Check that the value goes from 0 to 1 when your joy-stick throttle is moved full range.
Thanks. That really helps as I now have discovered my Saitek Cyborg EVO Force always wants to start with 50% throttle - even in control panel calibration. If I open the calibration throttle will be at 50% - move the throttle or even just wiggle the joystick and it auto calibrates and realizes throttle is at zero. I found this through the H and Browse Internal properties. When I started Flightgear I had 50% throttle. So in addition to the Parking Brake property I was told about I tried adding a property for /controls/engines/engine/throttle=0 and /controls/engines/engine/throttle[0]=0 but still when I would start Flightgear, the HUD and Properties would show 50% throttle. Wiggle the joystick - it auto calibrates and throttle drops to zero as it should be and then I can accelerate from there after removing the parking brake. Dang joystick - I found on their forums the throttle is normal - cannot imagine why until it auto calibrates it starts at 50% but I also found out it has (sometimes for some users) a left rudder issue as well. Thanks both of you for the assistance. Got me in the right direction and I have a work around. bk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
