I am in need of a step-by-step procedure to set up FSUIPC for FSX prop aircraft that have "Prop Reverse" capabilities (Cessna Caravan ex.) and using a Thrustmaster controller that has a throttle lever with a "power off" detent and prop reverser positions that works with single or multi-engine aircraft..,   I want to be able set up FSUIPC to apply this only to aircraft I choose as "type" specific.

I appreciate all answers, but please try and keep them in context with my original request.  Far too many go off on tangents that confuse me even more than a 74 yo should be.

Thanks very much.

Please see the FSUIPC4 User Guide.  The "THE EASY STEP-by-STEP WAY TO CALIBRATE YOUR CONTROLS" section starting on page 47 covers this -- scroll down to the third paragraph in "NOTES and EXCEPTION" on page 48.

BTW, I am 76 years old.  74 is not too old to understand whatever you wish and whatever interests you!

To add to what Pete has said, for the above please see the section in the User Guide User profiles for all control settings.

Thanks Messers. Dowson.  I'll give it a try shortly.

One thing I did notice Pete is that my FSUIPC pages run from 1 to 11, not 1 to 6, but I can still find the page that you talk about.

Looks like the documentation needs a minor update as it does refer to 'page 2 of 6', etc, where it should be 'screen 2 of 11' (or maybe just 'screen 2'). The documentation for FSUIPC4 will not be updated, but I'll check and update this for FSUIPC5.

Thanks for pointing this out.
