Hi!

I have two of these:


Now the one I use for Il-2 has started malfunctioning. When they are at 100%=facing up the values jump from full to about half.
In Il-2 the problem shows up as harder power control as the power changes between 110-60% without touching the sticks!

I tried to recalibrate it with the windows default calibration program but it only helps for a short amount of time.

I still do have the warranty so I would not like to open them up, and as I live in finland and I bought them from eBay it's not cheap to send them back.

clear calibration utility might be of use to you?

be warned it clears ALL calibrations, so you will have to recalibrate all devices.
has worked for me in the past when things drift- but could be a sign of electronics failing in your throttle- partic the bit that it recalibrates for a while then drifts again

i'd try a warning email to seller to establish you have a problem and to gauge their likely response .

if all else fails the cheapest repair might be one of leo bodnars controllers- but that's a last resort

That is a interesting chase indeed!

I've got the Saitek X-65F and in Il-2 4.10m with the right throttle I've got only a 110% and 55% power.
The left throttle is working fine.

Another colleague got the very same problem!
Which I'm quite sure - it's not the calibration or software from Saitek - it might be 4.10m

I do use the throttle only with the Saitek software and programmed it another way, so I can use both throttle - but only
in 5% steps. It works fine for me so far. One throttle is pitch the other power....

We may have to wait a bit for TD to have a look!?

In fact it's not the problem of 4.10, it was in all versions of Il-2 I have (4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and ultrapack 2.01).

Oh Cnopicilin what are you like :roll:

Glad it all fixed now, happy flying :wink:

Nonononono it's not fixed! It just appears in all game versions, so it's not the patch's fault!

EDIT: omg 4500 posts... I should slow down

Thanks!

I just emailed them and I am waiting for the response.

I've heard that the pots used are trim pots which should not even be used in such things.

Hi Cnop,

Oh, I'm sorry! I never used my stick just with IL-2, only with the Saitek software.
With 4.10 its the first time and I realized it just then... :oops:
But its still very interesting - its with your throttle and with my X-65F...
I think, I still leave it in the Bug thread for 4.10.
At least 4.10 should support now two throttle or even more!?

And - congrats for your 4500 post! :lol:
