Hey guys I'm having trouble with my throttle. Let me start by saying that I do have the latest drivers and that the joysticks are calibrated correctly. Okay so 8 out of 10 time here lately when I try to fly my throttle seems like it's glitching. I can have my throttle all the way forward and it will move back and forth really fast from full to idle without me touching the throttle lever. I have 2 joysticks and I get the same problem with both. I don't not have both joysticks plugged in at the same time. It is impossible to fly as the throttle will stay forward unless I hold down F4 and in that case the throttle will still visibly continue to move back and forth. This has been a problem in the past as well on a different computer all together. Let me add that each of my joysticks that I might use has it's own setup another words when I have one plugged in there is no residual keys mapped to my other joystick. Any ideas?

My recommendations are to:

1. Recalibrate the joystick
2. Purchase the payware FSUIPC and assign your joystick to it, it does great job of suppressing the unwanted throttle movements

Calibration isn't the problem as I've calibrated and re calibrated many times. On the calibration screen all is well, throttle setting doesn't move unless I move it. The Payware of FSUIPC might be a solution. I'll look into it.
