I have assign the mixture control with "Direct to FSUIPC calibration" but when i go to 'Joystick Calibration'" i can't calibrate the mixture control, i move the control and nothing happening.

Are the other axes okay?

Does the axis show proper movement in the Axis Assignment section?

Which of the 5 mixture controls did you assign and where are you looking in the Calibration section?

Does the mixture control in the calibration section have a "Reset" button showing? If not, you haven't told it to calibrate. Press the left-most "Set" button.

Is the word "Direct" shown in the calibration section? If not it is either the wrong one (not the one you asdsigned), or you haven't truly assigned it.

Yes

yes

The first "Mixture"

Yes

Question: Program to clean registry mess with FSUIPC?

I will remove all assignments by removing fsuipc.ini to see if i can calibrate mixture

Thanks

... Yes ...

Well you ticked all the right boxes, so I'm at a loss -- if the routine reading the vales in the Axis Assignment sees them, then I really don't understand how they aren't seen in the Calibrations: the same routine is used. That's weird.

Question: Program to clean registry mess with FSUIPC?

FSUIPC doesn't store anything in the Registry. Everything is in the FSUIPC INI file.

Okay. Meanwhile I will double check the Mixture axis here.

I will be using version 3.821, the latest. Perhaps you could too, just in case it is different? You can download it from the "Other Downloads" announcement above.

[LATER] Okay. I can reproduce it here with 3.821. Strange. I shall fix it straight away ...

Okayit isn't actually a 'real' bug, at least not the "problem" I found.

Do you have the Reverser calibrated in the Calibrations? If so, that is stealing the Mixture input to use as a Reverser. Try setting the option to only do this for jets, and then load a prop. Does the Mixture now work as advertised?

This is a bit of a design oversight. Obviously if you are assigning Direct I shouldn't steal the axis for other things, and especially not if the reverser is assigned direct as well (as there is obviously no need to steal an axis then).

I shall fix this, making both direct assignments truly work "directly". Sorry about the confusion. You sould be able to work around it for now, as I say, but it needs fixing -- both in FSUIPC3 and FSUIPC4. Look out for an update in the Announcements quite soon.

Thanks for a useful report.

It is fixed in version 3.822, available in the Other Downloads announcement now.

I made a new FSUIPC.ini

And everything its ok

Do you have the Reverser calibrated in the Calibrations?

Yes i have

I will do that

Thank you
