Throttle fixer

[azflyboy]

Mr. Dowson,

I was wondering if there was any chance at all of a freeware app to fix the throttles on the MS sidewinder joysticks. The issue is that the throttles only read from 1-99% in FS, which causes issues in ground handling(many AC shake badly) and effects that should trigger not doing so. I know this is Fixable with FSUIPC, but having to pay $25 to fix the stick is irritating. Would it be possible to take just that part of the controls section and make it accessable in the unregistered FSUPIC?

thanks,

David Swindle

You are addressing this to the wrong person. If you want your stick fixed for free I suggest you contact the makers. If you want it calibrated better then try Windows, whose "Games Controller" is supposed to do such things.

Every user of FSUIPC wants something different from it. If I made each desirable part free, what would be left? It isn't a realistic nor sensible request I'm afraid.

You can of course download the SDK and write your own program to control the throttle, or you can try some of the other offerings for axis programming, like FS-Communicator.

Regards,

Pete
