Assigning throttle axes- hardware with same axis


Recommended Posts

Moved to Main Forum, please use for questions related to FSUIPC the main forum otherwise it might not be seen ...

Hello   I would be grateful for your help.  I am just beginning to set up a motorised 737 throttle unit with fsx. When I move the LHS throttle lever on the hardware it shows as X axis and the RHS throttle lever shows as Y axis.   However, these two axes are already in use with my CH Yoke for the elevator and ailerons. I was hoping to leave my yoke calibrated as it is and assign my motorised throttle, throttle levers to alternative axes such as S or T?  At the moment I cannot see the way forward, I have tried using FS and FSUIPC4.  At the moment I have two devices which deliver the same axis reading.  Is it possible to change the axis assigned to the hardware to enable me to move the throttle to axes S and T?

Regards

Kevin

Hi,

it doesn't matter if those axes are already in use because it is in use by a different controller. But you should decide where you want to define and calibrate your controller, in FS or FSUIPC. Best definitely not in both, just in one or the other.

If you want to define all your controller in FSUIPC you have to disable Controller in FS, in controls page of FS, and then define all your axes and buttons of each controller you want to use in FSUIPC.

Hi Thomas 

Thank you for your reply.  I now better understand how the Calibration works.  After I posted the comment I progressed with FSUIPC  to assign the throttle axes and it seems to be working using the PMDG 737.  in view of your advice I will now move all calibration assignments to same system, probably FSUIPC as It will offer me more options.

Regards

Kevin
