Saitek rudder and throttle problem.

[rgbinns]

I am trying to configure my Saitek system in FSUIPC using the latest 4923 but only the ailerons and elevators are recognized.

With the rudder and throttle they are not. No numbers showing up at all.

I am using Windows 7 64.

Everything works fine in FSX.

There's been no change in any related part of FSUIPC for a long time.

 

Are you talking about assignment or calibration? You need to actually say what you are doing as "configure" doesn't give any details. Please show me your FSUIPC4.INI file, from the Modules folder.

Sorry Pete about incorrect explanation regarding my problem.

 

What I should have said is when the rudder peddles or throttle are moved in Joystick Calibration the numbers do not move unlike the ailerons and elevator which do and so I can calibrate them.

 

Here is the ini file that you asked for at least I hope it is what you required as I do not see a ini file only config settings and also a link to a image:

What I should have said is when the rudder peddles or throttle are moved in Joystick Calibration the numbers do not move unlike the ailerons and elevator which do and so I can calibrate them.

 

Where are the axes assigned? FSUIPC's calibration will only see assigned axes. The FSUIPC axis assignments tab should see all axes. did you check there?

 

 

Here is the ini file that you asked for at least I hope it is what you required as I do not see a ini file only config settings and also a link to a image:

 

The file you pasted is the FSUIPC4.INI file. It seems you have Windows hiding filenames from you -- please review the early pages of the FSUIPC User Guide for details of how to stop that. It makes things very awkward.

 

The image you posted shows input values for those two axes you say it isn't reading, so evidently it has read the controls assigned. FSUIPC's calibrations do NOT read joystick axes, they work purely on the controls which FS is using to operate the surfaces. If they are not changing it is because those controls aren't changing.

 

In FSUIPC the only tab which reads axes is the axes tab, where you can assign them.

Hi there again,

I am one of many people having trouble with starting Prepar3D where when the aircraft loads on runway it is at full throttle and goes around in circles. So it seems that maybe it something wonky with Prepar3D and not  FSUIPC. 

I am sorry if I have wasted your time Pete and thank you very much for your prompt replies.

I have already posted over at Prepar3D forum at the link below but nothing has helped  yet.,

kind regards

Richard.

Maybe. The picture you posted show both axes stuck with high input values. I would really suspect dual assignment -- i.e. something else is also assigned to those axes. See if you can check through alternative controllers automatically assigned in P3D. It happens in FSX so it can no doubt happen in P3D too. It may be a controller that you no longer have plugged in but which still has an active driver.

Pete
