Ship not accelerating

Post by sling409 »

I'm having a problem with my ship not accelerating. The joystick seems to be working, and the throttle goes up when I use the default "A" key and the button I mapped to my controller (Gravis Eliminator), but the speed remains at 0. This occurs even when I activate autopilot. Any suggestions for what is happening or how to fix it? This occured in both 4.0.0 and the new patched version. Thanks

Had something similar ... you have a mouse wheel?

Until I spun it back to reduce throttle, it would not increase throttle.

sling409 is reporting that the throttle indicator in the MFD is going up and down, and also that the autopilot is unable to accelerate the ship, so it is probably not related to the mouse throttle setting. My guess is that it's an EMCON level issue.

That is correct, it is not a mouse issue. Even disabling the mouse did not change it. The throttle indicator does in fact indicate that I should be accelerating, but my speed stays at zero. I will fool around with the EMCON levels to see if this works. THank you for your quick replies.
