A number of us are having problems getting the throttle to work. Maybe if you give us your basic info, we can take a shot at figuring this out.

In particular, USB models seem to have more than their share of glitches.

Give us your stick type; USB or not; if not, what sound card, and anything else you think is important. I'm not a hardware expert...I'm just collecting the info!

Thanks much.

Andy

MS Sidewinder Precision Pro 2, USB, SBlive 1024. Thrust control is not working, works OK in FS2000 etc..

Not big deal to me, but I ain't hardcore

- Thrustmaster TopGun Afterburner USB
- Windows 2000 SP1

MS Sidewinder Pro and CH Throttle Pro

Win2k SP2
DirectX 8.0a
SBLive with WHQL certified drivers

programmed buttons work, but not the throttle. In Falcon 4.0 the Throttle only works when i apply the Win2k-workaround by eRazor (maybe this is usefull).

Hi Andy,
installed and running with no problems here ( problems start when I try and install patch).
System :
AMD 1 gig T-Bird
256 mb 133
Voodoo 4500
Suncom Talon/SFS throttle (gameport)
Soundblaster live player 1024
Gremlin

Hi, my joysticks a logitech wingman extreme usb, sound cards a sblive 1024.
Im using DX8, all on win ME.
Just wanna add that when Flanker was upgraded to 2.5, loads of people lost the use of their usb throttles, and needed a patch to bring it back.

Hi all.

Sigh.

No throttle for me either.
Win2k, DX8.1 (probably Beta), MS Sidewinder 3d pro...non USB. Not a peep out of the throttle. :-(

Throttle works for F-18, eFalcon, Flanker 2, and just about everything else.

Gavin

No problems here, all working fine

Logitech WIngman Interceptor (non USB) all working, the throttle is in the base of the stick, all button programmed with the joystick software.

Dot out

-.-

In Windows2000 I haven't got a throttle with either USB or joystick port using MS Sidewinder Pro.

In Win98 I have got a throttle.

DX8.0a on both systems.

Cheers,

Hi,
Win 98 se, DX8, TM FLCS,TQS w/digital chips
All is fine except that throttle movement is non-proportional. RPM jumps up quick at the bottom end and then changes slower and slower until after-burner

Logitech Extreme digital (3 axis)

Hi all.

I just went to Plan B: Install my Sidewinder at a 4 button joystick with throttle (rudder checked).

This is how I solve the coolie hat problem in SEF2k.

However, still no throttle.

I am purchasing a Suncom Throttle in the next week or so... and that hopefully will solve this.

Gavin

WinMe, DirectX 8.1

MS FF2 (usb) No Throttle
Saitek X36 (usb) Throttle works
CH Products Combatstick (usb) no throttle

Did a fresh install on a new HD, went from DX 7 to DX 8 to Dx 8.1, throttle was inop in every case.

Just got a USB MS Sidewinder Precision 2. Throttle does not work with Typhoon, but it DOES work with F22 TAW. This is using WinME under DX8.1 beta

With my USB Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D the throttle worked like a charm with Typhoon.

AMD 850 Classic system
WinME

MS PPro 2 (USB) + Dx8.

Throttle doesn't work.

Ian

Just a quick look at the replies...

Gameport throttles not doing too bad.

Logitech USB gear seems to work.

But MS USB gear doesn't.

Any ideas?

Andy

Flanker 2 had the same problem after 2.5 release. They fixed it with the 2.51 Beta 1 AFAIK. EECH even worse no Stick period. Even though EEAH works They basically left us Hi& Dry with this one. Thrustmaster Afterburners and M/S Pre Pro 2s are the main players with these problems. I own a TM AB myself. Hope they fix it here so I can try this game out. No Throttle no purchase here sorry.

TM Top Gun Afterburner USB
Sound card Hercules GTXP

Win98 & Win2k SP2

In Win98 & Win2K I've tried) DX 8.0a and DirectX 8.1

Throttle doesn't work at all in any case.

Throttle works fine in other games.
