Weird deadzone in right throttle from saiteck, only via fsuipc

[victorjr]

hello all

 

I recently took off with the 777, and got blown to the left. After almost crashing, barely taking of, and putting on AP, I noticed that my thrust levers (in de 737) were off from eachother, while on my quadrant, they weren't.

So looking into fsuipc, i noticed, that the max value 16383 was reached on the most right lever way ebfore it should have. I'm not sure where that came from, because looking in the windows panel (I can't calibrate again for some ingenius windows/saiteck reason) it does pick up the last part of teh throttle movement.

I really have no idea what is wronf, anyone?

Assuming you have calibrated in FSUIPC properly (following the numbered steps in the user guide), the only other usual reason with the Saitek device is that the registry wrongly defines that axis causing Windows to change the values provided. There are lots of posts about that here, as it is a common Saitek problem, and I think it is dealt with by some registry editing documented somewhere on the Saitek support forum.

 

I'm afraid those that have been there and found it have not bothered to come here and state what the answer is, but if FSUIPC does not see the ninput numbers change it cannot do anything about it.

Thanks Al. I've posted this in the FAQ subforum for future reference.
