When i read your comment i just had to register to these forums.
You DO NOT have analog throttle on airplanes. You DO have analog throttle in choppers and when hovering the F35B. Try the Harrier for example and see for your self. I hardly believe BIS would announce a throttle fix for 1.3 patch if there wasn't a problem....
Btw, i have the exact stick as you. And i spend 95% of my Arma2 time flying, so i know the throttle needs fixing.
