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

I don’t know why you were downvoted because those are pure facts
(i assume you wish for Whitaker to be fornicated, not the OP)
Oh I ain’t dead, I’m just real depressed
If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.
It’s rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands
Ray Belli is amazing and I’ve failed to learn so many things from his podcast because as soon as he starts speaking my mind wanders. It’s like the audio version of reading the same paragraph four times because my brain decides to think about something else while my eyes move across the page
Wow, amazing they had $200,000 to leave in a bag for a juror
The two families own immense tracts of land
Detective 1: Whaddya got, Johnson?
Detective 2: Weeeeelllllll, looks like Mr.Paxton was killed by a bunch of pigs
Detective 1: What!? But Ken Paxton was a huge law and order politician! He fully supported law enforcement! Why, the only union to support him was the police union. Why in the world would any cop, let alone several, want to kill him?
Detective 2: …
Detective 1: …
Detective 2: Jesus Murphy, it was wild hogs
Like punching someone in the dark!
J/K, I have a pavlovian response to the phrase “victimless crime”
Makes sense. Thank you. I’m aware of what is sometimes a vast gulf between what is right and what is legal. I’m glad to see the principle of battery and the law are aligned in this case
So I wondered what the charges were and the penalties for giving OTC medication to minors without parental consent. It appears that the FDA considers melatonin a food supplement, not a drug. (Disclaimer, this is from 5 minutes searching online, I have no real knowledge beyond that). After reading the article, and lacking any other information, it seems like the investigation was spurred by the melatonin dosing, but the illegal part was operating an unlicensed daycare with more than 3 children in a private home. (Again, I’m very uninformed and guessing/extrapolating)
I’m actually not sure if it’s illegal to give melatonin to minors without guardian consent. Unethical certainly, but if it’s not a controlled substance or medication regulated by the FDA like OTC meds, is it illegal? There a some state laws prohibiting some supplements being given to minors. For example, NY has outlawed sales of dietary supplements to minors. If the supplement can be proved to harm a child, that’s clearly illegal. It looks like there’s not enough research to prove that’s the case with melatonin though.
If anyone has a better understanding of these things, I’d love to hear it. I’m really curious about this now
The unwritten rule
There were quite a lot of unwritten rules prior to 2016
