Using Four Engines with the Saitek X55 Joystick


Recommended Posts

Dear Peter,

I have a problem with this joystick as it does not recognise four engines. I noted in your FSUIPC instructions that one can use your program to use four engines. I have tried various steps on the Joystick CalibrationPage but I cannot get the third engine working.

I attach a link to my dropbox folder of the relevant  page and wondered if you had any answer for me.

Also is there a way of setting the FSUIPC back to default settings. I tried the Normal defaults on the 'options and settings' page  but this did not seem to reset it.

Thanks for your help

It's a bit pointless posting pictures. The INI file tells the correct story. But as you can see, NONE of those axes are processed, not even for Engine 1, so why bother checking the "map 1->234" option?

 

So, how are you assigning your throttle (where, and to what?), because it isn't to any of the Axis throttleN set, ThrottleN or ThrottleN set controls.

 

You haven't even bothered pressing a SET button in order to calibrate either.

"Normal defaults" are for all the other options. There's no such thing as "normal defaults" for assignments and calibrations. If you don't want FSUIPC to do any of that it is easiest simply to delete the FSUIPC4.INI file before running FS.
