Full Throttle Movie Andy Lau Download
Chrystal Dueno
Hi all. Looking for some help, since the new cockpit update i cannot get my rudder pedals to work correctly, every time i start up in the a-10c the pedals throttle up the engines, i have checked the control options and in the axis assign only the rudders are selected also i use the red button on the left throttle stick for view centre but that does nothing, i can see the button moving on screen and in the options i can press the button and view centre is highlighted on the throttle. Any help would be great probably a simple fix but i cant see it for looking. Thanks andy
Hi juice i have checked in the options and removed any double binds and keyboard commands but my pedals stil throttle up but not down so i just spin round in a circle also when using the throttle it only work intermittently
the double binds you need to remove will be in the axis commands, where it sounds like one of your throttle axis commands has the pedals assigned as well as your throttle lever and possibly one of your joystick axes as well.
First, I'm currently flying a Cirrus TheJet. I have autopilot off (flight dir is set to off). I'm flying at about 8000 feet (though altitude doesn't seem to make any difference). The throttle is stuck on full. I can pull it down, but it immediately bounces back to the top. I attached a movie showing it happen (hopefully it's big enough to see). If I save the situation, restart X-Plane and load the situation, the problem goes away (at least temporarily).
Secondly, it seems like once I make a landing, next time I try to take off, the throttle sticks down to minimum. It's just like the movie above, but in reverse -- I can push the throttle up, but as soon as I let go, it bounces back down to the bottom. This hasn't just happened in the Cirrus -- I've had it happen in multiple planes. I've tried turning the plane completely off (everything) and firing it back up. I've tried opening a different plane. I've tried going to a new airport. The only way I've found to get out of this situation once it's started is to exit X-Plane and start over. Not the end of the world. but not ideal either.
I bet it is your auto throttle. I think it is mapped to the d key. After take off if you bump the auto throttle key it will try to accelerate you to the speed you have it set at. even if there is no selector for it x plane has a value for the speed you can set the auto throttle to. once you land it try to slow you down so the throttles close.
Exactly how auto-throttle gets switched on and off has been changing recently, but if I remember correctly it's independent of the flight director switch. The symptoms certainly sound like auto-throttle is engaged.
but to kick this AThr in the behind, if you look at the speed ap its set for 246 and if you look at his speed, which is 342, the ATHR would have been bringing the throttles down already. Have you checked the your faluires arent on. i think there is one option for stuck throttle.
Any other ideas? This really sucks. I just had two landings in a row ruined because the throttle got stuck too high (one time on full, one time about half way down) and I couldn't lower it any more. I can save the situation and come back in, but that isn't an idea solution...
I have a Logitech joystick, and if the throttle lever on it is not completely in the down/minimum position, the throttle for the plane will bump to the setting the joystick throttle is set to. The F1 and F2 keys on the keyboard will not over-ride the joystick lever. Something to check out... good luck with the troubleshooting.
Sounds like your throttle is just a little bit jittery. Generally speaking, X-Plane takes a control setting from whatever source it saw one from last. Joysticks send updates whenever a control position appears to change, and they send absolute position. So if a throttle is perfectly still, F1 and F2 will work because X-Plane is seeing no input from the joystick. But as soon as the joystick controller "sees" a change in throttle position, it sends X-Plane an update and X-Plane's throttle position gets yanked back to what the joystick controller says it is.
Last In First Out, that makes sense. Actually, my situation comes up whenever I do VTOL maneuvering, the throttle lever on the joystick base is easier to use for precise controlling of the VTOL thrusters. When I switch back to regular flight, I have to remember to set the lever to the down position. I guess I should have a separate throttle... and pedals.
The thing is, I'm not using a joystick -- I'm just flying with the trackpad on my laptop (crazy, I know, but that's me -- just haven't gotten around to picking up a joystick or yoke yet). Neither F1/F2 nor using the mouse on the throttle lever works. F1/F2 don't really do anything. I can move the throttle with the mouse, but as soon as I let go, it goes back to whatever position it was stuck in. There's a movie of this happening attached to the first post (and to be clear, it's not specific to that plane -- yesterday, I had it happen in both the stock Cessna 172 and a Gulfstream G550).
Maybe this is some weird bug related to flying with the trackpad/mouse, and I'm the only person here foolish enough to do that, so that's why I'm the only one seeing it? Maybe something is making it think it's getting throttle input from somewhere else? I don't usually have any USB devices attached when this is happening. Are there any other places it takes throttle input from? I looked through the joystick/keyboard settings and I didn't see anything. In any case, I don't think it's that I have hit a stray key or something -- once or twice, I could believe it, but it's happened enough now that that seems very unlikely...
Ah... a Mac laptop. You need to change a setting in your system preferences (keyboard section, probably) to turn on your Fn keys. By default they only control system functions like sound volume and screen brightness and aren't passed through to applications. This should make F1 and F2 work for operating the throttle.
I don't have an explanation for the throttle snapping back to min or max when you try to move it on screen. I can confirm from your video that you don't have auto-throttle engaged and you have no joystick connected, so the only remaining explanation is that X-Plane is seeing bogus F1 or F2 key presses when the keys are disabled. So I'm hoping this will go away when you enable the keys.
On the MacBook Pro, you can use F1/F2 as throttle with the standard configuration, but you have to hold down the "fn" key to do it. That's what I'd been doing, and it does control the throttle that way. However, that actually is what seems to have caused the "sticking" problem. By default, Fn-F1 and Fn-F2 do operate the throttle, but something about using it that way appears to be what causes it to get stuck. I'm not sure if it's an X-Plane problem, an OS problem or what. But switching the pref to allow using F1/F2 without Fn has made the problem go away for me. Unfortunately, I don't like having that setting on for normal use, so I end up having to switch it back and forth all the time, but it's not a big deal (and I could probably find or write a menubar item or something to toggle it if it gets too annoying).
Where im struggling is with the handset. Using the stick to go forward, back, right or left it works fine. However, If i push full throttle and then turn right or left (so stick goes top left or right corner) , it mixes both the channels and volienty turns the boat. Even though i have limits on the end points on the controller and limited throttle max on autopilot.
Here is a video showing the boat in manual mode. You can see the forward speed and turn speed are fine when run individually. When running at full throttle and then hard left or right, you will see the motor on the opposite side of the turn, get much faster. The way i understand it (and correct me if im wrong) is in manual mode when you go full throttle and turn right or left, it takes the full throttle and the full turn speeds and adds them together. This then gives you this doubling of the throttle on one of the motors. So unless anything can be done on the handset, i cant work out how to stop this doubling up.
I have 2 boats set up now that act in the identical way. In manual at full throttle and full steering the opposite motor goes twice as fast than expected. Its somehow mixing the full throttle and full steering together, giving 2x forward throttle on one side and 1x reverse throttle on the other. I have sent you a dm with the file and have the second boat bin if you want it.
If you don't go full throttle, don't expect to get the champagne bottles. On today's episode, Andy talks about why playing a victim online won't get you far in life, why nobody is going to give you handouts and why focusing on the small details will build crucial skills needed to be successful.
What with some miles/km rolling up on these lovelies, I thought it time for a dedicated throttle body thread. At 112,000 miles, I'm having a tough time getting the Sport to idle and balance. The lower shaft on the left no longer seals and the linkage is quite loose on the right. I have replacement rack to install, then noticed another hi-miler (Andy York's LeMans) has a replacement set ready to go . . .
Mine were replaced under warranty (entire rail with injectors and TPS) because they would drip. My excellent dealer told me they do that if you pressurize the system briefly and shut it off. And he was totally right! I was doing this continually: start up the Sport for someone (or just me! ) to listen to the idle and rap the throttle a few times.
Their method was to crab the spineframe to change the throttle body rail, which ain't too bad unless you have added the fussy center frame brace, as I have. Andy York mentioned he intends to loose the left side throttle body and slide the racks out and in. I would like to know more about that.
