September 15, 200916 yr I have the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke system (Yoke+Throttle Quadrant) with an additional throttle quadrant which gives me six levers in total. I usually fly twin engine turbo props so this is perfect for me. I have owned this system for a few months now and once I got it all configured and tuned with FSUIPC they have worked fine but starting from today the two middle levers (prop pitch) are acting very strange: The VC prop pitch levers sit the max position regardless of the physical lever positions. When I start moving the Saitek prop pitch levers the VC equivalent moves also but flickers between my physical lever's input and max. When I stop moving the Saitek prop pitch the VC levers settles back at max.I have checked axis calibration in the Saitek setup (Windows control panel) as well as in FSUIPC (FSX control management is disabled) and everything looks just fine. The animated "diagrams" in the Saitek control panel changes smoothly with the movement of the levers and the numbers in FSUIPC looks steady as ever. It's just in the FSX VC that things get weird. I have examined several airplanes (twins) and they all display the same behavior.I'm clueless right now. Does anyone have any idea on what to look for?Cheers/Jonas ----------------------------------------------------- i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz; 6Gb DDR3; Windows 7 Ultimate x64; Sim disk=300Gb 10,000rpm (VelociRaptor); OS disk=300Gb 7,200rpm Radeon HD 4870 X2; Audigy 2 ZS; Dual monitors=24" Dell Widescreen (TFT) & 19" BenQ (TFT) FSX Acceleration

Then try reprogramming your controls for a twin and see if the issue corrects itself. By chance you haven't been switching the ports your controllers are plugged into have you? Windows sometimes has a way of getting itself stupid.

Windows sometimes has a way of getting itself stupid.I did as you suggested and it seems to have solved the problem. Hopefully the problem doesn't return.
