle settings of the former always overwrote the throttle settings of the latter. There is a direct connection between those two throttle settings

Has there been any resolution to this issue?  I too am experiencing my throttle settings being overwritten each time I restart DCS (regardless if the settings were saved while in mission or from the main screen).  I am using the CM3 throttle as well.

I also have a CM3 throttle, and these are my settings for both L and R thrust:

I chose not to mess with saturation, and the small curvature makes sure the reheat detent is where it is supposed to be (the deadzone of 3 is to take care of the physical idle detent). You peeps might try if this works for you. They are saved correctly for me, and I never had this issue...

[Tango3B]

Just a heads up, if you`re using a CM3 throttle (like I do) then make sure you update your drivers and your firmware to the newest version. Having done that, this problem does not exist anymore. I had it, too...could trace it to having neglected to update my drivers/software for quite a bit. There you go...problem solved.
