Dual Saitek Throttles


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Recently purchased FSUIPC5 but 2 things no longer work since the upgrade.

1) It does not fully support dual Saitek throttles ( 2 quadrant the throttle lever and prop pitch lever is not detected correctly, it is either on full or off)

2) Since the new 5.112 release it no longer save any axis assignments or button controls

Can anyone say if this is being fixed?

First try the interim update 5.113, available for three weeks now.

Also the FSUIPC5.LOG file is required, not the install log.

Your JoyScan file shows:

Y, x1E, x06A3, x0763, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, 3, 3, 0, {8EE9DBB0-7BB4-11E7-8009-444553540000}, {8EE9DBB0-7BB4-11E7-8009-444553540000}, {8EE9DBB0-7BB4-11E7-8009-444553540000}, Y, Y
Y, x1E, x06A3, x0C2D, Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant, 1, 1, 0, {8ED6A1D0-7BB4-11E7-8005-444553540000}, {8ED6A1D0-7BB4-11E7-8005-444553540000}, {8ED6A1D0-7BB4-11E7-8005-444553540000}, Y, Y
Y, x1E, x06A3, x0C2D, Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant, 2, 2, 1, {8EE017B0-7BB4-11E7-8006-444553540000}, {8EE017B0-7BB4-11E7-8006-444553540000}, {8EE017B0-7BB4-11E7-8006-444553540000}, Y, Y
N, x01, x06A3, x0C2D, Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant, -1, 4, 2, {NULL}, {E2A751A0-8E7A-11E7-8008-444553540000}, {NULL}, N, N
Y, x1E, x06A3, x0BAC, Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, 0, 0, 0, {8ED198C0-7BB4-11E7-8003-444553540000}, {8ED198C0-7BB4-11E7-8003-444553540000}, {8ED198C0-7BB4-11E7-8003-444553540000}, Y, Y

So, THREE Saitek throttles, one of which appears to be an invalid Registry entry. 

The INI file sohws these detected and entered correctly.

0=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke
0.GUID={8ED198C0-7BB4-11E7-8003-444553540000}
1=Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant
1.GUID={8ED6A1D0-7BB4-11E7-8005-444553540000}
2=Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant
2.GUID={8EE017B0-7BB4-11E7-8006-444553540000}
3=Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
3.GUID={8EE9DBB0-7BB4-11E7-8009-444553540000}

So what exactly do you mean by this?

1) It does not fully support dual Saitek throttles ( 2 quadrant the throttle lever and prop pitch lever is not detected correctly, it is either on full or off)

The two throttles are fine, which different assignable IDs 1 and 2.

What "prop piitch lever" do you have on your throttles?  Do you mean you assigned one? To an FS control or direct to FSUIPC calibration.  For it to be full on or off  it sould s like you've not bothered to calibrate correctly. Your INI file sohws no calibrations whatsoever, and only an Axis assignment to and uncalibrated Elevator assigned "direct to calibration".

Sorry Pete, I should've explained myself better.

The axis that do not work correctly are 2X and 2Y. 2Z Works fine

With the levers, when they are set at half way they are showing in FSUIPC as 16384 just above half way and -16384 just below half way they do not show the whole range.

At first I thought it was the throttle than and got a replacement from Logitech (formerly Saitek), but this proved not to be it.

I can plug them in separately and both work fine, I have also tried on a friends computer and again they work fine.

I have now calibrated all the levers (6) but they still show a positive and negative figure at the half way point.

Have added another set of files if you wouldn't mind taking a look.

Thank you

Craig

Assuming it isn't just that you've not calibrated properly, or have assigned in the Sim, not in FSUIPC, and have some silly slider values there, then that's usually a Saitek installation bug. It is fixable in the Registry. I'm really surprisded they've not fixed that yet.  Take a look at the FAQ subforum. There are entries about that.

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Where are you observing this "showing in FSUIPC as 16384 just above half way and -16384 just below half way"?

And what exactly do you mean by "they do not show the whole range."?

This from the LOG shows it is actually a Registry or installation problem. the two quadrands show totally different ranges for the two of them on the X and Y axes:

Max=R0,U0,V0,X255,Y255,Z255
Max=R0,U0,V0,X127,Y127,Z255

And the INI file shows you've not even calibrated any axis. They are all default values. You should ALWAYS calibrate when assigning direct to calibration, as you have.
