Hi there,
my joystick (Logitech Extreme 3DPro) throttle control doesn't work properly any more in FSX. Power can be set to between approx. 20 and 60%, sometimes it won't even do that. Joystick calibration works OK, RAW data look good. Everything works normal in FS2002.
Anyone got some clues???
Tia,
Robin <>< |

I calibrated the stick more than once. Calibration rotines show the stick is calibrated OK. The raw data displayed vary between 0 and 255. The stick works fine in FS2002. This ist *NOT* the problem! There seems to be a misfunction in the way FSX reads the raw data. I can adjust the three axes roll pitch and yaw, but I can't adjust the sensibility of the throttle control. |

FSX is the receiver of data... it is a passive device.
i.e. the worst that can happen is GIGO |

Have you gone into your SETTINGS and checked to make sure you have the Throttle(s) set for joystck? There are four Throttles. My joystick has two seperate throttles that I have to assign in the SETTINGS area of FSX for it to know I'm using the jopystick throttles and not the keyboard throttles. SO check in your SETTINGS area and ensure you have the joystick throttles assigned accordingly. |

your type of joystick...
LOGITECH 3D
has a reputation for problems.
try unistalling the program for the stick that you installed with the CD that came in the package. then reinstall. or if worse comes to worst buy a new stick

He says it worksd in 2002 so I'm not sure its the stick (altho stranger things have happened with Logitech) I'm interested to see if the Settings for the joystick are set-up. I know when I switch between single double and four engine, I tend to forget to go in and change the throttle quadrant settings. |

OK, Thanks for the suggestions. I looked for the settings that jellrod mentioned. OK, I'm trying to translate this, as I am using a German version, but I hope you get the idea. In the main menu screen I chose "Settings" on the left and "Controls..." in the "Additional settings" area to the right. The "Controller" itself is activated. Controller-Type says "Logitech Extreme 3D". Below, I have the three axes with their respective sensitivity sliders. These are all flat left.
The third tab is named steering axes. Here again, the Controller Type is "Logitech Extreme 3D". Flight modus is "normal". The 10th setting ("power axis" between "flaps" and "propeller" is mapped to the throttle control on my joystick. I deleted this, reassigned it. This correct.
So I guess, I am stuck. I will try to uninstall the joystick and re-install ist. I will post results here. And I will talk to my minister of finance (my wife) about getting a new joystick. ;- This might be a good pretext... |

Hi folks,
just wanted to thank everyone who tried to help. I'm not quite sure, what helped in the end. Uninstalling the joystick didn't work, because I didn't install it. So I unplugged it and removed it from my hardware manager. In addition I unchecked the "use joystick" in the FSX settings. Replugging the joystick, re-enabling it in FSX, resetting to default and re-assigning my F-keys finally worked. My throttle is working again. Can't tell what was the problem, or how I solved it. But I can tell you: I won't touch a thing about that joystick as long as it's working...
And, jellrod, I guess you have to practice your German a little bit before you can really use it.
So, thanks again everyone,
Robin <>< |

i never did know of logitech ever giving any type of problems with drivers or anything like that, they always seem to work on everything!
and i didn't see any improvement in the updated driver, didn't need it, worked fine with out it. |

First go to "Settings" then "Controls" then click "calibrate". After you do that click "Properties". A request to calibrate your joystick will pop up. Once it does click accept and then do all of the tests. |

it is important to set the Throttle AXIS Sensitivity to max. than and only than FSX is recognizing the whole axis.
