Released: Aerosoft F-16

Sorry but the Navy and Marine Corps figured out flying a LONG time before the Air Force did. The F16 is ass backwards, I mean, who puts the stick on the starboard side panel of a cockpit? It's supposed to go on the deck between the pilots feet......ah......DUH!! The Air Force must have done a study using chimps and they liked it there. :costumes: Jokes aside......is anyone else having the same problem with their throttle controller?

Actually, the Air Force was called the Army Air Corps before they became separated and divorced. :costumes: The Army bought the first military airplane from the Wright Bros. SO, we were flying first!

Seriously, I haven't had any problems with the plane except for FSX crashing. And it does that with any plane.

Are you using a separate throttle or one built into your joystick? You could be getting noise out of the potentiometer which is causing the throttle osculation.

Oh so you want to split hairs..........:d I though we were talking about the Air Force not the Army Air Corps........?:costumes: I'm using a CH Products throttle, the one that is modeled after the F-16's. I've calibrated it numerous times with the same result.....it keeps twitching?
 
I am assuming MM that this is not happening with other aircraft. Are you running the CH Throttles through the FSX controls, CH's software or FSUIPC?

I have the same throttle and I run it directly through FSUIPC, bypassing FSX controls. I have them turned off in FSX. I have heard of times when two applets are trying to control the same input, you get just what you are describing.

I tried running the CH software and had nothing but problems. i gave up on it and just use FSUIPC. It seems solid as a rock.

Just a thought, I recently had a similar problem but with the rudder axis on the pro pedals showing the axis moving /drifting up or down at times (as seen in the test/calibration applet), whether the pedals were in the neutral position or fully deflected left or right the indicator would just drift out of position (couldn't figure out till I looked at the calibration screen why I was having so much difficulty with rudder control on the ground or in the air). The position of the marker in the calibration screen would just drift out of position. It might "reset" things if you turn off the CPU, then unplug the Pro Throttle. Boot up (still without the throttle plugged in). Now replug the throttle back in after your back to the desktop and let windows set it up again. If you use Control Manager software it might run you through the found new device dialogs again for the throttle. There is also the CH Delete utility that clears all traces of CH drivers so you can start out fresh and replug all, but that should clear all other CH drivers as well, and maybe all CH devices need to be unplugged when you run the delete utility. Refer the the on line help manual for the proper procedure to do this. Worked for me.

Hey Warrant, maybe you can join us here:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=2435

and you'll have the chance to talk to Matthijs in person about your requests for the F-16. The last few years he was present on both days at the Aerosoft stand.

Hello Gregory - air to air refueling is operated by the knob which is marked in the picture.

Thank you. I knew where the button is. I just can't get any fuel when using it. I slow down to below 250KIAS and stay above 5,000' AGL but I don't get any extra fuel.
 
I don't like aerosoft's store at all. I just got back from a business trip, and I've been waiting for this one, but I just can't buy it for a different reason every single time. I'm off to try for the 6th time, and if the store is still being stupid, I'll swear off buying it. If it ain't user friendly, it ain't getting my money; period.

Someone may be able to help if you say what these reasons are!
 
I got it! it looks great and doesn't seem horrible on FPS, my only problem now is that I can't get the HUD on. I've got everything else up so far.

You know, I've been working on this plane for over three year now with a lot of betatesting but I didn't knew this option existed. As far as I know we weren't asked of testing this. But I'll put this in the F-16 beta forum to see if it can be fixed.
