The little thruster on my My t1600 isn't working in the first few mm

[Ball Race 1]

I am talking about the small thruster on the joystick. ARMA 3 doesn't do anything when I move the first few mm of the joystick form 0% to 10% or so. The helicopter starts to increase lift when the thruster is 3-5 mm above bottom position.

Perhaps a silly question, but have you looked at the options and reduced the deadzones to zero?

 

Also, the answer to the question of buying extra gear to play Arma is always yes.

its standard of the deadzone levers are full left. i have that too. so its 0?

arma 3  settings are confusing

What about them is confusing?

 

Default A3 deadzones are set to 10% if I remember right.

 

Make sure both controller control panel deadzones and A3 game controller deadzones are set to 0.

Check if there's still controller noise (output jiggling around even if you're not moving anything) happening, if yes increase the deadzone in A3 only.

When no more controller noise happens play around with the sensitivity setting until you're happy.

Deadzone is on 0.

There is no controller noise....

Problem not solved. 😞

Well do you get any controller output when moving the slider for the first few mm?

How's the movement looking when going from 0-100%, is it smooth or rough?

Check the system control for output while moving the slider.

If it's not doing anything it might well be a faulty potentiometer (either wear and tear or dust) in the slider.
