Weird throttle problem

[AviationJoe]

Hello friends.

I am new to this forum and Im from Iceland so my englis is maybe not very good but i hope you understand me:)

 

Well im been playing alot of sims since i got my first computer, Lock on, Faclon:AF and all of oleg maddoz games, never had any problem but few days ago when i went to play Falcon:AF i had a little problem that kind of ruins my joy of playing that game.

When im up in the air i find mysel unable to control my trottle, it describes in that up in the air i push the trottle forward for full power, get the RPM to top but the hmm i dont know the englis word for it "the tube in the rear of the F-16 were the big flame comes out" it want open up completly so im not getting all the power i am asking for.

I went to setting and tryed to change something there, but then when i went back in the air i found a new problem, now the "tube" is opening up completly but like in situasion when i, landing the bird, im not getting the RPM down to zero like when i want to slow down to flare just upon "touch ground".

Does anyone here know what my problem is?

 

I hope you understand me and can help me out.

but save flying and thank you all for this wonderful forum.

Greetings... This sounds like a problem with the Joystick not being able to use it's full range of motion... does the Throttle work okay with the Keyboard + and - ? If it does then the problem is with the throttle section of the Joystick.

Hi Johann.

 

the behaviour of the jet engine in my SIM looks like this:

 

Throttle IDLE means about 70 % RPM, NOZZLE then 20 %

at about 80 % RPM NOZZLE is zero

from 101 to 105 % RPM NOZZLE moves from 0 to 100 %

( afterburner is on )

 

That is what the gauges show me.

 

Your question sounds a little bit difficultly but again :

 

engine idle is 70 % RPM, below this it won't run

 

if you cannot reach the throttle range from 70 to 105 % RPM

then I think the problem is a wrong calibration of your joystick.

 

Try to calibrate it in your Operating System and in Falcon AF.

Watch the point ( green line ) of the afterburner. Is it set too

late or early ??

 

That is all I can say
