inverted throttle

[Angry_Kitten]

I set everything up with the controls,  but the throttle is inverted.  Pull it back downwards to 0% and it goes to full power as matched by the little throttle indicator icon on the bottom left corner.

What specific aircraft are you talking about?

 

In any case, please know that back in the 1930s and 1940s, not all planes presented the same orientation of the throttle lever to increase or decrease the thrust.

 

1) In a German Bf 109 = backwards is 0% thrust, forwards is 100% thrust 

 

2) In a British Spitfire = backwards is 0% thrust, forwards is 100% thrust (or 110% thrust if the pilot uses his boost cut-out to allow the throttle lever goes a bit further)

 

3) In a French D.520 = forwards is 0% thrust, backwards is 100% thrust

 

4) Etc.

You can invert the throttle axis by selecting "inverted" (on the right side) in the control settings.

I think that's your problem.

 

Or are you referring to that in Italian and French planes the throttle (inside the cockpit) moves in reverse? "The indicator at the bottom left corner" instead works normally, as in all other planes.

[Angry_Kitten]

the throttle is reversed. 

 

I have it set so that when the throttle slider is in the full down, its 0% and when fully up its 100%. 

 

the GAME is taking the input in reverse, but the CONTROLS page, the "reverse" box is NOT checked

The throttle being picked up as inverted might have to do with how (which direction) you were moving the throttle.

If it's inverted, just check the invert option.

Im wondering if its a bad HOTAS unit. 

 

in Great Battles, i rigged the eject  button to the little orange button.   SOME days i have to hit the button 10 times to get the pilot to jump, other times just ONCE does it. 

 

MOST of the time the "open canopy" command will not work at german aircraft UNTIL i jit "eject".

 

   I know there is an air flow/speed restriction for the canopy, but when your going at stall speed....

Maybe... bad or too old...

The Dover series is more realistic when it comes to do a parachute jump:

 

1) You need to open your canopy first (Spitfires, Hurricanes, Dewoitines...). There's a key binding in the controls options page for that (or a mouse click on the appropriate lever, crank handle, etc.).

 

2) Some aircraft may need you jettison the canopy (Bf 109s, Beaufighters...). There's another key binding in the controls options page for that (or a mouse click on the appropriate lever).

 

3) Then... yes, now you jump our of your aircraft (no mouse click for that, only a key binding is allowed: go to the controls options page and assign your choice).

 

4) Even if you manage to jump on time... you may end up completely flattened on the ground (parachute failures are modelled in "Cliffs of Dover").

 

Have fun...

its not old at all, bought it last april 2020.  new inventory too. 

 

 

But its odd with the eject, some have lengthy button pushing, others dont. some want the button for "open canopy" first, others do NOTHING until the eject button.

Anyway, you need to set your bindings on your HOTAS (axes and keys), and then all the remaining bindings on your keyboard (keys only).

I'm not sure if I get it, Pocketshaver, are you talking about "Cliffs of Dover"?

 

 

By the way, what's your HOTAS model?

this is standard great battles stalingrad, etc NOT dover

 

ive already done the binding, its just that SOME planes have worked fine with the default key bindings in the system at startup. MEANING i start battle of stalingrad, choose to fly a mustang and the bindings work fine from the get go. OTHER planes i dont hardly ever use have a 40% chance of me having to open the key binding setup file mid game, and remap using the same keys listed on it already. 

 

Others will need me to do the open canopy command BEFORE the eject code, others wont open the canopy UNTIL i do the eject botton code FIRST... then oftentimes ill need to hit the eject button like a twitchy kid riding the trigger button.

 

label says thrustmaster twcs    it comes with the standard t16000M stick in box

Dude,

 let's clarify one thing, in which game do you want to set the controls?
