FSUIPC / VRAC Throttle Quad / Pitch Trim Axis Problem

[Michael_B767_ATP]

Hi Pete,

 

I'm having a small problem with FSUIPC. I setup FSUIPC to work with the following hardware.

 

VRAC Throttle Quad - Works but with one problem

 

I've been able to setup the following

 

Throttles - Works Fine

Engine Reversers - Works Fine

Fuel Cuttoff - Works Fine

Stab Trim - Works Fine

Parking Brake - Works Fine

Speed Brake - Works Fine

Flaps - Works Fine

Pitch Trim - Small Problem

 

Here is the problem Pete: The Pitch Trim level. It works, but not the way its suppose to. I have to move the level up and down (numerous times) toward the down position to move the trim down and I have to move the level up and down (numerous times) toward the up position to move the trim up. The pitch trim axis has been setup and calibrated just like the other axises (Throttles, flaps, speed brake etc.) that work fine.

 

Can't seem to figure this out on my own.

 

Thanks

Mike

As far as FSUIPC is concerned there's no difference between elevator trim and the other axes. Is this happening with all aircraft models?  What methods of assignment are you using and to which controls? More information might be useful, maybe even your INI file sections for Axes and calibration.

 

Have you tried using FSUIPC logging to see what is happening. The logging tab is in the options and explained in the user guide. Axis logging to start with. If you temporarily switch FS to windowed more you can display the live logging in a console window.

 

What you are describing sounds more like something using the Elev trim up and Elev trim down controls rather than the axis.
