[BUG] Flight Stick Throttle Control Doesn't Have Full Power

Recommended Posts

So I ran into an issue a while ago, where I'd be trying to use my flight stick (First my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Now my Thrustmaster HOTAS X) in a jet or helicopter, but when I pushed my throttle all the way forward, nothing would happen. After extensive Google searches on this issue, I saw that most people had a problem with the throttle being split between thrust and brake, but nothing about my specific issue, which brings me here.

 

At first, I would only have to hold the Shift key for a few seconds to get the plane going, after which it was fine, but now as soon as I let go of Shift, I just slow down. I think that some power is being applied by the throttle, but it never goes to 100% (or when I hear that whoosh sound that you get when flying normally at full throttle). I checked in the controller settings, played with deadzones, sensitivity, and all that but nothing so far has worked. And the reading on that screen registers the throttle at 100, it's just that the game doesn't. Any help at all with this issue will be appreciated, because my forte is flying (and I'm not good at anything else in the game).

I've been having a similar problem when I'm on the ground, where I have to use the throttle key when on the ground but once I take off I can use the throttle, but it never it's kinda weird using the throttle in ArmA 3 due to the fact that it is very slow to gain in speed and almost never gets to the max speed. Otherwise I'd love to use my flight controls with it . I also have a Hotas X, and the only thing I'm good at in ArmA 3 is flying.

I've had the issue for around a year and half now since I got my Thrustmaster A10 HOTAS, no real way around it mate. When it happens just press shift and get on with it really.
