Saitek Dual Throttle Quadrant issue

Featured Replies

I just added a second Saitek throttle quadrant and when I match lever positions on both throttles, I do not get the same engine rpm's. THe new quadrant requires about a 1/3 of inch more lever travel to match the thrust setting of the old quadrant When I checked FSUIPC, I noticed that the values for the max and minimum range for the new throttle are less than the older throttle, which leads me to believe that the newer quadrant has lower resolution potentiometers. Does anyone else experience this issue?EDIT: I should have place this in the computer hardware forum, my apologies. Would a moderator be willing to move this thread please? Thank you.

HelloYou can use Fsuipc to sync the levers, see the FSUIPC users guide page 52Here is the first paragraph.CALIBRATING MULTIPLE THROTTLE, PROP & MIXTURE AXES TO "LINE UP" The 4 throttle, 4 prop pitch and 4 mixtures pages all feature a button, centre bottom of the display, labelled "Sync Pos". This is used to help you calibrate multiple axes, for 2–4 engines, so that they are close to lining up, in similar positions, when providing the same input values (thrust or whatever) to Flight Sim.
