Programing Thrustmaster Boeing Throttle Quadrant

[RHoyler]

I am having trouble programing the autopilot rotary knob that controls airspeed, heading and altitude. My issue is setting up the compound assignment.  FSUIPC is showing the event in the log but nothing is happening in the simulator.

What aircraft are you using? Can you please show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files. As a new forum user, you will have a low upload limit, so you may need to compress/zip the files, or use a file-sharing service. Your upload limit will increase the more you post.

Good morning, 

I am using Fsuipc6 in P3Dv5 simulator. My plane is the PMDG737 NGXu.  Thank you for responding, I will send my files shortly.

When using PMDG aircraft, many if the standard FS controls won't work - you need to use the PMDG custom controls - see

John,

Here is a copy of my ini and log file. My ini file is really jacked up because I have been attempting to program and just left it like it was last night.  I am also going to try and send you of the throttle quadrant showing the knob in question. Thank you again for your assistance.

No need. A knob us just a collection of buttons (usually either 1 or 2 in each direction) or an axis. From your ini, your knobs use buttons.

Please see my previous reply. You have assigned to the standard FS controls. For PMDG aircraft, use the custom controls.
Try logging events (with the logging console open) and turn the knob/knobs you want to replicate. You should see Rotor Brake controls logged with the parameter indicating the function and mouse control applied. You can also use/assign to these - to use the PMDG custom controls via the Rotor Brake control, see 

That is deprecated as the other method (via custom control numbers) is preferred, but it is still valid and maybe easier to use for inc/dec assignments (which usually correspond to left/right mouse-clicks on the VC control).

Hey John,

I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for pointing me in the right direction to get my throttle quadrant knob programmed.  It works great. 

Thank you
