First I have a question. I have the force 3d pro and all works well except for the throttle. It does not want to work no matter what I do.But everything else on the stick works just fine. Its not a big deal cuz I will be getting a flight yoke and throttles scince p3d has shown me what a flight sim should be. I have loved flying all my life and use to work in the field when I was in the navy.I have to say you guys have put it out of the ball park.This has to be the best.And to allow us to contribute is really awesome.Anyway I just wanted to put my thoughts out there and find an answer to my question..

Again

Thanks for all the work you guys do

We have noticed an issue with the default null zone/sensitifvity settings that we are looking into. One possible workaround, is to use the Advanced tab to set the null zone and sensitivity for each axis to appropriate values, and while still displaying the Advanced tab, click the Accept button.

Same problem here, with my Logitech Extreme 3D pro. Every switch/button works fine except the throttle. What also seems to be strange, when starting the engine is running, OK so far, but the throttle is always at 100%.



Playing with null zone/sensitivity didn't help.
Thanks

I am currently using a trial version of this software, with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and have also encountered the throttle issue. I noticed that while the pitch and roll axises were labeled "x" and "Y" the yaw was labeled axis 6, so I "added a new" axis for the throttle and it came up axis 7. I accepted that and now the throttle works normally. Hope this helps.

I did the same since I had the same problem but my power is only about 60-70% of max. Tough on T/O. The answer so far is to press throttle in aircraft.

I have a Logitech Force 3D Pro (Force Feedback FF):



In MS FSX the joystick works very well but I always had the issue that when autopilot is engaged my flight stick keeps moving and make the aircraft loose control. When using AP I had to disable joystick completely for cruise flight.



The questions are:



Does PREPAR3D support force feedback? And if so, this problem I have with constant moving stick when in autopilot is solved?



Thank you and excellent soft :)

Worked for me too. Thanks

I use "sensitivity 2" and null zone at 120 ".

Calibrate the joystick Logithec Force 3D Pro and I like this setup.
