[88948] Improved: Airplane thrust and brakes can now be applied at the same time.
[88947] New: Full joystick axis can be mapped by mapping both positive and negative part of the same axis (map negative first to use the axis inverted) (https://dev-heaven.net/issues/3546)

This sounds great - grabbing my joystick now ...

Is anyone else having a graphical issue with this build? Its like dynamic contrast but worse, and painfully obvious at night.
Basically when you move the brightness/contrast "dips". I have checked all drivers/settings and they are fine, I also reverted back to 1.60 and there is no problem. (Sorry if this is a bit vague, i have never posted in the beta thread)

try older beta, also make sure you dont have some very old beta data relict

I rolled backed to 88850 and the problem is still there, i dont know if i am doing this correctly though do i need to uninstall the old beta, or can it be overwritten (which is what i did )

EDIT: Ok so i uninstalled beta, how can i tell that i dont have old beta stuff, my ArmA folder is quite messy

Don't ever "uninstall" the beta. The uninstaller is messy ... just delete the "beta" folder in "\Arma2\expansion\" like any other mod.

Aggh i did uninstall the beta, im going to delete the folder in Arma2/exp and try an earlier beta. Thanks for the tip.


EDIT: Problem solved, thanks again.

The new throttle feature works well with my G940 setup - thanks for this - I never thought this would get fixed!! Now all we need is separate plane/helicopter control options so I can have a collective!

@ Ten Bensons
If you get problems with the vanilla install because of the uninstaller (it sometimes deletes original pbos in the vanilla install) try to reapply the 1.60 full patch first and retest before you re-install the whole game ... That should normally get rid of most problems.

Jedra, did you try to set collective to the right throttle and thrust to the left? With different orientation of the axis? Have to fix my throttle wiring before I can test that setup ...


Edit: Oops, I guess that's TKOH ...
