Hello, 
I am having a problem calibrating my throttle with 10K potentiometers that have been working great.
Now when I take it apart and test each potentiometer (not shown in picture) the potentiometer is healthy and works great, nothing wrong with that.

When I connect it to my BU-036X controller card (not entirely sure of correct name) and try to calibrate it this happens as you see in the photo I attached.
Minimum value is at idle and maximum value in FSUIPC is reached at 20% throttle setting. 
Is there a way to calibrate the potentiometer so it works with FSUIPC in some way and how?
What kind of software to do that in?
The result I get is not realistic and at this point it is impossible to completely setup my throttle.
Please help and save you opinions to yourself.
Thank you in advance.

What does this mean?

The 2nd image shows that FSUIPC is receiving a value of 16242 when the lever is at the 20% position.
What In/Out values do you see in the Axes Assignment tab? What is the value there at the 20% position, and how does that increase as you move the lever further?

How does this axis look in the windows game controllers app? Have you tried calibrating it there?

Hello,
Have been doing some extensive testing of the system tonight and found out that the potentiometers were not correctly connected to the BU-0836U controller board.
Now everything works great.
Thank you for your time.
