Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant

[psalm10720]

Do you make easy to understand instructions on how to program Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrants with FSX?

I am trying to get both engines in twin props to go entire range and mixtures to cut-off engines and props to go full range. I also want to get full range for jets with possible reverse thrusters and/or P-3 Orion. In real life P-3's have four levers and if the levers are moved all the way back they go into reverse thrust.

Thanks.

Saitek has only 3 levers (unless you have 2 quadrants)

Twin engine prop:

you have to choose if you want Prop or Mixture / with 2 Throttles or 1 Throttle

Twin engines (JET): I have

1- Throttle 1

2- Throttle 2

3- Mixture (engines Cut Off)

Pretty obvious n'est pas

Reverse THRUST Saitek really is a BUTTON

Mode "Buttons + Switches" do reverse lever, and will show button#

Control sent when button pressed:

"Throttle Decr" AND check Control to repeat when held (simulate F2 hold down)

I do NOT do "Throttle 1 Decr" Throttle 2 Decr"

because for 4 engine Jets in "Joystick Calibration" "3 of 11"

I have Map 1 -> 12, 2 ->34 checked

and

you want All Engines to Reverse / (with 2 levers)

with 4 engines:

Map 1 -> 12, 2 ->34 checked

3- Mixture (lever#3)

I appreciate the response. Since posting, I bought the FSUIPC. I have two quadrants. I could not make the levers work properly without FSUIPC. With FSUIPC I could make the bottom end of throttles reversers. I really love your product and the lever problem I understand is a nuisance.

A good lesson was that I had to delete all throttle assignments within FSX to allow FSUIPC to calibrate throttles....

Thanks
