Hi It is impossible for me to avoid hot-starts because I have no throttle axis free on my x52 saitek. I have to use a button but even a small press makes it go past idle detent and beyond, I tried to decrease as much as I can when I hear the pop-up but it is too late. The devs have made this too difficult for persons that don’t own a dedicated helicopter hardware. Otherwise very good machine , really a pity that they messed that up. and yes I followed the procedure from the documentation. it is just my key presses that makes the throttle go too far and I can do nothing about it please help me to find a workaround yves ---

Can you roll the throttle with a wheel on a mouse? That’s how I did it before I got the Puma X. ---

Yep that did the trick much more control with the mouse wheel thanks ---

The throttle on this chopper is buggy ---

Buggy? What do you mean by that? It works just like the one in the 206. RotorRick ---

I’ve also got an X52 rigged to a “crudimentary” collective setup. I use the dial axis circled in the picture and bind it as shown. Had the FlyInside 206 since last summer and in 100+ starts I’ve never had a hot start, but I’m also 10+ year veteran of the Dodosim 206, so I’m intimately familiar with the startup procedure. ![Collective Setup](https://blade7.starweb.net/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8daadf3f06772c90a728d9652ee597468d7c96dc.jpeg) ---

Very nice setup man and what do you use for the cyclic and rudder pedals ? ---

Geez, totally missed this. Nothing fancy, Thrustmaster A-10 joystick and Saitek rudder pedals.
