Blaster254 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 If this has been asked before, my apologies and please point me in the right direction. mad simole as I can put it. PMDG 747. I have the saitek yoke and additional throttles. All four engines are assigned. Reversers in the buttons settings. The issue is whenever copying setting for another 747 or starting a new flight. Throttle 4 is the culprit. The calibration is out and automatically has reversers set even at idle. If I try to use the calibration page, it gives up completely. Now the interesting thing is that after landing, harmony is once again restored and it works fine. I’ve had this issue for ages. Tried to figure it out. I cannot. If I could get some help please Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please attach your FSUIPC6.ini file so that I can see your settings. Also a log file showing your issue would be useful, with logging for Events and Axis controls enabled. The log file will probably be quite large so will need compressing/zipping. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaster254 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Here's the ini file. What i meant by another is when i copy the settings to another PMDG 747. Thank you for looking at this. Much appreciated. Will forward a log file as soon as one is compiled. Kind regards Ryan FSUIPC6.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would you want to do this? Why do you have several profiles for the 747? You only need separate profiles if the controls/assignments are different - they should be the same in all 747 variants, so you should only need one profile. Usually you would add an aircraft to an aircraft profile rather than creating a new profile. And rather than adding each livery, you should change the names used in the profile section, so if you change: Quote [Profile.D-ABYC] 1=PMDG 747-8 Lufthansa (D-ABYC | 2012) to Quote [Profile.D-ABYC] 1=PMDG 747-8 then that would match all 747-8 aircraft, or you could change to Quote [Profile.D-ABYC] 1=PMDG 747 to match all 747s, and you can even add the 757 as that looks to be the same: Quote [Profile.D-ABYC] 1=PMDG 747 2=757-200 There are slight differences in rudder/steeringtiller assignments, but I would have thought this should be the same for all 747 variants... Similarly, you probably only need one profile for the 777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thank you so much. That makes sense. I assume by creating multiple profiles they are possibly conflicting? FSUIPC6.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster254 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 And no I didnt want to do this but always have done. Oopsie! On it. One last Question. Should I delete the profiles in the INI and start fresh? It wont take long if i have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaster254 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think I've done it right if you wouldn't mind having a quick look FSUIPC6.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they shouldn't conflict as only one (the first match found) will ever be used. Just makes things a lot easier, and by using aircraft substrings, the same aircraft with different liveries will also match, and so saves you having to add an aircraft to a profile when you are using a different livery. 56 minutes ago, Blaster254 said: I think I've done it right if you wouldn't mind having a quick look Looks a lot better/cleaner, with one profile for the PMDG 737/777 and 757, and another for the PMDG 747. Note that you were previously also assigning the steering tiller to the same axis as the rudder (which is common) but only in some of your old profiles, You may want to consider addung this back to both of your current profiles.
