Twin Engine Throttle Control

[CoxPiperCub95]

Hi all,

 

Recently returned to the game.

Decided to try out bombers.

I set up for a He-111 and can't seem to gain individual engine control. I've mapped buttons for selecting engine 1 and 2, plus all engines select. When selecting an individual engine and moving the throttle, it still moves the throttle for both engines. Same deal for pitch also.

Any thoughts as to why would be very welcome!

Hi CPC. I'm not near game right now but did you set the throttle, pitch, etc separately under engine one and engine two?

If I remember correctly it sound like you might need to go further down the settings to see the separate engines.

Hi Farley,

Thank you for your response. 

So I had throttle, pitch etc set separately under engine one and two, with a select engine one and select engine two key mapped separately alongside a select all/none engine key. I had Throttle on the same joystick axis for both. Having played around with this, I set a separate axis for engine two throttle and found that this splits both engines. It does however ignore which engine is currently selected. I recalled previously having both throttle controls on the same axis and being able to switch between each engine without it affecting the other engines state? Perhaps I'm making this up though, any more thoughts would be more than welcome!

Hi there...

 

There are several different 'Settings' for the engine controls.

When opening the 'settings' you'll find the 'global' ones first.

Thrust, mixture, ...

 

These are taken (and affected) when you have only 1 axis for each of these controls

and 'diverted' to the selected engines.

So the 'global' thrust will affect all selected engines.

In my case (having 2 different axes for thrust of 2 engines)

I did NOT bind this.

I've bound the 'thrust' of 'engine 1' and 'engine 2' to the axis located lower.in the settings.

The engines are 'numbered' from left to right (cockpit view), so engine 1 is the left one (twin engine plane) or the only one (single engine plane)

Engine 2 is the right one (twin engine planes) but the center one (Ju52 as a 3 engine plane)
