Hey guys,

 

So I've had FSX for about a day now. I have the whole Pro Flight set up from Saitek (Yoke, Pedals, Two Throttle Quadrants). I have the two quadrants lined up side by side to fly airliners. At the moment I am set up to fly a 4 engine aircraft (left lever - speed breaks, 4 inner levers - throttles, and right lever - flaps). I noticed that when I move the flaps down with the quadrant, the actual flaps in the simulator don't start extending until I am about half way down the quadrant. Not sure what's going on.

 

I am using FSUIPC to configure everything. I have the speed breaks and flaps set to reverse because of realistic settings.

 

Hope you can help! : )

 

Thanks,

Hi fam0612,

 

Just having a read of your post and I've had a few issues myself, 

having overcome the problems I've had,

 

I would suggest that inside the FSUIPC menu there is an option to calibrate the joystick i'm sure it's labeled "joystick calibration"

 

inside this sub-menu you will be able to select the Max & Min range for your axis, this will be the same area that you chose to select the REV axis for the realism

 

once you have found the axis you want to "tune" you will want to put the lever to the Max and click on the corresponding "set" button, (one direction on your axis is - negative numbers the other positive)

 

once you have the axes tuned, this should overcome the problem you are having

 

If not let me know

Hi Paddy,

 

Yes I was aware of this feature. Thanks for the suggestion though! I am currently just keeping the lever at half way (sets the flaps to zero). But if there is eventually a fix, that would be great to know about.

Hi Frank, 

 

Reading your post, confuses me a little, with regards to fsuipc your flaps axis is set to 'REV' reverse?

 

if you wish we could go to teamviewer and i could help you solve the problem, i'm sure it will be an easy enough fix

 

Regards,

Paddy
