Hi Pete, I feel a little bit ashamed of myself. After a mayor HD crash and reloading things for a few days I must have been to frustrated and tired to check things properly. I simply forgot to assing the controls in the FS Controls Assigments page! Your latest FSUIPC-update works fine, 100 %! I am sorry keeping you on your toes. Keep up the super work you do for us flight simmers. Best regards. Andy

Hi Pete, Here I am again with a calibration problem using the throttle quadrant. I installed FSUIPC 4.16 with update 4.174. There are several problems within the joystick calibration Problem 1: 3 of 11 separate throttles per engine. Throthles 1 + 2 are OK. 3+ 4 are not responding (0 in / 0 out) Map is set 1-->12 2-->34 Problem 2: 4 of 11 separate mixture controls per engine. Mixture 1 is OK. 2 can not be set. 3+ 4 are not responding (0 in / 0 out) Map is set 1-->12 2-->34 Problem 3: 5 of 11 separate prop pitch controls per engine. Prop pitch 1 is OK. 2 can not be set. 3+ 4 are not responding (0 in / 0 out) Map is set 1-->12 2-->34 I am using the CH-Contro manager in direct mode. Values in the throttle settings tab are: Min value = 0 Max value = 255 Detent value = 240 Dead zone = 4 In the FS settings page I have all the 6 sensitivity sliders fully to the right, and the 6 null zone sliders fully to the left. When using your previous update 4.162 things worked fine. Any idea what has changed since then? Best regards. Andy

Hi Pete, Just for your information: I just tried to acces the files from the links in my message sent to you, and it worked from there! I downloaded both files. Strange... Best regards. Andy

Hi Pete, I am trying to download the latest FSUIPC update --> http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/FSUIPC4174.zip as well as the guide to configure CH-products --> http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/CH_ConFSUIPC.pdf The links do not work, and I get a message that the server can not be found. Any idea why that would be? Thank you for your support. Andy

Hi Pete, Thank you for your prompt reply! As soon as the update is out I will download and install it. Again thank you for your help :-) Best Regards. Andy

Hi Bob, In my previous message I wrote all 3 sliders each. Thats wrong. Of course I meant that all 6 Sensitivity sliders are fully to the right and all 6 Null Zone sliders are fully to the left. Best regards. Andy

Hi Bob, Thank you for your inputs. I am using the Control Manager in Direct Mode, and the values on the "Throttle Settings" tab in the CH Calibration Applet are: Min Value = 0 Max Value = 255 Detent Value = 240 Dead Zone = 4 I also re-checked sensitivities and null zones. All 3 Sensitivity sliders are fully to the right and all 3 Null Zone sliders are fully to the left. Maybe any other clues what could be wrong? Best regards. Andy

Hi Pete, Thank you for your reply. I am happy to hear from you again as soon as your new video card is in. Have a nice Sunday. Best Regards. Andy

Hi Pete, Thank you for your prompt answer. Enclosed please find the required data. Everything looks OK to me. Hope you can find an answer. Best regards. Andy Ziegler

Hi there, I am a registered user of FSUIPC, using it with FSX. I have downloaded and installed the newest version 4.16 of FSUIPC. I have encounterd the following problem while using a CH-Products throttle quadrant. I calibrated the throttles, mixtures and prop pitches in the joystick calibration pages (3, 4 and 5 of 11). Everything works fine for 2-engine jetaircraft (throttles with reversers, fuel cutoffs) and 2-engine propeller aircraft (Throttles, mixtures, feathering). To use the quadrant on 4-engine aircraft (B747-400) I check marked the option "Map 1-> 12 2-> 34" for throttle, mixture and pitch --> see enclosed PDF document. Things work fine for engines 1 + 2 (throttles and fuel cutoff valves), but for engines 3 + 4 only engine 4 works fine (throttle and fuel cutoff valve). Engine 3 and cutoff valve are not responding at all. Please also see in the enclosed pictures, that on all calibration pages, there are always "zeros" for throttle, mixture and pitch for number 3. While flying the 747-400 with AP and autothrottles, all engines are adjusted fine. Can someone please help? Thank you. :-)
