Sliders go inactive

[:FI:Sneaky]

having some issues with throttle (MS Sidewinder U axis) and pitch (Saitek Evo U axis) and rad +/- controls ( buttons-Wingman attack 2).

Seems to be more to it than lag as toggling auto pilot will briefly restore them.

Elevator trim on wing man U axis is not affected, so I'm guessing it's more than just my cumbersome array of sticks.

Get something simple out of the way first: Do you have 'anthropomorphic control' enabled?

Get something simple out of the way first: Do you have 'anthropomorphic control' enabled?
Just turned it off... seems to be no loss of control *so far..

Running the downloaded version here so doing it all very much "seat of the pants" (maybe I should get the hard copy with booklet while UBI have their offer on). I'd assumed anthropomorphic was to enable mouse in cockpit, but apparently not.

so what exactly does it do?

[JG52Uther]

No, anthropomorphic is supposed to make things more 'realistic' as you can only do so many things at once, as you only have 2 hands IRL.Most people I believe have it turned off, because whilst a nice idea, it seems to be bugged.
If you had it on, hopefully all your problems will be solved with it off. :)

[:FI:Sneaky]

Thanks.

some .. maybe not all.

Odd that it ran great for the first few days, then things started getting sluggish . was beginning to think a re-install was in order.
