Title: Throttle
Post by: spas12 on August 07, 2008, 10:16:11 am

Hey, I had a quick question about the throttle system. Will it be a "press button and hold it to go" or can we use joystick throttle levers? Also, instead of the "press button and HOLD it" maybe a set speed system, where you press buttons/use throttle to do your speed and edit it with the buttons instead of holding down a key?

i'm pretty sure that the joystick throttle should work, unless you have an unsupported model

FS2 doies it, even XvT could do it.

The FS engine supports both an absolute and relative throttle axis, as well as using keys to jump to certain speeds directly.  You can combine all three if you like, each has certain advantages.
