Would appreciate any insight on the following as at this moment it has me beat....
Had trouble stopping my aircraft on the tarmac following landing and wasted some time looking at the braking side of things..
Eventually found that the throttle is only working over about 3/4 of its range, i.e. not fully opening or closing. As a result full "pullback" on
the throttle still leaves too many revs which overpowers the brakes.
Have spent many hours fiddling with the settings, calibration etc. I still run XP so its through "settings / control panel / Game controls."
Everything displays correctly there, i.e. the throttle shows the normal full up and down range, but on going back into the flight situation it still
won't give the full range.
I have checked this problem on about 5 planes, all display the same fault.
I have run my FS9 and find no problem there so my thoughts that the Joystick itself may be failing don't seem to apply. It would appear to be
a software, rather than hardware problem...?
I have assigned two spare buttons on the joystick to give full throttle and cut the throttle off but this is not a satisfactory fix. I have also tried other
USB ports....no difference.
