After more tests, I noticed in FSUIPC that when I put levers in the notch (right-click set automatic power management on the ATR), the IN and OUT values of the throttle are both set to 10000. I understand now that if the throttle is not absolutly stable, a new value is sent to FSUIPC, so the PM is then disconnected and the engine torque go back to 0% (idle value from the throttle) ! So I can't see how FSUIPC can solve the problem... The only way, I think, is to inhibit throttle input when PM is set !? Another way may be an upstream filter that remove spikes values from the throttle.

I think the problem initialy come from the GF-TQ6. altough the levers does not move, FSUIPC/FS receives erratics/spikes values from the throttle. I don't know how to manage that. The assumption is that altough an idle zone is set, FS receive a spike that come over the null zone, this disconnect the auto-torque mngt on the corresponding axis. As the lever is physicaly at idle position, the engine power is then set to idle. This results with an assymetric thrust at take off. I went on atr's forum and I saw that many guys got the same problem, some have solve the problem with FSUIPC (how ? I don't know) and others gives up...

ok for the doc :oops: I have a problem with the F1 ATR72-500 and GF-TQ6 : The ATR got a notch on the throttle. This notch set automatic power management. The procedure at take-off is to set (GF-TQ6) throttles levers to idle, perform a right_click on the logical throttle (the screen) to put levers on the notch, this sets automatic power mngt on. The problem is a loss of power at take-off or assymetric thrust. If the ATR detect a movement with the lever, it disconnects the automatic power mngt. So, I tried to calibrate the throttles, to set an (large) idle zone, but these actions do not solve the problem. Another question is that when I advance levers to full forward this increase the IN value to 15000, 16000 and it finish to -4096 :shock: Should I set MAX value to 163xx or -4096 ?

Hello Pete, I just bought FSUIPC 3.50. The doc is not up to date for the joystick calibration tab. The screenshot provided does not correspond with the actual screen design. In 3.50 I have 3 columns : "Reverse", "idle" and "Max" with two rows for "Idle". How to use them for calibrate my GF-TQ6 ? Thanks. :D
