I actually read the manual and I have it working for the most part.... Thank you for your patience... The mistakes I made mostly deal in not leaving leeway with the calibration. Once I set the levers not to the ends of their runs the thrust and reversers are working fine. I understand better the concepts now. The only calibration I am having trouble with at the moment is the spoiler. I am using the left-hand thrust lever on the AV8R to control the spoiler with full forward on the thrust lever being "retracted." I have tried pressing the set button in different orders but I must have missed something. I also took your advice about controlling the whole magilla through your product. I disabled the controllers and deleted the assignments within FSX... I will read up on programing the hat button on the av8r to control the view/slew... It's working great now. Thanks again, Ben

I understand your feedback, but for the record... I took pains to delete all joystick and throttle quadrant assigments from FSX and your product. It may seem as though I am confused but I assure you I am not. Maybe I don't understand your product as well as others but I am no neophyte as well. I will refer to your documentation and maybe I can catch a better idea what is going on.... Thanks, Ben

having re-read your post, I will look at the guide for setting minimum, idle and max ranges.... Sorry.

is it related to... 1. Previous settings that may have been put in incorrectly?" 2. Not the latetest version of FSUIPC? 3. Vista? 4. Problems coming from FSX over time? 5. Operator Error? 6. All of the above????

after doing all the above, when I move the throttle number 1, it cuts off the engine sometimes....

using FSUIPC 4.5 on a vista maching with FSX/accelerator-add on... I have calibrated all throttle quadrants.. On mine... Page 3 deals with Seperate throttles per engine... Each, 1-4 have been calibrated... I switched the lefthand for the right hand quadrant (having 2) because Right hand one said in FSUIPC said it was quadrant 2, and now is unit-1. Maybe I have faulty quadrants After I have assigned and calibrated them, sometimes when I bring throttle one down it cuts off the left engine... when I initially go into "axis assignment" and move throttle one, throttle2 set shows up as the choice for joy#1 X axis.... but when I rescan and move throttle one it comes up appropriately... originally when I cleared the "assignment" I chose "Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration." On page 3 of 11 when I move throttle 1, numbers for throttle 4 move... So I press "Set" for throttle 1 and move the lever and notice a couple of things.. 1. The numbers don't always remain the same for full on or full off settings. 2. If I want to set the "Idle" I can't make the reverse less than the idle... I found the "No reverse Zone" and selected that... What does the checkbox "Exclude Throttle n Set" for? Because I may have set things wrong over time, would it be better just to start the whole computer from scratch and reload everything methodically to "measure twice, cut once." ? I have probably screwed the pooch on it and like to keep it simple. Excuse my ignorance please, I am trying but may not be doing it correctly... maybe there is a stray setting in there somehere

I am using two Saitek Throttle Quadrants and FSUIPC... I have deleted all joystick assignments in FSX.. Withing FSUIPC I have assigned throttle 1 and throttle 2... On throttle 2 when I advance the throttle a little the engine 2 thrust reverser goes into action and when I advance the throttle more it goes into normal thrust.. My goal would be to have individual thrust reversers so that when you pull back the throttles to the detent at the bottom end they individually go into thrust reverse. I have tried zeroizing all settings on the different calibrations pages, but still not able to solve this...

Because of using CLS DC-10 and FSX Acceleration Package and seeing jumpy screens I have been slowly rebuilding my system and illiminate where the problem is. I haven't installed CLS software yet and have been unable to activate FSUIPC. I am using Vista Ultimate and I have diabled my software and router firewall and have deleted the FSUIPC.INI file and nothing yet allows me to activate my copy of FSUIPC. Any ideas? Do I need to stay away from FSX Acceleration package with FSUIPC? Please help.

I solved this first by removing the assignments within FSX. I then found out through another post that I didn't need FSUIPC. If when assigning the throttles to axis within FSX you then go to the Calibration Tab move the Sensitivity slider all the way to the Right and the Null all the way to the left the Axis has a full range of movement illiminating the need in this instance for FSUIPC.

I appreciate the response. Since posting, I bought the FSUIPC. I have two quadrants. I could not make the levers work properly without FSUIPC. With FSUIPC I could make the bottom end of throttles reversers. I really love your product and the lever problem I understand is a nuisance. A good lesson was that I had to delete all throttle assignments within FSX to allow FSUIPC to calibrate throttles.... Thanks

Despite my best efforts to calibrate my throttle levers through FSUIPC, either calibrating them through this add-on or sending the info to FS when I move one lever it still moves other ones. ie... moving throttle in a twin moves prop and/or mixture disproportionately. Please help.

Do you make easy to understand instructions on how to program Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrants with FSX? I am trying to get both engines in twin props to go entire range and mixtures to cut-off engines and props to go full range. I also want to get full range for jets with possible reverse thrusters and/or P-3 Orion. In real life P-3's have four levers and if the levers are moved all the way back they go into reverse thrust. Thanks.
