Boy am I having trouble trying to calibrate this ch quadrant with the ch control manager! Is it better to just use the FSX control settings? I have engines that will not start and some will. CTL E will not even start engines. The throttles are jerky, moving on their own on some aircraft. Please help. I had this problem long time ago but I don't remember how I solved the problem. My OS crashed and I had to re- calibrate Yoke, Peddles and Quadrant.

You don't say if you have the CH Manager software installed. I would recommend that you do and run it in "DIRECT" mode this allows you to set a null zone for reverse thrust on the throttles. You then need to open FSX and remove all duplicate axes assignments from all of your game controllers. You can then assign the axes that YOU want to the TQ but make sure FSX doesn't assign duplicates next time you open FSX. In FSX settings make sure for every axis that the sensitivity is set FAR RIGHT (100%) and the Null Zone (FAR LEFT 0%) for all axes. You can then calibrate in Windows and you should be good to go. If you want reverse thrust the easiest way is to use FSUIPC4 - disable all TQ axes in FSX and assign ONLY in FSUIPC4 and then calibrate in FSUIPC4. In the windows calibration window you need to set the Detent value to 240 and the Dead zone to 4 see under throttle settings for any throttle that you assign to an axis. This will mean if you use FSUIPC4 the start of reverse thrust will be at the detent on the TQ. See pic belowThis is the best method I have seen for installing the TQ using FSUIPC: http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/CH_...ith_FSUIPC.pdfThis is what I wrote on the CH Hangar forum about reverse thrust: I have found that the easiest way to get reverse thrust in the TQ is to use CHCM in DIRECT mode and you then get this attached screen Above) in Windows: In windows, you can then set the detent value for throttles 1 and 2 to 240 and the Dead Zone to 4. After calibration in Windows you can then start the Flight Sim open FSUIPC to fine tune the settings, and the detent value of the TQ will be at minimum thrust - you can set a small value in FSUIPC before reverse thrust (a dead zone) starts proper. (This way sets via the axis rather than using a button command.) Its all explained in the pdf above. Avoid duplicate allocation of axes at all costs and ensure that the snsitivity in the SIM is full right and the null zone is full left.RegardsPeterH

Pete thank you so much for your detailed instructions. I find out the older I get (60) I need more instructions. This is what I was looking for. I will bookmark this page so that I'll have it for future reference. Thanks again Pete.
