Hi Pete, thanks for getting back. Yes I am using FSUIPC. The Saitek TPM (Throttle, Prop, Mixture) controller. It is basically a replacement for the throttle quadrant. The strange thing is, it has 3 levers: mixture works, the other two not. Under Axis assignment, -> send directly to FSUIPC Calibration, choose Throttle and then set the endpoints under Joystick calibration. But you are right, if I set a value as above 0 (-61) it works. it did not work with 0 before what I had tried. Thank you very much for reminding me and pointing that out! Cheers, SJ

Hi, I had a working environment for a long time and my USB hub died. Anyhow all works again but I am not getting my TPM throttle to work. The problem is it is jumping on the last few mm. All the way out, I see a calibration value of -16384, all the way in it is 16383. The problem is, moving it just a bit out, it will not go to 16382, 16381 etc, it is directly jumping to 0 and then increments by 1 until it is moved all the way out...So basically I am either missing all the positive values or there is some sort of reverser set. This makes it impossible to fly as the RPM is juming a lot. I don't know what is wrong, tried for hours now. Any idea? Thank you, SJ

Pete, Thanks a lot, that worked perfect. I knew I overlooked something. It bothered me all day and I came to a workaround. I could have divided the total range by 10 (roughly 3200) and assign via the range option 10 values from 0 to 100. so -16000 to 12800 set 0 and so on. Anyhow, thank you very much for the fast reply. Cheers SJ

Hi Pete, guys, I am struggling with a comand in my A2A 182. I am trying to assign a LVAR (WindowDefrosterControlKnob) to an axis. Just as an information: I am using a BU836 interface board and experimenting with potentiometers and switches. First of all, the WindowDefrosterControlKnob will take values from 0 (closed) to 100 (full open), when defining it in the macro file as WindowDefrosterControlKnob=INC and WindowDefrosterControlKnob=DEC I can assign a button to either way and open and close it. However, there is no feedback if it is open, close or somewhere in the middle. So I thought I could use a potentiometer which has a stop on both sides which would give a feel if it is open, middle or closed etc (hope you understand what I mean). Anyhow, the only way to get it somehow to life is when using WindowDefrosterControlKnob=SET within the LVAR macro and then assigning it to the axis. However as the poti output is -16359 to 16383 and the actual WindowDefroster reacts only to values of 0 - 100 controlling it is not the right word. I can open it and close it but only by accident finding a value which is in the range of 0 - 100. Basically the same would happen with a simple on/off switch and setting the values to 0 or 100, but I also wanted to get all values in between set. So, either I need to get me a poti which has much less resolution (not sure if this is available at all) or there is a way to translate the -16359 to 16383 to the values the variable would expect (0-100). Is there a way to do this? Sorry if this has been answered but I have read so many articles and not really sure what else to search for... Thanks and best Regards. SJ
