I don’t know what your problem is. Yellow Ledbetter is totally understandable

Excuse me, but it’s pronounced GIF

So the throttle control is mapped correctly, and i didn’t have any other throttle related controls mapped to the joystick.

Granted it’s a cheap Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, but it works fine in Squadrons. When I check the mapping in the controller configuration it shows a nice gradual 0-100% throttle increase with no sudden changes as the throttle is increased. In-game the throttle jumps all over the place and arbitrarily lands on (usually) 0 or 100% throttle, seemingly at random.

In the words of Danny Glover

So i decided, since work finished early today, to see if an update fixes the controller.

First i get an Xbox games login requirement using my email, so i do that and get an error, and have to force the program closed via steam.

I try again and am greeted with the (expected) required update message

I’m now waiting for the fifteen GB update to download.

I’ll report back to let you know if my joystick works after this

E: yeah that took 20 minutes to download and another ten to install. Joystick throttle still doesn’t function correctly in flight, even though it maps correctly

I’ll check out Xplane. As i commented elsewhere, i just want to be able to sit down and fly for a bit. MSFS is amazing when it works, and is vexing the rest of the time

Dude I’m happy for you. I don’t play often, and when i do there’s always some giant update to slog through. As is typical for Microsoft, the updates are forced and at the most inconvenient time. My free time is rare and precious.

The last time i tried to play my joystick was borked in MSFS, but worked fine in Squadrons. I haven’t tried to play since

Yes the updates have a point, but the forced nature and size of them isn’t convenient and feels arbitrary. Likely others feel the same way I do

What I want is a game I can sit down and play on the rare occasions where I have a couple free hours. MSFS isn’t that game. I wish it was, because when i can play it, it’s amazing

Oh wow, I can’t wait to spend a shitload of money on it, only to wait two hours for it to update every time I want to play it. The best part is when one of those pointless updates breaks my joystick and makes the have game (goddammit gboard) unplayable.

I love that

Why are we getting weird and territorial about cheese and pasta?

That could be Mama. Nests are not the safest place for fledglings, so mom or dad will push them out of the nest, but they are not abandoned. (Predators can find a nest easier than an able-bodied fledgling).

I once rescued a baby chickadee from a neighborhood cat that was stalking it. The parents were going nuts in the tree above, so i set the little bugger in a yew bush and took the cat away and gave it treats. Everyone was happy that day

One of the major reasons we don’t have universal healthcare in the US is racism.

Specifically the AMA opposed Harry Truman’s proposed national health insurance because black people could then get treatment at any hospital, and white doctors would be forced to work with black patients.

It’s one of the reasons Medicare and Medicaid exist separately, and didn’t become law until the mid-sixties.

Ah found my family. Usually i watch shows at 17 or 19, but the whispery ones need to go up to 29, or even 31

I’d allow 51 just because it’s divisible by 17 and I think that’s neat (but my TV only goes up to 50)
