James67 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I just installed A-10 on my PC, and was in the training section going thru the engine start up when told to advance the left throttle, which i attempted to do using the mouse and it wouldn't move or be highlighted. I then tried the keyboard commands and again nothing, I have a Thrustmaster TFlight Hostas X and tried that and no go. I then switched to quick mission and using all 3 still nothing. All the other flight controls were working. I have an Intel Quadcore with 4 gigs of ram and am running Windows 7 64 bit OS. I have not pactched it to 1.2.0 yet. Thanks:huh:
Echo38 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 The mouse cursor cannot be used to move throttles or stick, nor to push any of the buttons or switches on the throttles or stick. Those functions, alone, must be bound. Have you configured your joystick in the controls tab of the options page? Also, you should patch to 1.2.0. Lots of problems fixed in that one.
James67 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 I'm trying to figure out the mapping now, thanks fro the info.
WildBillKelsoe Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 just press rAlt + home, then rCtrl + home. be careful to avoid touching throttle on HOTAS (hardware) without applying some brakes. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Echo38 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 If your joystick throttle slider is correctly mapped, you must have it at minimum in order to start your engines--and if you don't select the synchronized controls option in the options menu, you'll need to slide your slider up and then all the way down after the mission starts, in order for the sim to recognize where it is. (This may help even if you did select synch'ed controls.) So, assuming everything is bound rightly, be sure that the sim realizes that your throttle slider is at minimum by sliding it all the way up and then down, and then try the keyboard commands for advancing the throttle over the "hump." Moving your throttle slider up won't do it. I believe RightAlt + Home is the default, as WildBill indicated, but you may want to check it in the options to be sure. A good way to search for the function for a key is to press that key or key combination, while in the "All" category of the controls. So, go to controls, select All for category, and hit RAlt+Home and see what it's bound to.
