      When using a joystick with a throttle, you can have it anywhere between -100% and 100%. Full Reverse or Full Forward, basically. A lot of the more advanced techniques may call for you to only be at 50% or 80%, etc, throttle.

      I haven't come across anything like that, but I've never needed one. The people to ask would be Chris_Redfield, metallica, FlyJetAndKill...

          Well, I don't think he has a joystick. He's looking for a program to map an individual button to an individual throttle ratio.

            in some flight sims 1-10 are engines speeds..

            1 might be %10
            2 might be %20

              80% throttle for F35B for me means I can engage the MiG-29 in a more tighter turn radius, while keeping the agility. Pushing the afterburner instantly boosts the speed up by 30%, instantly. So yeah, playing with speed and afterburners definitely has certain tactical value.

              As for the OP, no. No such method. However, I use DXTweak2 to pull the 0 throttle mark down so it looks like this.

              |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||
              -100%-------0%-----------------------------------------------+100%

              Which means that the markings engraved on my stick span through more space. But it all boils down to markings.

                ya i dont own a joystick, nor would i want to use one for flying. in bf2 i dont need throttle, but in project reality you cant take off without being able to taxi. all i want to do is trick my keyboard into thinking some of the buttons are throttle percentages, just like in the old flight sims like wing commander and xwing/tie fighter games.

                    In PR, you dont use the main engine throttle to taxi.
                    You use the arrow keys if you're using a keyboard.
