Odd throttle behavior

Featured Replies

I've been using AO for many years. It's a great program. I have a question regarding the behavior of one of two throttle levers in msfs that occasionally fluctuates from 0 to 100 and back to O randomly. It simply appears to have a mind of its own, despite the axis behavior in AO looking normal and moving normally.  I have tried all types of axis configurations in AO, checked for double mapping, etc, etc. Nothing seem to correct the issue. The only way to "fix" this issue is to map this one axis through the controls options in msfs. The axis don't appear to get crossed in AO; everything looks normal except for the erratic behavior in the aircraft. It's not just the animation of the lever, since the actual engine is affected. 

Can you provide some clue as what is the difference between that one axis mapped in the sim and the same on one mapped with AO. When it happens, it happens only with one throttle lever. I am stumped. I've calibrated the device and it all looks normal. 

I am happy to provide additional info, including a video if it helps.

Thank you.

Upon further examination, I suspect that the cause is due to conflicting controllers. I have a custom throttle quadrant with two controllers. One controls all the levers and buttons. The other controls only the reverse levers as analog axis. Axis and Oh's often confuses these axis despite using the isolate option. There are no visual cues other than one of the throttles become jittery and erratic.

So far, a flight with the reverse axis deleted appears to keep the throttle very steady. We'll see.
