i have an old saitek st290 pro, and I've been using it on SP for a while, but the throttle doesn't work that well, full throttle is about 70 or 80 percent and nothing is like 11 percent. can someone help me?

    Go into the Controls, you should see a "calibrate" button for your joystick. Click that, and select the Throttle axis. Put your physical joystick lever to 0, the white arrow should be exactly in the middle. If its not, press the calibrate button and it will tell you how to calibrate your lever. Now, put it to full throttle, and adjust the sensitivity slider so that at full throttle the white arrow just reaches the end of the scale

    randomusername was joking.
    The throttle axis just need reconfiguring. You can do it in the SimplePlanes config, it will ask you to move your axis and then you can adjust the min and max values

    I once mended my Saitek yoke with a paperclip.
