yeah I did that, but there are more than 1 throttle option, and no matter which one I put on the throttle axis, just a tiny movement in either direction was making my throttle either at 100% or 0%
I don't suppose you still have the axis bound elsewhere? It sounds like it.
Sometimes easier to check in the xml directly.
