Throttle 1

[cachiozza]

When I assign a saitek throttle quadrant lever to throttle 1 and go back to the sim, it immediately puts the spoiler out and reverses the thrust on 1. I can assign it to "throttle" and it works fine. I have deleted all axis in P3D. Any ideas?

See my thread a few days back:

First off, remove any Saitek drivers. Then,

Try this recalibration fix

To recalibrate, first unplug the quadrant.

Go to start/run and type regedit.

The registry editor will have a list of folders on the left hand side. Go down into the following folders in order.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (CURRENT_USER if on VISTA)

System

CurrentControlSet

Control

Media Properties

Private Properties

Direct Input

Inside the Direct Input folder, delete any folder that begins VID_06A3.

Once done, close the editor. Plug the quadrnat back in and move all the axes through their full range of movement 4 times.

Now go to control panel/game controllers/properties to see if everything is ok on the test screen.

Finally, what fixed mine was to do what I did in the last post of my initial thread. It has to do both with the Saitek registry and also the dead zones.

Good luck

I have the same problem with CH controllers.  Not only the throttles going to reverse thrusters, but can't get the rudder working.  I thought the P3D v3 problem  was resolved.

 

Also I removed FSUICP because of this problem.  Today I thought I'd give it another shot, but now the registration won't take my key.

 

I guess I removed too much of FSUIPC.  Found a file in the trash (the key), restored it, then my key worked.

 

I still need help with the original problem however.

I will try that and report back

How do I remove the saitek drivers?

 I removed the reg entries but still same.

Did you tweak your dead zones in Windows calibration? I think that's what did it for me. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.. Sorry.
