Have you seen this screen?(Thrustmaster Throttle Deadzone)

[JamesColeman47]

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

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

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?

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.
