Arguably the finest fighter aircraft of World War II.

Throttle gate

Post by WarHorse47 »

Is there a suggested method for setting the throttle gate deadzone?

I'm not sure if mine is set correct or not as I occasionally break the gate wire without trying.

I think it's on the shift-3 menu? Was in the Mustang familiarization video..in sim watch the throttle as you move it and set it to you need it IIRC. Have to look it up to sure though

I know where to adjust it and how, but I don't know if it needs more adjusting or not. :roll:

Here's why. I took up the Military Mustang earlier today and noticed I was down on RPMs. In the process of checking out the engine I thought that maybe my throttle setting got screwed up, so I put the a/c on autopilot and proceeded to experiment with the throttle gate - and looking at my max rpms at 100% throttle.

Later I realized that I had somehow turned off the hydraulic pump, but by then I had changed my throttle settings and couldn't remember the default. I had to load the Civilian Mustang and write down the settings, eventually resetting them with the Military version (93% throttle over 5% deadzone, like taking your blood pressure :mrgreen: ).

Anyways, with those settings I was able to get 60 in mg. w/o breaking the gate. I'll live with that and a lesson learned.

But my question remains.

I may have to check my mp against the gate...mine is set at 89% over 10% deadzone so that I have to physically max the throttle to pop the gate...gives me an excuse to take the mustang up :D

My throttle gate is set to 95% of my throttle. However i dont really bother if i break the gate or not i simply set the mp and rpm and fly. I believe that breaking the gate gives you the option for more power but that doesnt mean you have to us it.
