Aerosoft Airbus X

Hello, Is there anyone out there who has been able to get their throttle to work properly with this aircraft. I have been to the Aerosoft support forum for the Airbus X and there are a number of threads explaining how to set up a throttle with this aircraft but I am having no luck. I am using a Saitek AV8R-01 joystick and I have tried using my Saitek throttle quadrant also with the same results. I have a registered copy of FSUIPC and have used the LAU scripts. When using FSUIPC or the FSX controls, I can get the throttle to move but when I pull the throttle back to idle, the engine thrust never goes below 73%. If I use FSUIPC and the LAUs, I can't calibrate the joystick at all. It's frustrating not to be able to use an airplane that you paid for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
