EDIT: With the release of 1.70 you can now bind +/- axes to the analog throttle I tested it with my throttle and it actually works. I'll leave this video up just in case that doesn't work for you though!
A few people have brought up that they've had difficulty getting their throttle to work properly with Arma 3 when flying jets. This video hopes to address that. This is how I was able to set up my axes in order to be able to use the full range of the physical throttle instead of just half. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions! I'll be happy to help as much as I can! Below is a more detailed explanation of why this happens:
With helicopters, you can map analog collective raise and collective lower. This tells the game with you go one way on your throttle to increase, and when you go the other way, decrease. The way jets are set up in controls is you only have an analog thrust option. No increase/decrease. Typically (and with my HOTAS), if you put an axis on here, the game will only read 50%+ on the physical axis. What I had to do to get it to work is modify my axis in the software to where the entire range is read as the X- axis.
Here is the stick I use:

The Arma 3 Jets DLC is scheduled for take-off on May 16th 2017, and will be supported by a 'massive' free addition for all Arma 3 players: the CVN-83 "USS Freedom" Aircraft Carrier. Find out more at http://arma3.com/dlc/jets
The USS Freedom is a nuclear-powered aircraft supercarrier, which serves as a naval main operating base and can carry various aircraft and helicopters on board. In terms of in-game functionality, the ship is a static object that can be positioned across the map via the 3D Scenario Editor, but cannot be 'driven'. The carrier supports catapult take-offs and tailhook landings, and features functional autonomous defensive weapon systems.
You can now pre-order the Arma 3 Jets DLC on the Bohemia Store with a 10% pre-order discount: https://store.bistudio.com/products/a...
Alternatively, if you are already certain you want to enlist for all planned upcoming DLC, you can purchase the Arma 3 DLC Bundle 2 on the Bohemia Store or Steam, which saves you more than 25% over purchasing each DLC pack separately: https://store.bistudio.com/products/a...
