[Uncontrolled throttle movements]

Such jitter is usually a sign of a badly worn or dirty pot in the device, or of a poor power supply where the voltage is changing.

oh yes, this could be. :? My PC is not the last jewel, will try to add power to the Yoke.

Get them working in FS. Surely you aren't trying to use them via FSUIPC without checking them in FS first? What is wrong with the Saitek software? Does that play up?

I always heard that interferes with FS assignments (uncontrolled behaviours), but not directly experienced. :?:

:D

[Uncontrolled throttle movements]

Hi! :D

I'm proceeding on assignements, calibrations & co.

Found a problem, as subject.

In some positions the throttle is in constant small uncontrolled movement (up and down) and the decrease-increase movement is not linear but stepwise.

FSUIPC 3.98 and FS9. Throttle is Saitek, connected to the respective Yoke via game port. No Saitek software installed.

Thank you in advance for help! :D

[Macros and priority of commands]

Thank you Pete,

I will read it! :wink:

[Macros and priority of commands]

.............. In fact it would completely wreck the whole idea and point of FSUIPC's macros if the gauge graphics had to be visible for them to work -- you might as well use a Key2Mouse program instead (or even a real mouse). Most folks use mouse macros to interface hardware to aircraft and don't want the screen cluttered with software representations of hardware they have in front of them (or overhead, for that matter).

Aha! :D Great Pete, this is the point, I had some Key2Mouse philosophy in my mind.....

I don't know what the problem is you want to "solve", but I suspect you are mis-identifying it. Perhaps you'd like to say what it is you actually have a problem with and want to solve?

example: main panel window ---> Yoke button #1 = speed inc

radio stack window ---> Yoke button #1 = nav1 frequency inc

is it possible? :?:

[Macros and priority of commands]

Hi Mr Dowson, :)

I'm new here. Hope you understand my poor english. :wink:

I'm a new user of macros and I have just a little problem.

As general assignments I had some commands, like inc/dec altitude, inc/dec climb-rate, inc/dec IAS, assigned to some buttons of my Yoke.

At the same buttons, for a specific aircraft, I have assigned some macros, adding in the .mcro file the line window="Radio Stack", the name of the window.

When I fly the specific aircraft the macro commands take the priority over the general assignments commands even if the window is closed. I'm sure the solution is in front of me, but I can't see it. Help please! FSUIPC 3.98 and FS9.

Thank you in advance! :) :D
