  1. Hi Pete, an update to wthe whole reverse thrust issue. It turns out the Saitek Flight Yoke Quadrant was faulty and as such, was sending out extraneous commands. This resulted in a conflict which caused all the issues mentioned above. I assigned all controls to my second USB Quadrant. The problems were sorted. Thank you for the recommendation of logging the commands. It was tricky as it was an intermittent fault, but I did manage to get to the bottom of it. Regards, Dwight
  2. Hi Pete, The logs show Throttle DECR and Throttle Cut, with the addition of "Mixture commands" I went into FSUIPC and turned off assignments for Mixture, but 1 still has readings other than "0" If I use the levers independently from each other the engines do as the are supposed, but if I go reverse thrust for both at the same time Engine 1 cuts off. UPDATE: I change the button settings so that both levers now control only Throttle DCR and Throttle Cut. Lever 2 in reverse thrust will cut off engine 1. UPDATE 2: For some reason lever 2 was activating the readings on Mixture 1. I fiddled around until it read "0" and set the Mixture 1 so all read "0". When I am standing still the reverse thrust works as planned. When I do a landing with spoilers etc, the engine cuts again when i apply reverse thrust. On top of that suddenly all my exis settings were gone. I re-assigned them (?!) but now after I throttle up then apply reverse thrust, engine 1 cuts out and its that pesky lever 2 again.
  3. Thank you. I will check that out when I get home. I will report back if I manage to solve the problem.
  4. Hi Pete, I have been unable to contact VirtualCol as they are changing servers and are currently off-line. However, I did notice that a flight made with the stock standard Carenado aircraft in P3D resulted in the props also shutting down completely during reverse thrust. "Enable Controllers" is most definitely deactivated in P3D. The only other plugin I have is SpadNext and that shows no settings assigned to the Quadrant. Is there a specific place to look for conflicts? This is doing my head in. Regards Dwight
  5. Thanks for the prompt reply Pete. I will contact the Virtualcol, as I was beginning to suspect it was something their end rather than FSUIPC. I also double-checked. Enablke Controllers is deactivcated in P3D Regards Dwight
  6. Hello everyone, I have recently restarted my P3D v4 setup and was re-programming FSUIPC for use on a VirtualCol Embraer 175. All controls are functioning perfectly with one exception: Revesrse Thrust. I am using 2 Saitek Quadrants and have setup the Yoke quadrant for the two engines of the Embraer. I have selected the Buttons + Switches menu and set Throttle Decr for both throttle 1 & 2 respectively. The control sent when button released function was Throttle cut, but when applying reverse thrust on landing, the engines would be turned off. I have bypassed this for now by having that function changes to Engine Autostart. While this works, it isnt what it is supposed to do. I have Spadnext running, but there are no functions associated with the quadrant in that app, and I have disabled control via P3D. Am I missing something in the setup? Regards, Dwight
