It's just the stock throttle on an ancient sidewinder joystick - nothing special... calibrates fine and has had very little use (until FSP...)
However, I might have come up with an answer - I realised that about the same time this started, I'd plugged a gamepad in, which was
showing up as a second controller. Doing some testing shows that FS was accepting input from both controllers. Nothing was being
pressed on that either, but it might just be that it was interfering somehow, maybe by sending some signals saying nothing was being
pressed which FS took to mean the throttle was set to 0.
I've unplugged it again now and will test and see if it happens again.
Cheers,
Steve.
