Hunting Throttle in the 109F?

[TP-Bloomster]

Hi,

 

I am having a problem with the 109 and only the 109, I have a Saitek x52 pro and ch rudder pedals, there are no funny configs and everythign is setup OK in BOS. The problem I am having is when I move the throttle an inch forward in the 109F (Does not happen in the Yak, Lag, il2) the throttle goes full forward and then hunts back, this results in the mode going emergency, combat, cruise. The problem is that the engine is ruined within 5 minutes of flying and adjusting the throttle. I can literally sit and watch the throttle moving forward and backward in the 109 without actually moving it physically.

 

Help!!

Run 1.2 ata for climb and cruise, also did you calibrate your throttle?

the throttle quadrant on the x52 is a duel for multi engine, correct?  If so, de-couple and see which side acts as the primary for throttle and gives you full motion then set it.  You can recouple after the side is set.  I think it was the left side for my x65f but cant recall exactly.  I had the same problem.

something wrong with your throttle if that happens.
reinstall X-52 drivers? check the calibration?

nono, wolf, only one throttle...

I've noticed this too but on several other aircraft. I'm flying Normal so I'm assuming what's happening is the game is managing the engine power for me to prevent engine damage while simultaneously preventing players flying in Normal mode from getting more than realistic performance out of the aircraft.

I am flying in Expert mode, the point about selecting 1.2 would be great if the throttle did not slide forward to 100% then back, then jiggy around before finally settling. its not my throttle as i do not see any spikes in the setup program and I don't have this issue with any other game, it has to be some setting or something I am missing.

been doing some testing and it is apparent on all planes, I have full throttle range in the config and seems smooth but the game only seems to recognise about 1 - 2 " of throttle movement, if i move from idle to 50% the engine will go to 100% then throttle back to 50%. Something very odd going on!

Feels like a double input.

I am officially an idiot!

 

I had cruise control enabled in options, I mistakenly thought this allowed me to select Autolevel, its not, its 'Cruise control' Doh, sorry everyone for wasting your time!

I'm glad it was a checkbox and not your throttle unit!
