Dillinja 10 Posted November 3, 2011 Hi all... Im running through the training on startup and shutdown procedures for some reason i cant find "off engines" i thought it would be in the same place as when u idle throttle or set to full (below starter button,well is in this heli)...its proper buggin me that i cant find it please can someone enlighten me :)...also i cant find invert controller axis, when i say that i mean the freelook with a xbox controller its push up look up which i need the other way, yeah i can invert mouse axis to whats right for me but not controller :(...i know i know using a xbox controller stinks but im working on it :)... Its been said before but....Killer work by BI studios once again im loving TOH !...i fly 3D RC helis so this is nice and relaxing :).. well untill u want to land perfectly then it becomes and blend of finesse sweat and spatial awareness ! Many Thanks DAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD500Enthusiast 10 Posted November 3, 2011 roll throttle to idle then to off then turn battery off and engage rotor brakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citnarf 10 Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I'm having the exact same problem as the OP, when i look at the throttle while its on full, i get the option to set it to idle, however after that my only other option is to turn it back onto full and i get no off option. Other than that though the game seems absolutely awesome fun to play, great work BI! Edit: I'm using the steam version, if that makes a difference.

Bluehammer 10 Posted November 3, 2011 I had the same problem too, but I think the reason is if you use the throttle via free-look it always wants to step up, so going from off to idle to full is fine, but trying to go the other way it goes from full to idle then back to full. I got around it by using the keyboard commands to take it down from idle to off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dillinja 10 Posted November 3, 2011 Im glad...well kinda glad someone else is having the same problem...thing is i tryed to set or use key commands "right Ctrl + E" is on, off, and automatic but if fails training soon as i stroke keys :(. Im on the non steam version if that helps haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fboes 10 Posted November 3, 2011 I noticed I have to use the mouse wheel to select the proper action while looking at the throttle. This also helps with helicopters with two engines for the starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluehammer 10 Posted November 3, 2011 I didn't realise you could use the mouse. Thanks for that tip fboes, very helpful. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check the keys, but I thought controlling the throttle used the 'Insert, Home, Page Up' to increase throttle and 'Delete, End and Page Down' to decrease it? I think you have to hold Ctrl or Alt as well, but I can't remember which. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dillinja 10 Posted November 3, 2011 the mouse wheel option only lets me "manual trim, automatic off, distance between u and the ground and i think autohover..but what lords of the gay use that hahaha....well i do actually when i jus wunna be nosey ;0... i hope we get more info in this thread and thanks for all info up until now many thanks guys...
