Impact of open Dialog Field on Collective Inputs

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I use Saitek X-55 + Saitek pedals + TrackIR for flying helicopters in A3.

Problem 1: Whenever a dialog box opens my helicopter immediately starts dropping hard; as if I would start holding "z" (i.e. "collective down"). Despite my x55 throttle staying exactly where it is, often at full throttle. For example, a friend was kind enough to send me one of his VAS loadouts while I was in low flight. Dialog box opens to accept and save the loadout. The helicopter immediately lost height and slammed into the ground within seconds. Same happens if I open "text chat", "menu" and, most importantly, even when I open the dialog box to change TFAR radio channels.

Problem 2: A separate issue is that the game seems to read "collective up" as soon as I tab out. Assume I am sitting with throttle at idle in my helo on the ground. If I tab out and tab back in, the helo will have taken off and I'll be at full collective up. I will have to phsycally move my X-55 collective to 100% adn then back to 0% to start dropping altitude. Similarly, if I am sitting in a helicopter with turned off engines and tab out, the engines will have turned on after tabbing back into the game.

Any ideas? Thanks! Tek
