January 4, 201214 yr Hi,I am new to this forum, and pretty new to fsx also (4 month).I just bought a second throttle quadrant to get into multi engine airplanes. Configuration went well in terms of configuring the levers. Everything is fine so far. Now i want to configure the two mixture axis to cut off fuel in full reverse position. I want FSX to cut off fuel on engine I, when i move mixture axis 1 back into full reverse. And a second key bind for engine 2. But FSX does only offer one key bind to cut off fuel on both engines. Same with the prop levers and respective feather.After searching about 2 hours with no result, i chose to ask that question here. Much thats for any ideas how to achive this! Sry for my bad english.Greetz lloony
January 4, 201214 yr You are probably going to want to get the program called FSUIPC. That will let you assign and bind your controls. Check it out at simmarket.com.
January 6, 201214 yr What controllers are you using?I have a pair of Saitek quadrants that I have programmed straight from FSX, and all levers work as you would expect. Best Regards,Robert Kerr 3D Modeler & Texture Artist
January 17, 201214 yr Author Thanks for all answers.I would prefer to configure everything from FSX directly if possible.@N2056:The levers work perfectly. I can control prop mixture and thrust on a multi engine aircraft. What i cant do is to get the "reverse pos" on my prop levers to feather either engine one or engine two. Also i cant program the two mixture lever's "reverse pos" to act as two seperate fuel cutoff switches. I dont think that FSX can handle that config and i need to switch to FSUIPC. Correct me if i am wrong.
January 17, 201214 yr You can use separate levers for each engine, up to four engines, Loony. Go to Settings -> Controls -> Control Axes: select your multi-axis controller, look down and there's Engine 1 mixture axis, Engine 1 propeller axis, Engine 1 throttle axis, followed by Engine 2.... etc..,I have a six-pack analogue lever setup, and use Engine 1 & 2 mixture axes for the Maddog fuel cut-off levers, with Engine 1 & 2 throttles and a flap lever on that one controller. Works just fine.Sorry I can't help with the feathering issue - I don't have anything turboprop... i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
