Hi guys, last few times i have used my joystick i have noticed that when i move the throttle up just a little bit, It takes it straight to full power, If i view the throttle for that aircraft its all over the place going up and down when i'm hardly touching the throttle on the joystick.

I have tried calibrating it many times, Is it time for me to get a new joystick? I have a Saitek Cyborg

Try checking the sensitivities. Options /Controls/Sensitivities. They should be max to the right and null zone should be max to the left.

Thank you for the reply,

Tried that.. Still does the same ( The settings were already on those options ) ... Think i may need to invest in a new joystick.

I would have to agree.
Sounds like the pot's bad.

Very hard to use reverse thrust as when i hit F2 it starts the reverse then stops instantly as the joystick seems to try to throttle up a bit.

I wonder if it needs to be cleaned out. Maybe with some compressed air...
