  1. Hi Peter I'm afraid i can't answer for FSLabs, but I'm confident that it's their handiwork you are seeing, from their Forum you will see that they have been under a lot of user pressure regarding the interfacing of these new Thrustmaster products and I suspect that a quick fix using FSUIPC was their short term answer. I believe that further work will be included in their next update release. The T.A320 Pilot is indeed the name of the Thrustmaster sidestick. Everthing is working now and i have been able to re-enabe my Macros without incident so I'm a happy man. I'll report back to you if I discover anything else of interest. Once again, a big thanks for such selfless Sunday support and for your product. I only wish I was technically more compitent to enable me to make more of it . Best wishes Andrew
  2. Hi Peter, There appears to have been a miss-understanding, for which I apologise - please read below: I tried to explain in my last post above that I think it's the FSLabs developers who have created the FSUIPC axis assignments and installed them. FSLabs provide an auto-run routine that that links the Thrustmaster Sidestick and Throttles with their Airbus software when you first start the sim and it detects that you have the Thrustmaster hardware attached. I guess that's where the assignment originated. Honestly no one has been fooling around "unintentionally". You get a dialogue box that asks if you want the controlers to be auto-setup. I can only suggest that they used FSUIPC for this and that's where it came from. I have uninstalled v5 and re-installed, uninstalled the FSLabs Airbus and re-installed, and now I get no throttle deflection when I move the sidestick. I have not yet disabled any controller settings in P3D but it seems to work. I have enabled one .mcro and it still seems ok so I will press on and report back. Once again, thanks for your generouse support on a Sunday - much appreciated. Andrew
  3. Hi again Peter, I haven't made thiese assignments. FSLabs provide a routine that runs on install, that facilitates the Thrustmaster Sidestick and Throttles with their Airbus when you first start the sim and it detects that you have the Thrustmaster hardware attached. I guess its possible that this may be something that they have created in FSUIPC for distribution.? i certainly wouldn't even know how to assign throttles and sidesticks in FSUIPC having never attempted to do so. The throttle assignments you mention in P3D are for my other aircraft and other throttle hardware when I'm not simulating the Airbus. These two Thrustmaster controllers are further complicated by the fact that the sidestick also has a throttle facility built in, though I don't use this as i also have their throttle quadrant addon and so its not needed. I'm sorry Peter but my technical ability (or lack of) means that i don't understand your advice when you say: "Not only that, but you have actions assigned to the throttle movements on the right-hand side of the assignments facility: [Axes] PollInterval=10 RangeRepeatRate=10 0=0X,256,D,9,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1 }- 1=0X,BR,0,0,65966,0,65967,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle1Entering=THROTTLE1_DECR, Leaving=THROTTLE1_CUT }- 2=0Y,256,D,10,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2 }- 3=0Y,BR,0,0,65971,0,65972,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle2Entering=THROTTLE2_DECR, Leaving=THROTTLE2_CUT }-" Since i didn't assign anything knowingly, this doesent mean much to me I'm afraid. I truly appreciate you assitance. Other than delete any sidestick or throttle assignments in P3D (which FSLabs dont ask you to do at any stage?) i don't know how to resolve this problem. Are you able to offer any further helpful advice please? Andrew
  4. I have tested all aircraft in my collection, not just the FSLabs A320, A2A, Default P3D aircraft, etc etc same result with all of them. On the default F22 right bank advances Left throttle smoothly, pull up advances the right throttle smoothly. It backs off as soon as i release the stick pressure. In the Maul Right bank advances the throttle, likewise it backs off as soon as I release the stick pressure. In the FSLabs Airbus Left and Right bank advance and retard respectively Englie 1 throttle lever, climb and desent advance and retard respectively the Engine 2 lever. Twist advances and retracts Engine 2 lever, though this is not consistent and may be due to a very small climb and descend reading registering due to the torque. Andrew

  6. Hello Pete, Very grateful for your prompt response, it's much appreciated. The joystic has been operating just fine until recently and I have only just recently introduced FSUIPC programming of some buttons and switches through the Macros function at which point the problem started. That may be a co-incidence, but I'm now exploring every possibility trying to track down the problem. If I move the physical joystick, the in-sim throttles step rapidly up and down the detents. Not sure the specific definition of thrashing v jittering, but they flick forward and back in a wild way through TOGA and back to REV Max and all points in between, randomly. I hear a click,click, click as they rush up and down the detents. Even the slightest deflection of the joystick left/right/forward/back starts the problem. twisting the sidestick also has the same effect. I will read the manual and learn how to find the FSUIPC5.INI file, a Log file (FSUIPC5.LOG) and the macro files (.mcro) and send them to you immediatly. Andrew
  7. Hi, I have the Thrustmaster Airbus Sidestick and the Extended TA Throttle Quadrant. I use FSUIPC v5.151 but only for macros to assign switches in the sim to buttons on the Trhrustmaster sidestick. Since creating these Macros, I'm seeing starnge behavior as I move the Sidestick. If I move the sidestick, left right, forward or back, it makes the simulated throttle levers move in a jittery way. The Axis of the Sidestick are assigned correctly in P3D v4.5 to Ailerons, Flaps and Rudder, nothing else. There is no assignment anywhere linking movement of the sidestick to throttle movement. The Throttle Quadrant levers operate the sim correctly having been assigned, calibrated etc. But as soon as i touch the sidestick the throttles start to thrash forwards and backwards wildly! It has been suggested that FSUIPC might be mistaking my sidestick for a throttle quadrant somehow. How could I test / fix this please? Any advice would be much appreciated. Andrew
