yankeeclipper Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 When I go to the calibration dialog (Cowl Flaps, e.g. but same regardless of axis assignment) without hitting the "set" button (Axis not processed) the input still matches the output. +/- 16k. If I hit "set" the input is still full range but the output will only vary from +16k to zero. No negative values in output. This means FSUIPC calibrates to the top half of my device only, the bottom half of my input device is unusable (a lever, in the case of my Saitek quadrant, though same result with Bravo Quadrant). I have tried various settings such as mapping to FSUIPC calibration and to FS as normal axis. No change there. Same with "Filter" I am using: Alpa Yoke, Bravo Quadrant, Logitech Radio Panel, Saitek pedals and Quadrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 This depends on what axis control you are assigning to. For the Cowl Flaps, from the MSFS documentation: COWLFLAP1_SET Sets engine 1 cowl flap lever position (0 to 16383) Shared Cockpit COWLFLAP2_SET Sets engine 2 cowl flap lever position (0 to 16383) Shared Cockpit COWLFLAP3_SET Sets engine 3 cowl flap lever position (0 to 16383) Shared Cockpit COWLFLAP4_SET Sets engine 4 cowl flap lever position (0 to 16383) Shared Cockpit So those axis only accept values from 0 to 16383. There you calibrate so that a -16383 input sends a 0 output, and a 16383 input sends a 16383 output (and a 0 input would send 8192 as output). 17 hours ago, yankeeclipper said: This means FSUIPC calibrates to the top half of my device only, the bottom half of my input device is unusable (a lever, in the case of my Saitek quadrant, though same result with Bravo Quadrant). No. It means the whole axis range (-16383 to + 16383) is calibrated to send the full axis range of 0 to 16383. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeclipper Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 No. It means that I need to enable "No Reverse Zone" so that the mappings don't get confused and map the minimum value with things like IDLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't understand. What has this got to do with, for example, Cowl flaps? Reverse zone only applies to throttle/thrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
