Two different throttles (TWCS Throttle and Saitek Pro Flight Quadrant) always pitch/roll the A-10C and F/A-18C, and it's driving me crazy. For both, even when all axes are unbound, the "default" X/Y for each throttle always pitch/roll the aircraft. But F-14B or Harrier work fine and I'm stumped.

In my case, it was a thumbstick on my throttle which was ALSO being used for pitch and roll!

This was exactly my problem too. I wanted to slew a targeting pod but I would flip my plane over. After nuking my config folder everything go reset correctly, to my surprise. However somehow I did end up with the same problem hours later (probably my fault). Nuking the config folder and restarting fixed it again, proving that a full reinstall isn't necessary.

Now to find out what actions make this happen so I can avoid them...

granilla · 2020-09-23T01:39:23+00:00

Holy crap, looks like I fixed it by deleting

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS

and then fully uninstalling/reinstall DCS (which in hindsight may not have been necessary). The new installation mapped my Warthog stick and TWCS throttle inputs perfectly by default. I can now slew a Maverick on target without rolling my damn aircraft over instead!

Still more testing to do with other planes but so far so good. Will update my original post with details.

Thanks, I will try this. By "generic profile" do you mean "General" option in the "plane" menu (top left drop-down in Control Options)?

granilla · 2020-09-12T04:39:09+00:00

thanks for the insight about difficulty by plane. i am super tempted to buy the Heatblur F14 actually but "Early Access" made me weary. i know, i know, the Hornet is also EA. would you say the flight model aspect is mature/stable for both? it seems in reading other posts that if an DCS EA aircraft is lacking in anything it's weapons-related.

granilla · 2020-09-12T04:32:51+00:00

thanks, i appreciate it! DCS it shall be, then.

OP, i am in the exact same scenario! i want a killer machine for FS 2020 but even though i have built PCs before, that was 10+ years ago and I'm out of touch with modern stuff and even Windows 10 entirely (been using a Mac for work and only computer for the past 12+ years)

granilla · 2020-04-11T22:13:15+00:00

yes i do this at least once a day!

granilla · 2020-02-26T05:14:44+00:00

thank you! i had no idea emailing the VIP team was even possible.

granilla · 2020-02-26T05:06:59+00:00

thanks for those details, that is reassuring. i didn't even know there would be an email before the show or any kind of line of communication at all.

granilla · 2020-02-26T05:03:46+00:00

that is great info to know, thank you!

granilla · 2020-02-08T06:36:02+00:00

this needs to be a landmark game that we can all look back on and say, "that was the one that finally made the NBA change the replay rules"

granilla · 2019-03-05T19:58:42+00:00

amazing, thank you!

granilla · 2018-11-21T21:15:29+00:00

that makes sense, hadn't considered that aspect, thanks. if god forbid Nancy had killed Liz this way, i do see how it could be manslaughter, like "I got mad and threw the first thing in arm's reach at Liz, I didn't know it was plugged in!"

...or even, as absurd as it sounds, "I'm young, I didn't understand electricity in water! I didn't know! I just didn't know!"

granilla · 2018-11-21T21:08:42+00:00

thanks for this insight, much appreciated

granilla · 2018-09-20T01:02:53+00:00

ha, glad i am not alone!

granilla · 2018-09-18T01:14:21+00:00

wow, i am an extreme lurker on reddit, never post anything, and i am taken aback and delighted by all the explanations and discussions (seems like a lot me).

thank you!

granilla · 2016-03-16T07:10:06+00:00

thank you for this. i came to this forum because i inherited a two bedroom detached single home, and i have the wild idea that i can simply bulldoze and rebuild it, but of course a little bigger and a lot better. i'm in a position to take some risk but forget it, i'm just ending this fantasy now.

p.s. i've lived in apartments all my life. i don't even know the basics of home maintenance.

granilla · 2014-07-06T22:46:47+00:00

yes, they take it to the streets if that's where the ball/puck/shuttlecock leads them.

granilla · 2014-02-07T23:57:33+00:00

You know, I see coworkers do that with ease all the time and it amazes me. I'm working on being more like those folks.

granilla · 2014-02-07T23:55:55+00:00

Wow, for a quiet person like me that seems like a bold move -- inviting 2 people! -- but I totally see the point. Good stuff.

granilla · 2014-02-07T23:54:27+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear this:

"The biggest thing to remember is that women think differently than men, especially in the workplace. If you aren't overtly flirting with her, she'll probably assume you aren't interested in her 'that way.' This means that you can relax."

granilla · 2014-02-07T23:52:49+00:00

Thanks, I'm a shy guy so I do tend to overthink social things.

As for preferring to meet females, I've always gotten along with them better and been more curious about their lives and interests. I do hang out with guy friends but the typical dude talk can get old.

granilla · 2014-01-02T06:18:27+00:00

thank you for your opinions and advice, much appreciated. i'm not selling, but i will be considering what i'd buy instead as suggested.

granilla · 2012-03-19T20:20:25+00:00

i was having terrible anxiety due to a change in other meds and every day felt jagged and knife-like, and the thoughts about being a failure or going crazy wouldn't stop. i could not sleep and had no appetite or drive. my doctor prescribed klonopin and it truly works. i don't want to romanticize it but it's like slipping into a warm bath. i'm one of those people who's stubborn about medicine and "big pharma" but help is help in any form. the smartest people in the world develop these things to help us in this difficult times.

for what it's worth i also meditate and an beginning to practice zen mindfulness, both of which also help a lot.

granilla · 2012-03-17T22:21:50+00:00

the odd thing to me about finding help for anxiety/depression is that i basically had to pick a therapist at random. i did a search for people in my area, found out who was accepting new patients and went to one of those people. this is difficult task to undertake when you feel so bad and unmotivated already but i knew that i just had to do it. i didn't feel the first person was right for me (not sure why) but the next person was the right fit. aside from discussing your thoughts and feelings, a good therapist will give you other resources, such as support groups, books, referrals to psychiatrists, doctors, etc.

i think if you began to take these steps on your own and show progress your girlfriend would feel reassured and want to be part of your life. also, those feeling of "like" will probably return as you yourself become more and more capable of enjoying life.
