#Throttle axis maxes out at 50%

When using a throttle axis, moving the full range of the throttle axis only allows for a maximum input of 50% throttle
Turning off "Use throttle negative region" causes for no input to be detected.

I am using an X-56 Rhino HOTAS system.

it sounds like your axis may be inverted, and outputting a range from 0 to -1? The calibration menu might give you some hints as to why this is the case

Yes, the X-56 outputs an inverted signal.

#

Though it never has been an issue before in any other game. Just pressing the invert-axis in controls would fix it

#

and when it has been an issue, it would still output 100%

west oasis
#

have you adjusted these settings? They should be able to convert the output to 0-1

Still only getting 50%

west oasis
#

white is the processed input

shrewd jungle
#

I am unsure if it is operator error, or a quirk of the throttle causing the calibration to be confused

west oasis
#

can you disable "Use negative throttle region" and invert the controller in the calibration screen?

#

if you're able to get outputs from 0 to 1, that should work

thanks, this doesn't look like correct behavior

#

I'll investigate

shrewd jungle
#

Till then, I will go back to using V-Joy and HID hide.

#

Can confirm throttle works when used through V-Joy

It has mysteriously fixed itself by removing it as detectable in the HID device list and then restarting the game then re-assigning it. I can confirm it was not just because of a restart of the game since previous attempts at restarting the game had no effect.

good to hear it's working for now. I want to investigate why a 0 to -1 axis wasn't able to be converted into 0 to 1 or -1 to 1 output, but will wait until after the hotfix to ensure I don't break anything

If you need additional information, let me know

shrewd jungle
#

The reset fix seems to be temporary.

Can confirm it does this on the TM warthog also with using only 50 percent of the axis no matter what I do

Having the same trouble. Would love a perm fix for this. As I only really want to play the game on the X-56. Just spent 3 hours on my only day off this week trying to fix the thing.

when calibrating try having your throttle at the center of range in the beginning

#

worked instantly for me

Yes, the X-56 outputs an inverted signal.
This is really common, back in the early days of the PC the joystick's upper range would change as it heated up in use, so it was common to set 0 as max so at least max throttle would stay consistent

Interesting. So the fix works for the X56 but not the Warthog.

Just to be clear, you have it calibrated correctly in the control settings to output 0 to 1? And it still outputs in-game to 50%?
After that, you go into the control bindings tool and remove the device from the detected devices list along the top, and then use the assign controller to reassign it? You shouldn't have to do any more than that.

Correct

#

I even bought a brand new warthog cuz mine was getting old

#

like this yes? then removed and readded to assigned controllers still only travels 50 percent
