## Community notes

**POLPOX** — 2020-01-04

The value that set by [setAirplaneThrottle](../commands/setAirplaneThrottle.md) =/= the value that can be get by [airplaneThrottle](../commands/airplaneThrottle.md) when the plane's config *throttleToThrustLogFactor* isn't 1.

There're two planes in Vanilla Arma 3 that the value isn't 1, which are V-44 Blackfish and Y-32 Xi'an.

```sqf
vehicle player setAirplaneThrottle 0.5;
airplaneThrottle vehicle player;    // 0.793701 if the value is 3
airplaneThrottle vehicle player^(getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf vehicle player >> "throttleToThrustLogFactor"));    // 0.5
```
