Throttles for PMDG 737 and 747

[jonwoody]

Hi,

I have a reg copy of FSUIPC current version.

I have a CH yoke (3 levers) and CH rudder pedals.

I have diabled joystick controls in FS9 and FSUIPC handles them all.

I have allocated all buttons and switches, rudders, elevators, flaps etc with no problems.

Everything EXCEPT throttles are allocated under General aircraft commands.

I load the PMDG 737 and allocate a lever each for eng 1 and eng 2 ("throttle1" and "Throttle2" respectively) then calibrate them. All done under "specific aircraft commands" is checked.

All that is fine and works great.

Then

I load the PMDG744;

Again, all the general commands work fine, spoiler included.

I then select "specific a/c command" box to allocate my two levers left over to control engines. I allocate lever one - "throttle1" and "throttle4", the other as "throttle2" and "throttle3".

Once done, she flies fine.

Now,

If I load the 737 again, my throttles are out of calibration???? Why is this so?

Below is my ini file re the joystick calibration.

If I load the 737 again, my throttles are out of calibration???? Why is this so?

Because of a bug in the current version. Please check the Interim Versions announcement above and download 3.709 (the bug was fixed in 3.707, the day after it was first reported).

Regards,

Pete
