December 7, 201015 yr first of all, great work on the js41!but 2 things are still buging me:- does someone know how to properly setup the saitek throtles, so you can use reverse thrust and fuel shutoff?everything works for basic flying, but i cant use reverse thrust nor shutoff (if i dont do it via mouse)ive tried seting "reduce power quickly" on the bottom button of the leaverwhich works for most aircrafts, but on the js41 it doesnt seem to do anythingive tried seting it via fsuipc, but i didnt get all too far thereif i try handling the reverse thrust with the mouse i usually blow the engines =/- is it just me, or dont the taxy lights iluminate the taxy way?when i switch on the taxy lights, it seems as if nothing changedwhile the landing lights flood everything with lightthank you Mike Karlsky
December 7, 201015 yr Hi there,First of all You must sign Your post with full real name per forum rules, otherwise You might find Your posts deleted.ad1: You'll need FSUIPC, reverse trust is not coded into J41.ad2: Check Your monitor settings, when mine is in "Movie Mode" I don't see taxi lights either, but in any other mode they're there, they're just not as strong as in other aircrafts.
December 8, 201015 yr I'm pretty sure I had reverse thrust working with the 41 before setting up my hardware with FSUIPC and I just googled how to set up reverse thrust with a saitek throttle. But yeah FSUIPC is your best bet Gavin Price
December 8, 201015 yr It could be done, if Your hardware driver supports featureless like dividing axis into zones, then assigning functions to those zones.
December 8, 201015 yr I've just assigned F2 tot the reverse buttons on my saitek throttle: works just like with other planes.Edit: and assigned F1 when reverse button is released (through FSUIPC).
December 8, 201015 yr The Saitek throttle quadrant has a reverse region. Just pull the throttle below the detent (you can feel it) and set that region for Reverse Thrust. The JS has a shut down procedure that is not done using fuel shutoff by pulling mixture levers back. I use the mouse to press the "Stop" buttons but I'm lazy. FSUIPC should make it easy to do.

December 8, 201015 yr Author i dont get that with the name, as it can be quite a secority hazzard for some people, but be my guesti have FSUIPC installed, which i also wrote in my first postbut i cant find a way to set it up for recerse thrusti tried mouse-macros and joystick assignmentsbut neither would worki tried the fuel leavers after clicking the two round buttons bellow them with the mouse (wouldnt work)ill try that with F1 and F2PS: saitek throtles dont have a reverse region, its only a further button per leaver Mike Karlsky
December 8, 201015 yr ive tried seting "reduce power quickly" on the bottom button of the leaverwhich works for most aircrafts, but on the js41 it doesnt seem to do anythingIt works fine with the G940 throttle. I've set "throttle decrease quickly" (F2) and "Throttle increase" (F3) on buttons T1 and T2:http://lanoc.org/images/stories/Reviews/logitech_g940/IMG_9511_lanoc.jpgMake sure that the key mapping is the same in both the Saitek Profiler and FSX.Test it with your keyboard. If it works then some profiler adjustment should do it.Just don't use the throttle when moving back from reverse to beta because FSX overshoots the thrust and really cooks the engines.
December 11, 201015 yr Author great it works! thank you guys!ive now set reduce power quickly on the 1st leaver and stop power on the 2nd leaverand even with full powered reverse thrust, the engines can be idled with the 2nd leaverwithout blowing the engines (quite amazingly)every time i tried it with the mouse i blew the engines =)couldnt get the fuel shutoff working thoughbut as its only used rather rarely (compared to reverse thrust)i think i can manage with doing that by mouse Mike Karlsky
