Is there a line that can be added to one of the .cfg's to adjust how much a single keypress advances throttle?

Thanks

I had heard there is only really full, 1/2 and stop. However I have a strategic commander with buttons assigned as W and S and I've noticed that I'm able to throttle up and throttle down. I have to hold the button for a second or two before I'm at full (its probably not really a full second or two but its not a tap) I'm not sure if its a length of key press type thing but it should technically only be a single press to adjust

I know of no way to do this via game settings.

Here is my workaround:
Use a virtual joystick to control the throttle, and use keys to control the virtual stick. You can then control how quickly the virtual stick responds to key input.

Here is my code:
http://evilc.com/fil...ottle-state.ahk

Usage:

1) Download UJR from http://evilc.com/fil...hk/vjoy/ujr.zip and unzip it
2) Install AutoHotkey and vJoystick as per instructions from UJR (See readme.txt in UJR zip)
3) Place throttle-state.ahk in the same folder as ujr.ahk
4) Double click throttle-state.ahk to run. DO NOT run UJR at the same time
5) MAKE SURE that in the game settings W, S and X are not mapped to speed controls
6) In the game settings, double click the throttle entry in the JOYSTICKS (3rd) column and hit w or s

When you run the script, a GUI will pop up. It has one box with the sensitivity in there. Default is 2, but if you want it twice as sensitive, change it to 4...

SHORTCUTS:
w: Speed Up
s: Slow Down
x: Full Stop
Shift-w: Full Speed
Shift-s: Half Speed
Shift-x: Full speed Reverse

Awesome, Thank you!

Though what I've actually done is bound throttle to my mouse wheel, it's just too slow to be of much use, full stop to full throttle takes 5 or 6 spins of the wheel, each click of the wheel advances it only a small amount, and I was hoping for a way to advance it faster, but I think I can do it with your set up.

Edit the script and look for the following section:

; Key bindings
ShiftKey = Shift
ThrottleUpKey = w
ThrottleDownKey = s
FullStopKey = x

change this to:

; Key bindings
ShiftKey = Shift
ThrottleUpKey = WheelUp
ThrottleDownKey = WheelDown
FullStopKey = MButton

Then the script would work the same with mousewheel.
