CH Products Throttle Calibration help...

Featured Replies

For some reason lately my throttle Quadrant seems to be out of calibration. I cannot calibrate it properly. As I advance the 2 throttles, one appears to advance faster than the other. At full reverse and at full throttle, the levers are perfectly lined up. In FSUIPC, Windows calibration and looking at the throttle panel in FS, the 2 levers start and finish at the exact same place - the numbers are the same - but they do not move in sync at all. Same for the other 2 sets of levers. This is causing a bad oscillating/yawing problem in my PMDG B1900C. The plane yaws severly back and forth on takeoff until the prop rpm stabilizes. The prop rpm gauges wobble back and forth in opposition to each other. Can anyone give me some assistance on how to calibrate these so they move at exactly the same rate?It's ruining my takeoffs in FS.Thanks,Adam

I too have this issue. Have spent much time in FSUIPC trying to get them set properly, but no joy. Hope someone has a fix for this!Regards,Joe

I had similar issues and now its working properly. I am at work now and I can remember the exact menus. If you can wait till this Firday..I'll try to post a step by step of what I did. Ofcourse I use FSUIPC as well.If I remember correctly... it went like this.1. within FSim go to Options->Controls->Caliberate Joysticks. and calibriate it from scratch for your throttles. make sure...that everying looks good there. There should not be any Jerky movement in that.2. Go to Options->Controls->Assignment: change the context to joystic/CH Thottle and make sure.. its assigngned properly. In my case The CH Throttle X, Y axis etc was assigned to Aileron and rudder etc and I had to delete them and reassing to the proper levers. 3. This is important: Go to Options->Controls->Sensitivities and set the proper Sensitivity and Null Zones. (I don't have the values right now). I had the greatest trouble with the Mixture levers..For the mixture levers. the Null zone should be 0. No nullzone whatsoever.. Otherwise I had those Jerky movements.On other thing.. I had to go back and check item 2. to make the assignment was not messed up again. It selects the "Reverse" chekced..by itself..I had to uncheck them for some of them.4. Now go to FSUPIC and do its thing. Unless the standard assignments and settings are done properly..the FSUIPC cannot do much by itself. (1-3)Hope this helps.

I'm planning to buy CH Throttle and Yoke next week, but I'd like to know one thing: how does it work with reverse thrust? Is it a simple lever going from 0-100, and then you have say reverse thrust from 0-10, 10 is idle and nullzone, or is there's some "slot" in which you put it for idle and then pull back for reverse...???

Full..then off (at the indent) and reverse (in case of throttle) or feather (in case of props). |---|----------------| R O FWhere R = Reverse (or feather). O = Off and F = Full.

I ment detent, not slot or ident :-) But thanks for the great clarification!
