I'm using a Logitech Wingman Force 3D (good stick) and I can't get my engine power to go below 28 percent or above 88 percent with the joystick throttle. This means I can't land!!! I can't get my plane to go slower than about 105 knots at a 0 AoA. Any comments, suggestions?

Check the Windows 9x Game Controller calibration under the Control Panel. Make sure all is calibrated well. If not done, install/reinstall the joystick drivers for Windows and then the Logitech software.

Thank you for that helpful tip. I reinstalled the joystick drivers, taking a little more time and effort to calibrate, and the stick throttle now runs the engine from 10 to 100 (I presume the game does not allow settings below 10). I was able to land, after one more perfunctory crash Thanks!!

Thank you for your support
