Pete, ok, now I see what you mean. I will recheck my settings and adapt your advices. Anyway, FSUIPC did help me a lot to set up FSX as I always wanted it to be. Only the two little problems discussed in my topics bothered me, but I guess I really can solve them now. I hope my questions weren't to annoying 8). Best wishes :D.

That's absolutely possible and plausible. Since the sim-flight was quite short and everything was set for an instant take off, I wasn't aware if TO/GA was activated. So you convinced me, I leave the settings for the throttle as is :wink:. Thanks for your help!!!

Yes, somewhere. Ok, I'll have a deeper look at that. It's one of these "one missed checkbox deeeep in the system makes you go crazy"-thing :wink:. Honestly, this is what I did. Correct me if I'm wrong: I understand that FSUIPC does not override the FS-setting in any case? That would make thinks clearer for me :oops:. Ok, since English is not my first language it's not that easy to explain this speedbrake related event. Here is what I did: Assign a free lever to speedbrake with FSUIPC, have the lever set to "Zero" (equals speedbrake off). Move the lever, which causes FSX to move the speedbrake properly too. At about 50% of the lever travel suddenly the speedbrake in FSX starts to retract again. At 100% of the lever travel the speedbrake is fully retracted instead being deployed. I expected the speedbrake in a 737 (e.g.) to move synchronously with the lever all the way. And I only did test in the air! Did I make a mistake in my thinking again :oops: ? Of course it's possible that I have caused a conflict here with FSX and FSUIPC again, like I obviously did with the throttles :roll:. Thanks a lot anyway! I'm just learning to use FSUIPC (except of my two self-made "problems", the software works great :D!).

Pete, thanks for your response. Ok, it is definitely a cut to the performance. But since I've had the chance to fly in a full-motion-sim at Lufthansa flight school, I've noticed that N1 would go only to 99,x% when pushing the throttle to max. I even asked the instructor about that and he replied, like you said, that it's possible to go over 100% for a short time but only under certain conditions. Maybe he turned on a "beginner"-mode :wink:. But I try to turn my FSX more like to what I saw at that LH-sim. Best wishes :-)

Hi again :wink:, yesterday I tried to set the second lever (originally intended as a prop lever) on my Saitek throttle quadrant as a second thrust lever for a B737 in FSX with FSUIPC 4.28. It worked but not 100% accurate. My problem is that the second lever (for engine 2) works independently but when I use the first lever (for engine 1) it also makes the second lever move, they even synchronise as if I would use only one lever for both engines. Also the second lever makes the in game FSX lever move very jerky. Oh, of course I unchecked the box that wants to apply the trottle for 4 engines. Also I applied the third lever on the Saitek quadrant for speedbrakes. Funnily the full travel of the lever in one direction deploys and retracts the speedbrakes - I move the lever fully down (in order to deploy the sb) and the game makes the sb go up AND down again smoothly :shock:. What can be done to solve this little problem? Thanks for your help :-).

Hi, first of all I want to thank Mr. Dowson for his great tool :-). But there is one question left for me: Is it possible to adjust a throttle lever with FSUIPC 4.28 that way (in this case a Saitek throttle quadrant), that I can push it to the mechanical stop at max but it will only send a signal like "I'm on 95% now"? This would be nice for e.g. a B737. My quadrant always makes N1 go up to self-destructive 111% or more when being pushed to max. Of course I want N1 to go up only to 98 or 99%, even when the trottle lever is at max deflection. Yesterday I tried to use the set-button to tell FSX that the throttle only has a travel from about 0-80% but FSX interprets this shorter travel as (of course) 0-100% :?. Thanks for help :-)!
