Hello all at simFlight,
For the past couple of days i have been having a problem linking my throttles to my FSX Airbus and it is really doing my head in, i have trawled several forums, read about one hundred threads and almost burnt out the search function on every forum ive visited.
I have also located and read through about a thousands pages of PDF documents, edited a bunch of code and .XXX files that is just gobbledygook to me and my head is so filled with text and numbers and options i think ive gone into meltdown and must just be missing something very simple.
Out of everything i have read, including all the "SOLVED" threads, i cant one single agreed solution.
My old setup was a cheap and cheerful joystick with built in throttle lever which worked perfectly with no added software required.
I then went out and purchased 2x Saitek throttle quadrants and for the life of me cant get it to work with my Airbus X Extended throttle for more than a couple of hours.
I managed to get it working once, full throttle movement including reverse! But hadn't the foggiest idea how i did it, but it worked. GREAT! closed down FSX -came back the next day and it didnt work. argh!
after reading many threads on different forums i purchased FSUIPC which in theory i can see is a great peice of software and if i can get it to work correctly will be great.
I have been able to set up buttons, flap detents, axes ranges in order to calibrate "gear up" and "gear down" its all great, ive even managed to get reverse thrust working by using the button at the bottom of each axes as a reduce throttle 'repeat', perfect. but for the life of me i cant get the throttles axes to move forward in the slightest.
Nor can i get the setting to "save" (is there such a function/button?).
I hope somebody can help me out here, i am close to breaking point.
many thanks in advance for any help.
