Have you seen this screen?(Thrustmaster Throttle Deadzone)
 

I'm trying to deal with the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X Throttle deadzone problem that plagues many people and got a hold of the attached picture. This would solve a lot of my problems including the rudder sensitivity on realistic. Does anyone know how to get to this screen?

post patch contoller setting/layout

Thanks for the reply.
 

Thanks for the reply.

This must not be an automatic patch. I'll will search the forums to see if I can find any installation information.

??
wop or bop?

No luck on forum
 

I'm on PS3 Birds of Prey.

I searched the forum and didn't find any help. It says that the patch should auto install if I am connected to the Playstation Network, which I am.

I guess I'll have to send the game manufacturer a support request.

ou go:
Profile - Options - Controls - Custom layout - Settings and there you are :-P:-P

woot ??
if u play bop, the patch will be installed automatically. and then u can use the new controller settings.

More Problems
 

THANKS!!!!!!!

Aha! If I select the Thrustmaster 2 layout I cannot access the screen. I have to select custom layout. Now the only trouble is my throttle isn't working properly. It is not position sensitive, it works like the PS3 controller not a flight stick. I have tried the Controls screen but cannot find a setting to help.

Hmmmm
My TM Hotas was faulty on the X-axis on the stick. Didnt take input and had to return it for a replacement. The replacement works fine. You might have the same problem.

Thanks.

This is actually my second stick. My first one broke. Both have the throttle deadspot problem.

But I believe this is a programing issue. When using the custom setup instead of the thrustmaster 2, the throttle works like the PS3 controller not like a joystick throttle. If I can find a way to use the custom controller setup and get the throttle working, I have it made.

Someone else had the same problem a month or so ago. He got told there is a setting to swich on and that fixed it for him. Looking at that photo could it be the "absolute throttle" switch it to yes?

Resolution to Thrustmaster Throttle Deadspot
 

Sweet! Thank you very much.

That works. It takes a while to setup because you have to reprogram most every switch using the Controls Screen , then you have go to the Settings Screen and set the "absolute throttle" switch it to yes and get set the dead Zone to 0. But it is way worth it. I fact, think it may be worth it to take this route for most serious "pilots". It allows additional control that you cannot get with settings other than the custom layout setting. I'm really looking forward to adjusting the rudder for realistic mode.

If anyone else has trouble, post on this thread and I should get an email. I will give more detailed instructions if someone needs me to. (A quick note, you can use two buttons for selecting the pause menu.)

I'm very excited. I'm going on line right now to try it out.

reverse throttle yes
absolute throttle yes tada you have it now

Sure wish Microsoft would let us adjust the deadzone with xbox flightsticks :evil:

which one are you using? saitek?

Yeah, Saitek Av8r (hate that silly spelling LoL)

Hi James,

Can you detail exactly what settings worked for you with the custom layout for your thrustmaster? I have been playing around with settings to try to fix my deadzone, but I'm not really making it better. Different, yes, but not better. I'm not sure what "nonlinearity" does vs. the deadzone settings?

Thanks,

I got a Thrustmaster HOTAS PS3 for Xmas . Used it a few times with setting #1 I like it but takes a differnt style of play I think. Simulator mode will be great with it I belive . That being said any one with experince with this nice stick that can offer any hints tips problems will have my graitutude and posibly others . Thanks in andvance .

And Merry Christmas and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all :-):grin:;):-)

Merry Christmas Joed70 and congrats with the TM hotas.
I got the same stick for X-mas last year and stowed away in january where it has been since :rolleyes:

As you say, it takes a different style of play. I never got used to the long range throttle handle, or the twisting of the hand wrist for rudder control.
I felt the whole stick was large and never found a real comfortable seating position with it, neither on my lap nor on a table in front.
I am stuck with the ps3 pad with default layout for realistic and layout nbr 3 for sim.

I hope you will come to like it better then what I did.
Enjoy and see you in the skies.
