I have run into an operational question which maybe somebody can answer. In assigning Axis on the throttle quadrant to get the blue handled lever to operate Prop RPM, I assigned the lever "X

rotational" in the Control Axis tab. That worked. However, assigning the red lever to "Mixture Axis" using "Y rotational ", did not get any response from that lever in my Carenado V35 Bonanza. I had to use "Mixture Axis Engine 1" to get the lever to actuate the control on the panel. Of course, this is OK on a single engine aircraft, but on a twin, it is useless as it only activates one engine, unlike the Prop control lever which does control both props on the DC-3. Would like to know if there is a work around for this other than having to buy another throttle quadrant for multiple engine prop aircraft.

 

 

Thanks

hello

it is possible with fsuipc. Buy it, you won't regret it

it is possible with fsuipc.

 

Is there any guide anywhere on just how to configure FSUIPC to do this? I have a registered version.

There is a manual installed in the modules folder with FSUIPC. It will explain virtually everything. Most is pretty self explanatory. To assign to multiple engines, you just need to select "mixture" from the axis assignment menu (not "mixture1" or "mixture2" which would be for seperate engines). You can go through calibration to ensure it works and there are options if you have two mixture levers to map "mixture1" for engines 1 and 2 with "mixture2" for engines 3 and 4 to use with 4 engine aircraft.

Excellent. Thank you.

There is also this guide which is valid for the saitek stuff as well

Much appreciated. This goes to my bookmarks.

 

Thanks

you are welcome

 

That guide goes beyond what you are asking for but is very useful and in my opinion easier to understand than the FSUIPC manual (I am a bit thick...).
