I was excited to try out the new planes on Totalize, so I spawned in at the German airfield and hopped into the Fw190. The plane didn't budge. I could fire the weapons, go into gun-sights, go into rear chase cam, open the map, and work the rudder and other controls (all mapped to my joystick), but the throttle lever wouldn't work. I had to use my backup speed control buttons on the keyboard to fly (until I remapped the accelerate and decelerate commands to normal push buttons my joystick).
I have a Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick and apparently something is blocking the throttle lever from being recognized by BF2. The throttle used to work perfectly well before I updated to BF2 1.5 and FH2.2. Did one of those break it? And more importantly, is there a way to get this functionality back? It's very difficult to fly without my adjustable throttle....
