I’ve recently bought a new Saitek ST290 joystick but cannot get the throttle to work on most of my flight sims.
Bizarrely, it functions correctly on FS 2004, but not at all on IL-2, IL-2 Forgotten Battles or CFS 2.
I have the patches for the IL-2 stuff and downloaded the joystick driver from Saitek.
I’ve also calibrated the joystick countless times through the gaming options in the control panel-this also shows the throttle is responding. :confused:
Also reloaded the flight sims.
Unfortunately, I’ve binned my previous joystick. 🙁
Any ideas before a trip down to PC World beckons?
Regards,
Paul

Only thing i can think of is to adjust the sliders so it is more responsive. You may have already tried that ? If not it could be a problem with the joystick. I once had one that would not make a left turn as a sensor had worn out inside.

NO worries! Happy flying!

Many thanks for your reply, Chris.
I’ve got the throttle setting to work on the joystick by going to the HOTAS control panel in IL-2 and altering the power setting from
“-u slider axis” to “-z-axis”.
To be honest, I’ve never given much notice to this panel before, so your suggestion to reconfigure the functions has done the trick. 🙂
Thanks again!

Paul

Have you enabled the joystick in IL2?
Also wrt CFS, have you reconfigured it use use the same functions/keystrokes as FS ?
Cheers
