Aircraft specific

[africa1]

Hi,

How do you uncheck the "aircraft Specific" window in joystick calibration. I checked this option for the new Eaglesoft Cessna Citation X II but am having endless problems with the throttle increasing and decreasing at will (jumping) while taxiing on the ground, I thought unchecking the Aircraft specific configuration might help but the box is shaded out and when i click on it to uncheck it, nothing happens. It just stays "checked" and wont allow me to uncheck.

Thanks

How do you uncheck the "aircraft Specific" window in joystick calibration.

Delete the [JoystickCalibration.] section of the FSUIPC INI file, then press the "reload" button on that options tab.

The option is protected from simple "unchecking" because it means the loss of the entire settings for the aircraft or profile. There's no way the program can switch easily between specific and generic application, and it isn't nice to allow a lot of work to be undone and lost by the possibly accidental clicking of one checkbox.

If all you did was check it, then all that happened is that the existing calibration at that time was copied to the aircraft specific settings. The only use of making anything aircraft-specific is if you then make some changes. Having specific settings identical to the generic settings does nothing useful, and reverting to those generic settings therefore won't make any difference whatsoever.

If you suspect you've not calibrated the throttles properly, then the best thing to do is do it again, properly.
