Axix assignment

Post by gwplotts » Sun Mar 05, 2017 1:02 pm

Is there and axis assignment that can be set for the collective throttle. My hovercontrol B412 uses the mixture axis which I assign to a thumb-wheel on my x-52 pro,

Thanks - Jerry

I believe it is either the default prop pitch axis input in FSX or the mixture. More than likely the former.

Actually the Huey is different than previous Milviz helicopters in respect to the collective throttle. We solved the start-up problems associated with wind and other external factors by de-coupling the throttle from the prop pitch control so that we could manipulate it "behind the scenes" to bump it up automatically when it looks like the start sequence hangs or starts to die out.

That works perfectly - I don't think the Huey start ever fails - but it had the unintended side effect of not allowing a joystick axis to be assigned to the throttle control.

I'm pretty sure I have a solution to that, and we'll get it out in an SP.

There are several other annoyances and problems that need fixing too.

Plus one on the change to use an axis for throttle.

Thanks
Terry
