Title: Need help...Throttle Axis?
Post by: Droz on February 09, 2005, 11:56:10 pm

Ic an't find the Throttle Axis anywhere.  Someone help me out?

On a side note, this is GREAT!  I've love FS2 since it first came out, and I just found out about this!  All of this is awesome.  Now just need some help to find my throttle axis setting and I'm good to go :).

I've literally looked everywhere and I can't find it.

:welcome:

There is no throttle axis.  You set your speed digitally... 0%, 33%, 67%, and 100% of thrust, or incrementing in small amounts.  And you can use afterburners.

Play the training missions to learn how it works. :)

Yes there is:  options -- control config -- ship -- absolute throttle axis  click on it and move your throttle

Yeah, I've been using the throttle axis since I got my stick.  Depending on how your throttle is set up, you would use either absolute (physical slider or knob) or relative (mouse-wheel or similar) to do what you're wanting.

Dang...you mean you've never used your stick's throttle, Goob?  I couldn't survive for one mission without it. :)

I'm just used to the keyboard throttle controls.  I'm usually only going full speed or full stop anyway, so I don't need fine-grained control. :)

Hi guys,

sorry for posting in this old thread, but it seems better to me than writing a new one.

And at 1st: Sorry for my bad English...

So i got a problem, i cannot activate the throttle axis of my Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick.
I haven't found an option in the game menues, so could anybody please tell me what is meant with this?

Is this an option for the command line?

Thanx for help!

Regards,

Chris

PS:
SCP looks absolutely awesome!
I can't believe what those guys have made of the old Freespace2 engine!
Keep on working, Freespace 4 ever!
 :D

Run the game press F2 and go to config ship. You can set all the keys from there.

Nonono, you go into the game options menu (accessible by either pressing F2 or clicking the command guy on the front centre of the main hall), click the "control config" icon and from there click the "ship" icon. "Absolute throttle" should be listed on the menu there somewhere. Simply double click it and move your throttle. That should bind it and you should be good to go.

double click the "absolute throttle axis" then twiddle your throttle a tad.

How do you go about setting it to the mouse wheel anyway? I select the relative throttle and spin the wheel a bit, but nothing happens.

I don't know that it works, and knowing MS mouse drivers, it probably doesn't.  My point was that if your throttle was a knob without endpoints, you'd use relative, while if it only goes so far in either direction (like mine) you'd use absolute.

And didn't I post that like 8 months ago?
