Lama. It's pretty stable to fly without feeling dumbed down. Once you've got it started!

AXIS Collective set got my hopes up then dashed them! 😀 The daft thing is that the lever doesn't react to the mouse except when the engine is running. This is so frustrating, it's not as if I'm asking for anything exotic. The bottom line is that I don't understand LVARS and the all the other exciting things you chaps take as ordinary. I need to be talked to like a 5yo. 😕 I really do appreciate your taking the time, but I'll just content myself with what I've got. By tomorrow I'll probably have forgotten all about bloody helicopters anyway. Dangerous things!

I've tried everything that has AXIS, HELICOPTER, THROTTLE and SET in any order. None of them work. I'm think this is a Toag problem. Thanks for responding though. In the meantime I'll settle for starting on the runway! Shame, lovely helicopter though, the Lama. Cheers John

Me again. 🙄 Problem with helicopter throttle. The sims assignment for throttle is SET_HELICOPTER_THROTTLE 1_AXIS which works. FSUIPC7's is AXIS_HELICOPTER_THROTTLE 1_SET doesn't work Why not use the sims assignment then? I hear you ask. Because I loathe Asobo's mess. I want no part of it. FSUIPC handles everything. I've been to Toag's Discord and they speak in coder's hieroglyphics. I have tried various other throttle settings in FSUIPC but no luck Can you please shine a light on this?

Top tip. Also I never realised about the profile thing. If I got a new paint I'd have to point it to the appropriate profile. In the end I'd have l list as long as your arm of Comanches. 😂 Thanks for your time John. I expect I'll be back in the future with more 'insurmountable problems' 🙄

I think I know the problem. MSFS controller system makes a preset for EVERY plane I jump into. In the olden days my first job with a new sim was to disable all the controls. Then FSUIPC took care of everything. Never a problem. I'll leave you in peace and try to come to terms with 2024 'system'.

Sorry. Yes, key strokes. I wasn't aware of the difference. I'll get on it. 😁

My God! I've just looked at the log file. Who'd guess that so much went on under the bonnet? FSUIPC7.log FSUIPC7.ini

Is it possible that FSUIPC can 'forget' assignments? Or is 2024 controls system snatching then back by nefarious means? This is mostly keystroke assignments. As lovely as it is 2024 is..is..well, trying.

Wouldn't you know, I've just gone over to 2024 and The Duke now works with the 'normal' assignments. I could cry sometimes! 😁 EDIT: But it changed back with SU3 🤣

I've been struggling with this BlackSquare mixture thing for ages. Today, thanks to this thread, I've cracked it! As John said earlier, "Why not? Have you tried? It is incredibly easy and explained well:' I've used FSUIPC since forever and I maintain that it's like brain surgery, Easy when you know how. 🤣

Thanks John, I appreciate the offer, but coming to my senses I realised that I probably won't be flying this helicopter very much after the initial enthusiasm wears off. What beats me is how many ways do you need to make an axis work. As far as I can see you need at most 11 axis to assign. Anyway, I promise I wont bug you any more about throttles. 😁

Me again. 😕 What is it about throttles and MSFS? This time it's Taogs HUEY. Throttle only responds to the MSFS in game controllers. AXIS_HELICOPTER_THROTTLE_SET in FSUIPC works fine for the Flyinside 206 and G47 but none of the options for throttle work for the Huey. I've had to resort to the MSFS assignment for it. Question is is there a workaround. Some bright spark suggested I get SPAD! 🙄

Stand down. I figured it out. Milviz, for reasons best known to themselves, use different commands to everyone else Instead of AXIS_THROTTLE_SET, they use THROTTLE_AXIS_SET_EX1 This is my .ini extract 2=DZ,256,F,65765,67096,0,0 -{ TO SIM: AXIS_THROTTLE_SET, THROTTLE_AXIS_SET_EX1 }- Back to real life. 😁
