Newcomer / Intro Setting up Throttle Slider on T16000M

I'm setting up my new Thrustmaster T16000M flightstick. Everything is pretty straightforward except for the throttle which is a slider on the base of the flight stick. I've only been able to set it up so that it toggles a one-time increase or decrease in speed depending upon whether I slide the throttle all the way up (or down). It doesn't seem to have a mid-way position for "0" and gradual increments of speed depending on the slider's distance between the mid-way position and completely up (or down). Anyone have this flight stick and worked out the right binding for the sliding throttle? Thanks!

Ditto on the setting up but there's some advice on the net. It's possible to set the slider so fully down (toward the back) is zero, then mapping a button to toggle forward/reverse; forward thrust, press button ('9' was the one mentioned I believe), reverse thrust. Hope I described that right.
Hellavalot better than trying to find zero (with no centre-click) when you heading helta-skelta toward a bloody great Anaconda.

EDIT: Looked back and found this: throttle.jpg
Hope that helps!

The most important advice with T16000M: don't install any special drivers or software downloaded from Thrustmaster!
Use the standard Windows joystick driver and you can easily map the throttle slider and all the buttons in the Elite control setup screen.
