Flying 4 Engine Props in Twin Engine Prop Cockpit ??

Featured Replies

Hi all..I currently have my cockpit modelled after a King Air 300 with twin throttles, prop and mixtures....6 levers in allSometimes I like to fly the C130 and this ha 4 engines. The trouble is when I load that plane I have to use 4 of my 6 levers to run the engines.Is there any way you can set the aircraft up to have the following:Left 2 engines - work with first throttle leverRight 2 engines - work with second throttle leverLeft 2 engines feathering - work with 3rd leverRight 2 engines feathering - work with 4th leverLeft 2 engines fuel - work with 5th leverRight 2 engines fuel - work with 6th leverMy levers in my cockpit are different lengths between throttle, prop and mixture and its a pain to have to move 4 levers to work the 4 throttles in the C130 modelAnythoughts anyone ? ...many thanks...JB

This can be done with Pete Dawson's FSUIPC. I guess you would need the registered version. It has a function were you can map the throttle, prop and mixture 1+2 or 1+2+3+4 (for those who only have a three axis quadrant) to one axis.Alex

Look more closely in the "Joystick" page. And note the small arrows on top which lets you page through "sub-pages" in the dialog. On the page where you can calibrate engine 1-4 stuff, you have a checkbox to map engines (1,2) into 1 and engines (3,4) into 2.//Tuomas

I am right there and I don't see that.I am on Joysticks-->3 of 11 Seperate throttles per engineI see Throttle 1....Throttle 4I see box for 'filter' . Don't know what that is.I see a box rev..don't know what that is.I see a box for Exclude THROTTLEn SET. Don't know what that is.Hmm.... I have FSUIPC Version 3.5 30th August 2005I downloaded the 3.52 and the same thing.MannyOK..When I toggle the Set/Reset button..I get the Map 1->12, 2->3 under the Throttle 3 and Throttle 4All I can do is select them...but how do I say...sync iot to a specific throttle?
