horseback Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Just installed 2.6.2(?) this afternoon, and tried to run the Engine Startup Training Mission. As stated above, the throttle is not working. It works for a few seconds at the start, before you press the Spacebar, but after that, it won't budge--not with the axis controller (I tried reassigning, and it gave me the same results for my CH Pro Throttle, CH Throttle Quadrant and the Saitek Throttle Quadrant (a guy can't have too many controller axes!)), not with the mouse, and not with the assigned keyboard keys. All of my other assigned axes appear to work fine; it's just the throttle. I have tried 1) shutting down the program and re-starting my computer, 2) re-assigning the axis to three different controllers, 3) Tuning the axis, and 4) cursing and throwing things. None worked, but 4) did relieve a bit of tension. I did notice that the tuning GUI got a bit wonky; no matter what I did, if the controller handle was all the way forward, the axis position indicators, both actual and raw, would be all the way in the bottom corner, regardless of whether I inverted the axis or not. No matter what controller or even if I reset the axis direction using the CH Manager software, if the controller was all the way forwards, the tuning GUI shows it at minimum, and when it is all the way back, the GUI shows it at maximum. Also, I noted that at the start of the Engine Startup module, that all of the controls assigned to an axis were at mid-position; this hadn't happened before. Tried other Training Missions, with the same results; once the player is supposed to manipulate the throttle, it won't budge; not in Taxiing, and not in either Takeoff mission. First, am I the only one with this problem? Second, any ideas? Skip the one involving a beer and taking some time before trying again-- I'm right in the middle of that (actually, about three Stellas deep). cheers horseback [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Here's your new Mustangs boys--you can learn to fly 'em on the way to the target!"

horseback Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 Changed the throttle axis to a slider in the Tuning GUI and now it works. This may be an issue of cause and effect, or it may be that my computer was still digesting a large Windows update. In any case, I'm back up and running and botching my landings as before... cheers horseback [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Here's your new Mustangs boys--you can learn to fly 'em on the way to the target!"
