| | Throttle response in FSX Acceleration and CFS3 On my new computer running Vista Ultimate I have Installed; TM Cougar Hotas with Rudders and toe brakes, Janes F/A 18 FSX acceleration and CFS3.The installation of all programs went fine no problems. The Cougar Hotas runs fine in Janes with good throttle response. The Foxy software, with the Cougar shows the throttle is working and steady. The problem is that the throttle setting is stuck at approx 43% and will not follow the throttle movements. When the throttles is moved the RPM of the engine will increase for a few seconds and the slowly start returning to the resting point. The same thing when the throttle is slowed the RPm drops an then increases. This makes the planes unflyable nad I have used the trike and the Cessna as test planes. Also tried the F/A 18 with same problem. I have tried Uninstalling the Cougar three times same result. Uninstalled FSX and CFS3 and reloaded FSX with the same result. Even when F1 and F4 are used to increase or lower the throttle it will not stay there. Looking into the Direct X 10 analyser I see the Cougar is on USB controller ID= 0 and the Interlink Elite Controller ID=1. In Foxy the Analyser for all of the axis movements reports the Joystick ID=1. All of the programmable switch setting work as programmed using several profiles. I tried locking the throttle at one point and it did stop all movement while locked. Are the USB controller ID's the same as the Joystick Id's? Does anyone have any suggestions on what can be checked or changed. -- Fryman Intel Core 2 Extreme, CPU Q6850 @ 3.00 4 cpu's ~ 3.7Ghz, 4M ram, Nvivia GeForce 8800 GTX Dual SLI, Creative SB-X-Fi sound card, Vista Ultimate 32 bit. |

Tried to play without the throtle, using k/board for engine commands, and the same crap is happening. Would appreciate some MS input here ^^ |

I am not sure what I did but it now works. I have reinstalled CFS3 and still have the same problem. If you get your controls to work are trying to get some special functions to work it may be a case where there is no setup in the key board file. This has been the case for C/F 18 carrier launches where you have to program some of the functions like tail hook, lower launch bar etc. |
