Thanks Pete, It is not an animation issue, as there is no control in flight. I have wiped my drive and installed Win 10 and still getting the same issue. I note that in FSUIPC the rudder is reported as axis Z and the throttle is reported as axis R however, in Windows calibration rudders are R and Throttle is Z so, for now I am going to look into this and see if I can find out how to get them to report as the same. FWIW using send to FS in FSUIPC the controls work just not sure I'm getting the full range from the throttles..... Dave.

Okay trying to keep it as simple as possible this time ie no Profile Specific setting. Starting with a new FSUIPC.ini I have again assigned the Y axis to Elevator and selected Send Direct to FSUIPC Calibration I have repeated my calibration steps as in my last post however, I have applied two centre positions as per your advice Calibration is now MIN Set = -16384 CENTRE Set = -886 over 958 MAX Set = 16383 This still results in NO movement of the Elevator in P3D Unfortunately, for me, there does not appear to be any simple things....

Thanks for your response Pete. I have as you suggested went through your FSUIPC User Guide again, specifically concentrating on page 47 THE EASY STEP-by-STEP WAY TO CALIBRATE YOUR CONTROLS Prior to starting P3D I have renamed FSUIPC4.INI to org_FSUIPC4.INI with the intention of assigning the Y axis of the stick and then calibrating same Y axis all in FSUIPC. Axis Assigment A. I can confirm that after opening P3D and checking Options > Slew Mode is unchecked and that under Options > Settings > Controls that Normal is shown in the Flight Mode dropbox - even though I have unchecked Enable Controller(s) and removed any Joystick axis associations. B. Within P3D I select Add Ons > FSUIPC > Axis Assignment. I then check the box Profile Specific and name it VRS FA18. After selecting RESCAN I then move the Y axis of the stick forward and note that Joy# = 0 and Axis# = Y Delta = 256 IN = 16383 and OUT = 16376 from here I then select Send Direct to FSUIPC Calibration and put a tick in the first box below I then select Elevator from the dropbox and I then click OK to close the FSUIPC dialogue. Page 47 THE EASY STEP-by-STEP WAY TO CALIBRATE YOUR CONTROLS Step 1. I can confirm that after opening P3D and checking Options > Slew Mode is unchecked and that under Options > Settings > Controls that Normal is shown in the Flight Mode dropbox - even though I have unchecked Enable Controller(s). Step 2. Within P3D I select Add Ons > FSUIPC > Axis Assignment. I can confirm when moving the Y axis fully forward Delta = 256 IN = 16383 OUT = 16280 on pulling the Y axis fully back Delta = 256 IN = -16384 OUT = -16384 Step 3. Switching to the Joystick Calibration tab I click Set under Elevator (direct!) on page 1 of 11 which returns IN = 0 OUT = 0 Min Set = -16380 Centre Set = -512 over 512 MAX Set = 16380 Step 4. I can confirm when pushing the Y axis fully forward IN = 16327 OUT = 16329 fully back IN = -16286 OUT = -16287 Step 5. I now pull the Y axis fully back IN = -16286 OUT = -16287 holding the Y axis fully back I then click MIN Set (Leftmost) which now = -16286 Step 6 I now let the Y axis return to its natural centre IN = -204 OUT = 0 I then click Centre Set which now = -204 over 512 Step 7. I now push the Y axis fully forward IN = 16383 OUT = 16384 holding the Y axis fully forward I then click MAX Set (Rightmost) which now = 16383 Step 8. I click on Slope and select a response curve of 3 then click OK Step 9. I leave Filter unchecked Step 10. I leave Rev unchecked At this point I now close FSUIPC by clicking OK and return to P3D I then go to an outside locked view and unpause I then push the Y axis both forwards and backwards with a result of nothing, absolutely no movement whatsoever of the elevator. I would very much appreciate if you could confirm the steps I have taken as noted above are correct with regards to axis assignment and calibration highlighting wherever I may have interpreted your User Guide incorrectly and or why there is no response within P3D? Below is a copy of the resulting FSUIPC4.ini file created from these settings.

Hello, I am having some issues with my Warthog in P3D version 3.4 and registered version of FSUIPC 4.959 with VRS Superbug. Within P3D I have unticked enable controllers and cleared all Joystick assignments with the view of using FSUIPC for controller setup and calibration. From within FSUIPC I found I was able to complete setup and calibration though, this was not as straightforward as I thought it would be. To explain, I thought I should be using Send direct to FSUIPC for calibration option but found this gave no controller response in P3D. What did work was using Send to FS as normal axis and calibrating with No Reverse Zone however within P3D when running up the engines they only get as high as 95% RPM. I enquired about this at VRS forum and was advised to calibrate with Reverse Thrust however, doing this results in Throttle 2 returning all zeros for Reverse Idle and Max. Aside from the Warthog I have older gameport Simped rudder pedals connecting through USB on Realsimulators RUSBA plug - not sure if this would make any difference? So, I am curious as to why I can't Calibrate using Send direct to FSUIPC Why does calibration return all zeros when calibrating with Reverse Thrust FSUIPC4.ini [General] UpdatedByVersion=4959 History=IODVWUHUKP23G02GHVN8D AxesWrongRange=No TCASid=Flight TCASrange=40 AxisCalibration=No DirectAxesToCalibs=No ShowMultilineWindow=Yes SuppressSingleline=No SuppressMultilineFS=No AxisIntercepts=No DontResetAxes=No InitDelay=0 GetNearestAirports=Yes LogOptionProtect=Yes OOMcheck=Yes OOMcheckInterval=10 TimeForLuaClosing=2 WeatherReadFactor=2 WeatherRewriteSeconds=1 CustomWeatherModify=No SimConnectStallTime=1 InitialStallTime=10 NormalStallTime=1 LuaRerunDelay=66 Console=No ProvideAIdata=Yes ProvideAIairports=Yes InitDelayDevicesToo=No Annotate=Yes NewInterceptTextMenu=No UseSystemTime=No UseMidMouseBtn=Yes MouseWheelMove=No MouseWheelTrim=No MouseWheelTrimSpeed=1 JoystickTimeout=20 PollGFTQ6=Yes BlankDisplays=No FixControlAccel=No FixMachSpeedBug=Yes NewDeleteVehiclesForAES=No AutoScanDevices=Yes AssignJoystickIDs=Yes VisibilityOptions=No OneCloudLayer=No CloudTurbulence=No CloudIcing=No GenerateCirrus=No SuppressCloudTurbulence=No MaxIce=3 MinIce=-1 UpperWindGusts=No SuppressWindTurbulence=No SuppressWindVariance=No WindTurbulence=No TurbulenceRate=1.0,5.0 TurbulenceDivisor=20,20,40,40 SuppressAllGusts=No MaxSurfaceWind=0 WindLimitLevel=200 WindDiscardLevel=400 WindAjustAltitude=No WindAjustAltitudeBy=2000 SmoothBySimTime=No WindSmoothing=No WindSmoothness=2 WindSmoothAirborneOnly=Yes PressureSmoothness=0 TemperatureSmoothness=0 DisconnTrimForAP=Yes ZeroElevForAPAlt=No ThrottleSyncAll=Yes WhiteMessages=No ShowPMcontrols=No SpoilerIncrement=512 MagicBattery=20 RudderSpikeRemoval=No ElevatorSpikeRemoval=No AileronSpikeRemoval=No ReversedElevatorTrim=No ClockSync=Yes ClockSyncMins=5 ClearWeatherDynamics=No OwnWeatherChanges=No TimeForSelect=4 LoadFlightMenu=No LoadPlanMenu=No PauseAfterCrash=No BrakeReleaseThreshold=75 SaveDataWithFlights=No ZapSound=firework ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring UseProfiles=Yes EnableMouseLook=No DelayedMouseLookZoom=No WideLuaGlobals=Yes ThrottleSyncToggle=77,9 AllEngHotKey=78,10 FSVersionUsed="Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v3",3.4.18.19475 SimConnectUsed=3.4.0.0 [WideServer] WideFSenabled=Yes [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=Joystick -
