About the first part: Very happy to hear that, i had just googled a solution and only found the one i stated above.
Second: Perhaps i was up a bit to late last night, i wasnt paying attention to the pages (at the very top) within the Axis assignment tab, everything works as it should now.
Another question on functionality if i may, again my goal being to have 2 seperate throttle inputs for multi engine aircraft, mostly just for tight turns on the ground and option for fuel conservation. Does FSUIPC have the ability to keep the throttles synchronized as one, until a set level of difference is inputed, it is very difficult to provide consistent thrust on each engine when not running 0% or 100% or perhaps something that would allow a similar result.
Thanks
