Joystick woes..

[Bazza]

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.

Barry , you make the fourth in as many weeks with controller problems , I had Nick stopping thru mention i need to calibrate the yoke which i did , result everything working fine used it for a couple of days .. Nick headed south and i carried on doing autogening - few days later , Nick stopped by on his return trip for another couple of days .. i had a Window update and a few fickle things happen .. got it sorted Nick wanted to see other types .... strange the calibration was out , only the brakes and the repeat switch's disconnected for some reason , no reason or understanding why it happen .... it just went funky chicken .. i clean out many aircraft and other stuff reducing the sim down to 100GB s and i seems to have leveled out no issues .

It was good it happened in front of a witness because people say Oh bull pucky -that dose not happen but it did . I wonder if this may also be the cause , large operating sim and the regular updates causing the recent spat of strife .
