Problem with throttle mapping

[pauld_za]

Hi,

I am using FSUIPC 3.411 with an simple 2-throttle quadrant. I have enabled mapping of both 1->12, 2->3 and 1->12, 2->34.

Whenever I enable the filter, the mapping goes wrong and I end-up with the following 1->12, 2->2 and 1->12, 2->24 eventhough the above mapping is still enabled. This means, I effectively lose control of throttle 3. If disable filtering, the mapping is corrected.

Any ideas?

regards

Paul

Only one of those will be operative -- in fact 1->12, 2->3 is a subset of the other in any case.

Ouchokay, I'll check it here. If I can reproduce it I will fix it ready for the next release. For the time being please just disable the filtering.

Thanks,

I have a 4-lever quadrant, I confirm the problem. It occurs when Filter 2 is checked. This applies to throttle and prop pitch (as for mixture, I don't know). It does not occur when only Filter 1 is checked.

I've fixed it in an interim test version of FSUIPC, which I did send to the original reporter (though I've not heard from him since then). Do you want one as well? Otherwise it will be fixed in the next official release, early December I expect.

I certainly can wait until early December, and even longer. But, of course, I accept to test it if you think it helps.

Hi Pete,

sorry I haven't replied sooner-I've been away. The update you sent fixed the problem.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your update 3.422.

I tested throttles, rpms and mixtures with 4-engine aircrafts, and I also tested throttles with a 3-engine aircraft. Everything is fine. Thanks again for being so responsive.

A word about 3 and 4-engine aircrafts:

Only one of those will be operative -- in fact 1->12, 2->3 is a subset of the other in any case

I'm afraid it's a little bit different: 1->12, 2->3 actually applies to 3-engine aircrafts, and 1->12, 2->34 applies to 4-engine aircrafts. I remember this accurately because I am the guy who asked you, about 2 years ago, to extend the original throttle mapping for 4-engine aircrafts to the rpms, mixtures for both 3 and 4-engine aircrafts.

Best regards,

Daniel Delande
