Mixture & Pitch axis issues.

[MadTommy]

I'm getting some weird results trying to setup my HOTAS for engine management.

I'm using an X52pro and have assigned the rotaries on the throttle for mixture & prop pitch.

These work fine with the Hurricane, i can fine adjust both from 0 to 100%.

In the all the Spitfires the mixture is either 100% or 0%, nothing in-between. In the one of the Spitfires the Pitch also is either 0 or 100% and nothing between.

Anyone else having similar issues? Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Make sure you set the small sliders in the "axis" window from 0% to 100%.. I had this issue too. If the minimum is set to 0. and the maximum to 5% travel. Then you throttle will go from 0 - 100% ingame when you slide your hotas beyond 5%.

try that

thanks mate.. i did check that, as i had that problem with my throttle. I don't think it is that, as i checked it and it works fine in the Hurricane, but i'll check again.

I have the same issue in the 109 too.

MadTommy, I have a X45 and the exact same problem. I checked my axis limits in the controls options, and that's all set fine, but while in the spitfire my prop pitch and mixture only move to 0 or 100%. I'm guessing something is bugging there, maybe in the way the game reads the rotary - although it reads it well in options screen. I hope we find out how to fix that. I might try to set some keyboard or button input to set it smoothly instead meanwhile.

I may be wrong but I thought the spitfire Ia prop pitch was a variable pitch, i.e. there were just 2 settings ....coarse and fine? and then the Mk IIa eventually was fitted with a constant speed unit.

Can you try the Hurricane.. as that is works fine for me. Its the Spit & 109 that seem bugged.

Yeah.. that is true, but the fuel mix is the issue.
