November 24, 200916 yr Hi All,For some reason my throttle quadrant calibrates fine in windows and in the CH Control Manager but when I go into FS9 and load my plane - twin engine Navajo Panther - the throttle levers advance at different rates, the prop controls are also out of whack and only one mixture works. It was working fine before but suddenly screwed up.I have uninstalled and reinstalled both controllers and made sure all the assignments are correct. I'm also using Peter D's FSUIPC and some of the readings show different numbers in the 'reset' sections and this is with both levers advanced to full. Please see pics.Im at a loss and could really use some help.Thanks in advance.Adam

It works perfect in the CH manager, perfect with FSX, but FS9 I don't get it. I will post tonight the specifics of the problem to see if some one has any insight.

I will post tonight the specifics of the problem to see if some one has any insight.Actually, I managed to get it back somewhat by playing with the controller sensitivities. I don't know how, but they seemed to go out of whack. Once I played with them a bit it was much better. I have to do some 'fine tuning' in FSUIPC now.Thanks for the response.Adam
November 29, 200916 yr Hi Katanapilot,FSX has defaults for the CH Quad in the master copy of the standard.xml file. FS9 pre-dates the quad and so it treats it like a 4 axis "Generic" stick by default. X/Y on the first two levers, Rudder, Throttle, etc. You just need to go into the FS Control Assigments dialog and reset the axes and button in FS9. You should also check the Sensitivity and Null Zone sliders in both version. FS has a tendency to set at least one axis to 0%. It will assign it just fine, but it has no effect in the sim.
