FSUIPC with the Real Air Duke??

[DustyProp]

Hello, I am having a few issues with the Real Air Duke V2 and my Saitek devices. I am trying to setup the separate throttles, Prop and condition levers. My issues are as follows;

1. Throttles will not go into beta and the Saitek throttles need to be at approx 50% before the levers in the VC move.

2. Prop pitch levers move position rapidly from feather to high RPM.

3. The condition levers will not go to shut off position they rest at mid low idle and extend to high idle with the Saitek levers at max but will not go to the stop position when the Saitek levers are in the 0 or resting position. 

I am using P3D, FSUIPC4 paid version and have the Saitek yolk/throttle quad, a second Saitek throttle quad.

I believe I have everything set correctly but I suppose if I did I would't be posting here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance and please let me know if you need any further information from me.

I don't know about the former, but the latter problem is one of the Saitek driver or its definition in the Registry. It isn't related to FSUIPC. I think there's a solution posted in the Saitek forum, but first see the FAQ subforum here -- see the thread entitled  some saitek axes only provide partial movement

Maybe the same sort of thing, or just very bad calibration.

Always calibrate in the Windows driver's calibration screen before trying to use FSUIPC calibration, otherwise you start off with it all wrong.

Also, if you are assigning the axes in FS, make sure the sliders are set correctly -- sensitivity at max (full right), dead zone at minimum (full left).

As above.

Really you should get everything working properly with a default aircraft before attempting to do so with an add-on, because many add-ons do their own thing. Once you know your controls are set correctly, then you can work out the differences with the add-on.

There's no "paid" and "unpaid" versions -- the difference is just the Registration. And what matters is the version number. If you are using anything earlier than 4.955c you should update. I don't support old versions.

You should also always say whether you assign in FSUIPC, whether you calibrate in FSUIPC (two different and independent facilities), and whether you have disabled controllers in P3D or not.
