Hi guys, I recently purchased a Saitek Yoke and Rudder Pedals.

Everything is working fine except for the throttle quadrant - I'm finding that when it is pushed all the way forward, the throttle ingame is only about 3/4 open. If I open it right up manually with the mouse, when I pull it back to where idle should be to round out it is about 1/4 open!

I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. It appears to be calibrated correctly in that it shows a full range of travel from idle right through to full with no further travel remaining on the computer screen, and I can't seem to find anywhere else to adjust it.

I imagine there might be something obvious that I'm missing, and I figured that here was the place to ask!

Regards, Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

Try adjusting the throttle sensitivity in the simulator and reduce the throttle Null Zone to zero. There may have been something there in the past that required a large Null Zone. Sometimes in the case of FS9 which I’m assuming you have? The control configuration gets lost somehow and you need to default your control settings exit out of the simulator and then start FS9 and re configure your throttle quadrant.

Let me know how you go with those two options.
Kind Regards,

Gavin Gillett

i confirm, had the same problem and followed the reply of Gavin. it works awesome now.

for some reason the fs9 would assign a deadzone + low sensitivity to the throttle. simply remove it and your good to go.

thanks.
