Part of throttle axis is dead for GoFlight TQ6 controls

[jjb]

Hi 

I am running a registered copy of FSUIPC6 (bought 2 weeks ago) installed in P3D version 4.5.1434698.

I have a GoFlight TQ6 throttle quadrant.  When I set up the TQ6 with separate axis for both of the throttles, both of the propitch controls, and both mixture controls, the bottom 1/3 or so of both the throttle levers movement is ignored by the sim.  The Prop and Mix controls work fine as separate axis's.

If I set up the throttle #1 lever as "throttle" only (no separate axis), the movement is fine.

I have calibrated the TQ6 in windows and in P3D's control section.  The movement of all 6 levers is seen as smooth and full range in both places .

Interestingly, the TQ6 worked fine with FSUIPC5 installed in P3D V 4.3.

 

I see this issue has occurred with Saitek controllers but don't know if its the same problem.

Can you please help ?

Thanks in advance

Jeff

By default the separate throttle facility assumes a Reverse zone. If you don't want this be sure you check the NRZ (no reverse zone) option in the calibration tab before calibrating.

FSUIPC5 and 6 are identical in this area. You should have used your FSUIPC5.INI (renamed to FSUIPC6.INI).

Lol - Pretty dumb of me to have missed the No Reverse tab - been 5 years since I did this in V5 I guess.

Works perfectly now ! THANX !

Also thanks for the tip about re-using the old .ini file.  I've just begun re-populating this new P3D install so I'll lose very little to rename/reuse the old file as you suggest.

THANX AGAIN !
