NOW OPENED IN TF BUG TRACKER: NUMBER 853
https://tfbt.nuvturais.de/issues/853
Problem:
Happens in single player only, in the Quick Missions and Single Missions.
Happens with all player controlled fighters in the dogfight missions.
When the enemy is on your six, or in close combat, the throttle automatically jumps to 100% by itself.
When the enemy is no longer chasing you, the throttle goes back to normal.
Sometimes the throttle jumps at the end of the enemy's attack.
It's like the game forces you to use maximum throttle in combat.
As it looks like lots of things are about to be fixed, I thought this should be looked at too.
Feel free to suggest anything I might have set up wrong...
EDIT:
Appears to be linked to AI mission orders for each waypoint:
ENGAGE ENEMY FIGHTERS
FREE HUNT
NORMAL FLIGHT
These allow AI fighters to attack the player's fighter and cause the throttle to jump in close combat.
If the mission orders do not allow the AI to engage in combat, then the player's throttle is normal.
EDIT:
Also happens on my laptop install of CLOD where throttle was bound to keyboard keys and not the joystick throttle.
Appears to be related to the AI deciding I am the next target. When they break off, the throttle is normal again.
EDIT:
Unplugged joystick and played using keys only on laptop and desktop pc. Single player - Dogfight even - low level mission - Spit v 109 E4:
1 v 1 throttle jumps on head on passes where enemy fires at me, or in a turn fight at the end of the enemy's attack.
4 v 4 throttle jumps almost continuously in a fur ball fight, or again at the end of a single enemy's attack.
EDIT:
Looked at key bindings and everything ok.
Anthropomorphic Control: Disabled - same if enabled.
No AI Control: Enabled - same if disabled.
