SETA Problems

[Spartan0536]

Hello all I just bought x3 Terran today and have put 4 hours into it so far, I started a custom game and I have tried to use SETA multiple times to no avail. I have pressed j, remapped the key to a joystick button, and clicked the SETA button in the HUD and all it does is make a small noise and continue at 1x speed. WTF is going on here?

Set your SETA factor to x10 or lower.

I set it to 2x-10x and it's all the same am I missing something here?

Welcome aboard.

Have you read the required information sticky, as it hard to know what you are working with - without it.

[Carlo the Curious]

Something is turning SETA off as soon as you engage - most likely some input device is supplying a continuous signal.

As Carlo said. I had the same with an XBOX360 gamepad with analog triggers. The triggers were constantly sending signals to the game, so SETA stopped instantly (as if you push a button).

thanks for the support guys it was my joystick causing the problems, kinda like the keyboard and mouse setup a little better though.

There's usually a solution to the problem if you want to use the joystick, though...for instance, the problem with Saitek X45 and X52 joysticks is the MODE switch, and you can provide command-line parameters to the game so it ignores the switch entirely, allowing SETA to work.

Hello,

I have (had) this problem aswell - with a Saitek X52 HOTAS. When you are using joystick - the analogue sliders usually tend to switch off SETA as they are a bit "jittery". Especially the throttle one - i can SETA only if I move the throttle stick in either 0 or 100%, anywhere between it is jittery.

Note: - the X52 does not have any issues with the MODE switch, only on transition from one mode to another it is stopping the SETA, else not, but to be honest i never used it (as you can map most of the controls on the HOTAS).

cheers,
me

again thanks for all the excellent support it just so happens that I have a Saitek X52 FCS (Throttle & Yoke), however I like the feel of the Keyboard & Mouse better it is nice to know that someone else has resolved this issue incase I feel like I want a "simulation" experience. Just an offbase question, have any of you had "sticking" or "jumpy" problems with the X52 on any game, mainly concerning the throttle and attached sliders?

Perhaps a link would be illuminating.
