Throttle Friction vs. L/R step up vs. UP

[mooshim]

For some of us with rather generic HOTAS...AA Refueling requires sensitivity adjustment not only in axes of stick--but also in throttle.

 

(nod to Strongharm for axes adjustments @ http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69965)

 

For Throttle...options available are the following:

 

Throttle Both Up

Throttle Both Down

 

Throttle Left Up Step

Throttle Left Down Step

 

Throttle Left Up

Throttle Left Down

 

Throttle Right Up Step

Throttle Right Down Step

 

Throttle Right Up

Throttle Right Down

 

Throttle Friction Increase

Throttle Friction Decrease

 

Since there is a difference between Throttle L/R Up/Dn and Throttle L/R Up/Dn Step

 

I wonder why an option like *"Throttle Both Up/Dn Step" doesn't exist. --enabling sim pilot to make finer inputs.

 

It makes me think that perhaps there's something missing in my understanding of Throttle Friction Inc/Dec. Perhaps those options would help me to refine my inputs. --Even on the fly, as it were, as these are adjustable by my left knee in cockpit (!). --This would be good news.

 

It's a little confusing for a small brain--since it's virtual friction--and I wonder how friction is manifest in the sim. :huh:

 

I have only one slider for Throttle on my Logitech Extreme 3D. I wonder if someone could help me get my head around this.

 

Cheers,
