Not really where I want to ask this, but as new users aren't allowed to create new threads for some silly reason I suppose I'll throw it on here. Maybe someone's encountered this problem before.
Using the regular flight model I have no issues with my joystick. Everything works just fine and I've no trouble at all flying any of the choppers. My throttle is a z-axis integrated into the joystick that goes from 100 to -100 as I raise it. No idea why it starts at 100 and goes down as I bring it up, but whatever.. it's always worked fine in any game I've played (including Arma 3). Without changing anything else, the second I change to the advanced model my throttle goes all wonky. Sometimes it seems like it's either completely on or completely off, depending on whether it's above or below 50%. Needless to say, flying a helicopter like that is impossible. Other times it seems to get "stuck", it'll go up to something like 50% and just stick there no matter what I do with the throttle. On other occasions I've even had my throttle sitting at zero.. started up the engine.. and had my helicopter take off as though I was around 50% throttle... and just keep going up and up. Finally, there are also times when it seems to respond super sluggishly. I'll raise the throttle and the game won't acknowledge that I did so for 5 seconds or so, and the same with lowering it.
The last thing I've noticed is that under the regular flight model when I enter a helicopter and raise the throttle a little bit it automatically starts up the engine. Under the advanced model I have to manually open the menu up, scroll to start engine, and press space to get the rotors to rev up. I can't fathom why this is.
Anyone got any ideas as to what might be going on? I'd really like to give this advanced model a whirl, but everything is just impossible to fly when the throttle just has a mind of its own like this.
