I'm OK with all the defaults for my Saitek AV8R-01, they all work fine as is, but I would like to reverse the throttle for my collective, meaning instead of pushing down to go up, I'd like to reverse it... how do i do that?

thx

in your game axis setup there is a tune section click the invert box. Works for me.

Good find. I got used to that set up in Longbow 2 and it seems intuitive to me.

Make sure you are in Axis Settings in the drop down, select the collective in your stick's column then the button should light up. It took me a minute to figure it out for my Saitek.

got it...thx...

while I'm here... trying to use the editor just to place a KA-50 on the flight line so I could practice start up, take off, and landing... I figured out how to place my unit on the map, selecting player... but it's always in air, i changed the alt to 0 which default to 21 after enter, and 0 for speed...but still flying, how do I have it on the ground ready for my start up procedure...

Really having a difficult time flying this thing, I hit the Trim (t) and then let go of the stick, it always leans to one side, I'm flying at at bank... but I'll figure it out once i get my practice in.

Look for the drop down that says turn point or turning point or something and set it to takeoff from runway to start with the engines running or from ramp to start cold & dark.

Do you have "type" set for "takeoff from parking" this will put you on the ramp with the engines off.

I edited to correct the screenshot. The important thing was to show the "Takeoff From Parking" setting.
