Joystick throttle problem
 
All right, I have an irritating though minor problem with my joystick throttle. I have a Saitek Evo, very durable and works very well. Lately however, the throttle does not want to go to 0% but fluctuates between 0 up to 4% and back. Calibrating doesn't work...I can't set deadzones for just the throttle either. Now 100% (or 110% in Il-2 have that and FS 2002) work just fine, as do the other axes so I am stumped here guys?? :88)

Sounds like some dirt on the electrical track to me, try blasting some compressed air in a can through a little straw into the thing. You might have to take it to bits to do it. Sometimes a (VERY VERY SMALL) squirt of WD-40 or similar can sort that out too, but I would regard that as a last resort.

:D Chock

Before that, try changing the joystick to another USB port if you have one free. That helps sometimes. ;)
