Speed of my ship

Post by SBS » Sun, 26. Apr 09, 10:50

Hello,
my ship is regulating the speed automatically to 30 or 50 m/s.
I can use "Back", Tab", "y" and "x" to slow down or speed up but after a few seconds the speed will be regulated to 30 or 50 m/s back.
The speed-regulation on the Joystick is not working since this situation.
What should I change or what Keys should I use to use the regulation from the Joystick again. :?
Please can you help me. It is not possible to play with this unwanted speed regulation.
Tanks a lot for help!

Are you sure that you don't have any ships set to follow your player ship, as that can cause your ship to throttle back to the speed of that ship?

Hi,
I checked the "Autopilot" and it is off.
But maybe I pushed some keys and made so some settings, I don't know.

This could be a symptom of a broken joystick throttle. Go into Control Panel -> Game Controllers, choose the joystick and hit Properties and choose the Test tab. Then waggle the throttle and see if the throttle slider is working properly.

If the throttle slider doesn't respond, then try unplugging the joystick and plugging it in again, and if that fails try recalibrating it using the Settings tab.

If the throttle does work then I am out of ideas!

Hi,
thanks for the good ideas.
You are right. After testing it the throttle is not working :(
OK, thanks a lot for the help and I will look for a new Joystick.
Bye
