Cannot for the life of me get the Tarantula to behave
Ok so I have a full HOTAS setup. I have mapped Custom Axis 1 to an analog throttle and disabled flight assist, and confirmed that's working. So I have full control of the angle of the engines.
I also have the actual throttle mapped to a separate analog throttle, and that works amazingly when flying jets.
The problem is, the Tarantula seems to have a mind of its own with thrust.
If I put the wing angle pointing down and go full throttle I go up super quick and I can hear the engines going at full power. All exactly as expected.
HOWEVER! If I tilt the engines forward and leave the throttle at full, I hear the engines throttle down and I start quickly losing speed. So SOMETHING is automatically throttling the engines, but flight assist is off and the throttle input is at 100%.
What am I missing here? How do I get this thing to actually obey my commands!?
I feel like I'm fighting the auto pilot and the autopilot is winning.
I've tried flying it in flight assist mode so I know it CAN go forward. But then it becomes impossible to land because the autopilot doesn't seem to understand the concept of "stop." So I need control of the tilt to be able to fly this but when I take control of the tilt it decides I don't have control over the throttle?
I'm... just a little bit miffed. Can you tell? 😅
