e+1+2

Postby beefhole » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:35 pm

When it doesn't work, (eg. you hit it and you can still only move one throttle) is there any other way to resynchronise the throttles other than reloading the plane?

I know how to do it properly, but about 25% of the time it just doesn't work. Thanks guys.

I've always experienced the same problem Beefy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm beginning to think its purely down to luck! ;D

You first hit E

Then, after releasing E, you quickly hit 1 or 2 for individual engine control.

For syncronized control, hit both numbers at the same time after releasing E

I hope that made things clear.

I assigned a button on my joystick (Saitek X-45). That seems to get it almost 100% of the time.

Katahu, I tried to make it very clear in my first post that I know how to do it-it doesn't always work.

Good to hear I'm not the only one Charlie ;D

Great idea Matt, I'll try it out ;)

This is a very common problem, and is usually caused by a badly programmed gauge.
This problem also appears as failing to open a second exit (Shift-E 2) or no turning after a pushback (Shift-P 1/2).

If you download my archive rcbse-10.zip from avsim.com or flightsim.com: this gives a full description of the 'why', and provides a small gauge that you can add to a panel.cfg to work around this problem.
