EtherealN Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 All it would take, is for an official ED announcement, along the lines ... M31 and co are quite correct, we should have implemented toe brakes a long time ago, and our axis routine in new dual throttle controllers is Broken ... But we'll fix it, please bear with us. I'll quote: I don't know what kind of secrecy you mean but the split throttle problem is known by ED and SAITEK and it's being worked on.

Panzertard Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 M31, from what I understand there was some problems getting enough sticks to test during development. Communication to Saitek was not successfull. Unfortunetely this situation has not changed. We all wish for support for our sticks, but the devs need to get their hands on them to be able to implement them. We all hope that will change in the future. ;) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
Majesco Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 If twin throttle works in Lock On (and it does) it should work in BS and FC2 too My Saitek Cyborg X's dual throttles work well with both FC 1.1 and 2.0
sobek Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Another call from the lets sweep it under the carpet I'm OK Jack, crowd :( This could have all passed as a casual comment, but for ED Fhanboy intervention. God forbid you ever have a genuine gripe, because I and others will be on your tail dismissing it instantly. I'm a damn ED Customer and my moneys is as good as yours and I WILL NOT BE SHUT UP!!!! Oh shut up :D Seriously, you take comments out of their context and suit them to your needs, then you complain about nobody wanting to talk with you anymore? Dude, grow the hell up. It's 'bout time.

Slayer Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Dual throttle is not really a game breaking issue. I'd venture a guess that 1 throttle works as a throttle for both engines as it alwyas did before these dual throttle sticks appeared on the market. From saitek website: "Dual throttle for finer control over twin engine jets, or lock the two throttles together for single engine fighters" Lock them together for this game until the issue is resolved, this thread is a waste of time and energy and ED will fix it sooner or later, they just aren't going to jump through hoops like a circus dog for you and release a patch for this today and another patch for another issue tomorrow and another one for for a different issue the following day...

RogueRunner Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I can confirm that the X-65F throttle works in FC2 when used as one axis to control both engines. It does not work if you try to control each engine individually. I have not tried it in BS since my DVD is packed away and we are moving shortly. Will try it out at the new house. I hope they fix this problem before the A10 is released as the engine start procedure pretty much make use of each axis on it's own. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
RogueRunner Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Tried to run BS without the DVD and it worked :D so I actually tested this. It does not work if you lock the two throttles together but if you unlock it and only use the left throttle the cyclic will work. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
RogueRunner Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 How's this for a conspiracy theory :music_whistling::music_whistling: The would not fix it till well after the Warthog and A10 module is released. :lol: With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
RogueRunner Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Devs, any possibility of an interim hot patch for the X-65F throttle issue before the A10 is released? I know you said it will work by then but I'm grounded in BS now till this is resolved which is very frustrating! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
power5 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 How are you grounded if you said the left will control the cyclic when not linked to the right throttle? M31> WOW dude. What is your BP if you get this worked up over a small bug with a video game? Not sure how many times you are using only one engine in a dual engine jet. If one engine is non functional, it does not matter if the throttle is being moved at the same time as the working engine. If one engine is off it again does not matter if the throttles are linked. Not sure how many times you have needed to unequally throttle the engines, but it seems like you must need to do it every flight. I do not have FC2, so not sure about the different combat situations where differential throttle control is necessary. Sounds more like complaining just to complain.

RogueRunner Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 How are you grounded if you said the left will control the cyclic when not linked to the right throttle? It's not working properly, weird things happen when I move the throttle assigned to the collective. No idea what causes it though. I've been moving both throttles together upto now and the one not assigned an axis might be interfering somehow. I will try just using the left throttle and see if it still happens. It stays a PITA though!!! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
power5 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 My g940 works fine. Not sure how the two brands are so different. Or it sounds like Saitek x65 is the only one different as just about every other setup works.

RodrigoMF_BR Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Any news for this issue with Saitek X-65F? My FC2 will arrive very soon too...
petrisi Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Same problem here I registered to the forums just to report that I have the same problem. X65F, rudder pedals and whole enchilada but I cannot use dual-throttle because of this problem. Works fine in LockOn but is not recognized in any way in FC2. Please fix it. Best regards, Petri Simolin
petrisi Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 After googling for a while I found this: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=128&t=17304 Post by Ala13_Kokakolo explains how to fix this situation (without side-effects) X65F dual throttle now working (as Slider1, not as Slider0 as it was previously recognized by applications)
