Calibration USFPC6 P3d V4.5 Prosim 737

[TimothyPilot]

I apologise if this issue has been raised before.

I am running Open Cockpits Yoke, Rudder pedals and Tiller and I am now struggling to calibrate all through FSUIPC6. The movement is detected in FSUIPC but the ranges appear to be wrong. For instance, the aileron range is from around -12,568 to +8450, with the centre at around -1640. The other controls also appear to be out of the expected range. In addition, the rudder pedals register but the rudder guage in the lower EICAS doesn't move and doesn't appear to work on the aircraft.

When I start the aircraft, it is impossible to make it move in a straight line, it veers sharply to the left and moving the tiller applies the differential brakes, even though it is registered as 'tiller' in FSUIPC.

The controls are disabled in P3d and I am running on Windows 11.

Doeas anyone have any ideas please?

Many thanks

If that is what FSUIPC sees, that is what windows is reporting.
First, try calibrating under windows (game controllers). That will determine the values that FSUIPC sees.
But if that is the range you see in the assignments panels, you can calibrate those to the full range using FSUIPC's calibration facilities. Better to assign using 'Send direct to FSUIPC calibration', but you may also be able to calibrate when using 'Send to FS as normal axis' (although I am not sure about this when using ProSim).

Also, please check in ProSim. I don't use ProSim (although Pete does, the original author of FSUIPC)m but was under the impression that ProSim provides its own assignment and calibration facilities these days, so you may be worth switching to them, or at least checking that they are not interfering.

Ask about this on the ProSim forums (or maybe try a different rudder axis control to see if that helps).

Many thanks for your reply John, I will try those suggestions.

The controllers were working previously but with windows 10 so I wonder if they are not compatible with 11. I have asked Open Cockpits to confirm.

I am very grateful for your quick reply.
