That got it, thanks very much John. Appreciate all your very detailed help with this. Cheers, Daniel

Thanks very much John, very much appreciate you doing this for me. Unfortunately I dropped it in, fired up the simulator and still had the same issues. Playing around yesterday (before deleting my changes and reverting back to my originals) I tried pretty much the same solution as you gave me. Strange how swapping the two devices around doesn't seem to do anything, isn't it? Daniel FSUIPC6.JoyScan.csv FSUIPC6.log FSUIPC6.ini

Hi John, Understood. Updated, edited, P3D loaded and exited and files attached here. Thanks for your help with this. - Daniel FSUIPC6.log FSUIPC6.ini

Hi, Today, after I landed a PMDG 747 flight with all FSUIPC binding working correctly, I rebooted and tried an FSLabs A319 flight. All of a sudden my FSUPIC controllers had switched: FSUIPC is recognizing my CH rudder pedals as my Honeycomb Beta throttle unit, and all other axes seem randomly swapped or not recognized. The calibration on my USB controllers is still okay. I didn't unplug any controllers, or swap any other USB ports. Any idea what could have happened? I've attached by FSUIPC.ini file Thanks for any help, Daniel FSUIPC6.ini

Hi guys, Looks like I have this working now - many thanks. I'm not sure, but I think the issue is that the Airbus Pro throttle system/programming is extremely sensitive to noise of any kind whatsoever, and will not easily allow for any kind external recalibration/optimization. My throttle are a bit old so they're noisy, but that hasn't been an issue because I can use FSUIPC to mitigate that extremely effectively. Also, Saitek drivers are odd and strangely configured. I had to edit the registry to recalibrate, using these tools: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360023194074 Between that and the advice from Pete above it all seems to work now. Again, thanks for your help, and I hope this helps someone in the future with similar issues. Daniel

Hi Pete, I'm assigning to Throttle1 Set and Throttle2 Set. I've done as you say and it's suddenly working properly - at least with the aircraft parked and engines off. I'll have to find some time this week to try it in flight. Eventually I'm going to have to ditch these cheap Saitek controllers - they're just too old and unsupported now. Many thanks again for your help, Daniel

To be honest, I've had a hell of a time with Saitek drivers and their way-too-complicated driver process. I'm not sure how best to approach this? How do I deactivate them? Thanks, Daniel

Hello gentlemen, Thanks for your help! Done! Thanks for pointing this out. Attached. Yes, I should have been more clear about that, sorry: I made sure I had either a) FSUIPC bindings, or b) P3D bindings - never both at the same time. When I went to enable controllers and assign bindings in P3D, I first removed the FSUIPC.ini file from the modules directory in order to let it build a new clean one. That's precisely what I was thinking (they are old, and Saitek was kind of cheaply made) so I tries to calibrate. However, the Saitek drivers don't have a "calibrate" function anywhere that I can find: under setting up USB Game Controllers and selecting my Saitek Flight Yoke + Throttle, or my extra Throttle Quadrant (giving me six levers in total, for 4 throttles + spoilers + flaps) There is only a Test and a Deadzones tab, no Settings tab (with a Calibrate button) like I do with my Logitech Attack 3 (which I use to emulate the Airbus sidestick) and my CH Pro Pedals. I get around this lack of calibration by using FSUIPC Joystick Calibration, which works for all my other aircraft. When using the Aerosoft Pro and assigning Axis Throttle 1 Set from "Send to FS as a normal axis" - which works. However, the minute I try to calibrate through FSUIPC Calibration the Aerosoft Pro the throttle stops responding - which is what you're alluding to when you say "It might not like you calibrating in FSUIPC either", of course. When I then (again after removing the FSUIPC.ini file, so that no FSUIPC Aerosoft bindings exist) and "enable controllers" in P3Dv4.5, I also set a very heathy null zone. Either way, I get the exact same behaviour. I've even set up Deadzones in the Saitek driver screen, moving them past the "jittery" zone (which I can see as a tiny fluctuating zone) but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what options I have left to calibrate further? To be clear about all of this: The Saitek does not have a "Reverse Zone", as such: there is a zone below the throttle range that when you slide the throttle into activates a button, which I assign to reverse (throttle decrease options in either FSUIPC or P3D - again, never at the same time) Sorry for the epic-length post. And again many thanks for your help... Daniel FSUIPC5.1.log

members 0 27 posts Report post Posted March 7 Hi, I'm having issues getting the reverse thrust to engage properly on the Aerosoft A330 Professional. Using Aerosoft A330 Professional version 1.0.0.8 P3D 4.5 HF2 Windows 10.0.17763 Home Saitek Flight Yoke & Throttle + 2nd Saitek Throttle Quadrant, CH Rudders I've tried setting up the throttle both suggested ways; 1) Using standard P3D assignments 2) Using FSUIPC assignments and using F2 for reverse In each case the throttles work fine, but reverse thrust is hesitant to engage, and when it finally does, will not stay locked (ie; holding F2 engages reverse, but it wobbles back and forth within the reverse thrust range - like something is pulling it back to idle) I've asked in Aerosoft forum for help, and they are convinced that that nothing is wrong with their programming and that the most likely candidate is FSUIPC. Even though I've removed my FSUIPC.ini file and let it rebuild (so no assignments), and enabled the controllers through P3D, I am told it is likely FSUIPC that is the most likely candidate (sorry, I think that's what they're telling me, even though I don't understand how that could be...) I may have misunderstood (here's the thread) One thing: the Saitek drivers do not have a calibration option as such, only the attached. I've attached my FSUIPC.ini file. Please let me know if I can supply anything else... Appreciate any help, Daniel FSUIPC5.ini

There is no Flap 5 option takeoff option? But it shows a Flaps 5 screen on the Simmarket page - is this an error? https://secure.simmarket.com/images/products/2/27/9389/146542_04.jpg
