Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle Device Keeps Firing. [Q&A CUI-3]

[Drex]

This has happened since day one ( NO patches )

When the throttle is plugged in, my laser fire's automatically, when
the throttle is unplugged, the firing stops.

Can anyone else, that has this throttle, confirm the problem as well ?

This does happen to me also. I suppose you could reprogram the stick or, as I do, change the assignment in controllers (this is difficult as the stick is 'read' as continually having 'left trigger' pressed)

[D.O.S.]

I have no problems with my HOTAS you need to setup the stick in game like this

In Settings for Controller / Joystick:
Under Steering
- Yaw = Left Stick (Horizontal)
- Pitch = Left Stick (Vertical)
- Throttle = Left Trigger
Under Weapons II
- Fire Weapon = Button 1
- Fire Missile = Button 2

you will need to experament with inverted axis not sure of the settings right now prob need inverted
Yaw
Pitch
Throttle

make sure the throttle is centered in its dead zone when trying to walk round the stations or it will be very choppy when trying to look around

This is just a slightly different symptom of the issue at Q&A Sticky, CUI #3.

Note that the game treats the throttle as a normal stick axis and not a throttle axis. This means that the 0 point is with the throttle set mid-way, and not full aft as you would expect.

If you do not have your throttle centered when you go to set your joystick commands, the game will see the throttle 'deflected' and will assign whatever command you are editing to the throttle axis.

Also, if you do not have your throttle centered, it will be very difficult to get the mouse to respond, as any axis input causes the mouse to disappear.

If you hunt for the main joystick and controller thread I explain how to setup the TM Warthog. The problem is the game trying to treat a complex HOTAS as though its a gamepad so you get conflicts on the input buttons & axis.
