The logitech controls working just fine in most aircrafts I use, but flying  a 747 with just two trottelhandels is a frustrating job.

After all, I bought the solution with FSUIPC. The 60 pages handbook offers no simpel and easy solution. After scanning the dense text for relevant words , I copied pages 45-52 in the hope to find a three click solution. No way, everyting is properly installed, acces to FSUIPC via FSX is ok. The controle screen is simpel with just a minor amount of buttens to handle. But results are also very minor e.q. zero.

 

Ho can give me a clou.... OK my mothers language is Dutch.

What's a "three click solution"?

 

Tell me what you actually want to do. It isn't possible to figure that out from your crazy rant!

Hallo Pete,

 

The question is mentioned in the first line of my message. 

 

Just activating the 4 throttels in a 747 with Logitech G940.

 

A three click solution is solving a problem with a few mousclicks. Wat is a crazy rant?

Why not simply assign them? What is "activating"? Have you never assigned anything in FS? Try there first.

I assigned all the parameters in FSX. No problem, only the 2 trottles in the G940 can't adressed on 4 engines. Tell me please.

 

I have only 1 question, you give me 5 others on reply. 

 

The aircraft is the PMDG version of the 747.

So you are saying the G940 throttles aren't seen by FSX? Does it see the G940 at all? Try the default FSX 747 first -- if it's okay there then your PMDG aircraft is broken.

 

However, f the G940 isn't being seen correctly in FSX, then FSUIPC won't see it either. You need to get help from Logitech -- maybe it is broken? Did you install any drivers for it at all?

 

Always try things in FSX first, and with default aircraft, because I really cannot help with hardware which does not work. Sorry.

Hello Pete,

 

The G 940 works properly with FSX. In the default FSX 747 only the throttles for engine 1 and 2 are seen. All other aircrafts with two engines are o.k. even other PMDG aircrafts working fine. I did not install any driver. 

 

The support of Logitech is very basic, I asked them  earlier. 

 

I received earlier information from the dutch forum the FSUIPC program is including a option that detect the engines in the aircraft  "assign left handle for engine 1 and right handle for engine 2" 

will change each of the  handles for 2 engines at the next start. Yes I tried this with no result.

How many throttle levers are on the G940? If there are 4 and only 2 are seen, then the unit must be faulty, surely?

Sorry, I don't understand that. It makes so sense to me. Maybe it's lost in translation?

 

If you only have two throttle levers then, yes, assign them to engines 1 and 2 so that they work correctly for 2 engined aircraft. for 3 and 4 engined aircraft you simply use the "Map" options shown in the Calibration tabs. You can map 1->12 and 2->3 for 3 engines and 1->12, 2->34 for 4 engines. It isn't a problem -- that facility has been included in FSUIPC for many years.

 

Alternatively, when assigning in FSUIPC, you can assign any axis to up to 4 controls, so you could assign there to multiple engines.

 

Your choice, whichever suits you or you find easier.
