Hi Peter,
I am trying to set up for testing purposes a saitek throttle quadrant to use special offsets to control Engine 1 and 2 within FSUIPC with two axis until I build my proper TQ for this Aircraft
The offsets which are dedicated for this avionics software are
LEFT_THROTTLE=0x18173
RIGHT_THROTTLE=0x18174
I was told that the values for it are from 0 to 1023 (1023 being MAX power)
First off, I have disabled all axis assignment in FSX regarding the throttles.
Second I went into FSUIPC and went into the "Axis Assignment" tab and scanned and found the left throttle axis. I then selected the "Send to FS as normal axis" I then selected the <Custom Control> and put in the offset for Engine 1 throttle which is 0x18173 and clicked ok. FSUIPC then showed it as 98675
I then carried out the same for the Second axis with the second offset and FSUIPC then showed .98676.
I am getting a response but it's always either 0 or max power with the levers when I add this to the FSUIPC.ini file.
[Axes] 0=0Z,1,F,98675,0,0,0,+1023 1=0U,256,F,98676,0,0,0,+1023 2=1U,256,D,3,0,0,0,*0.5,+8192 3=1V,256,D,3,0,0,0,*-0.5,-8191
As you can see I have another two axis from a Pokeys card for rudder pedals in which I completed with two pots from another post I seen you posted to help another member here on the forum. (2=1U and 3=1V) with some added math which works perfectly by the way, thanks for that information.
I was wondering what would be the proper math for my throttles axis so that I can use them correctly as of now, they only either go full power or idle power.
Thanking you in advance
Michael
