FSUIPC throttle control for dummies


Recommended Posts

I searched for some time and apologies if foolproof instructions are to find anywhere yet. 

 

I can't get FSUIPC to be set up properly to allow my Saitek X52 throttle to go into reverse. Tried all recommendations but there must be something I miss. 

 

Any volunteer out there who wants to try explaining it?

 

Thanks

I am not familiar with the x52, but I do know that sometimes there has to be some buffer between the physical stop of the throttle and the aircraft simulated idle. This is critical in the case of a button having been programmed for reverse throttle. So, in FSUIPC, move the throttle all the way to idle, than move it up 5-10 degrees, and click the "idle" button in the calibration window. For example, if FSUIPC shows a range between -64000 and +64000, which represent the full travel of the throttle lever,  by moving the throttle up until one of the two numbers is smaller and then clicking the "idle" button, you are essentially creating a virtual idle for the sim.
