July 5, 20187 yr EVERY calibration source on my PC shows the throttle sliders on the Logitec Proflight Yoke are perfect. I checked both in P3Dv3 and P3Dv3 as well as in Printers and devices. Same for the Quadrant. But in either sim the first two (throttle) axes will not follow the joystick: they jump to full throttle/half throttle/etc. One of them may work properly while the other jumps to idle/full/mid/etc. I removed the system from the register, re-programmed the axes in the sims, changed USB hubs, Uninstalled , and anything else that crossed my mind. The throttles still do not respond properly in: majestic q400, Maddogx, ERJ(all), PMDG 737, and probably others that I have not checked. At this point I am at a loss and am asking: should I reinstall the sims, just the planes, Win 7 Ultimate? Help please Neal Howard
July 5, 20187 yr Moderator Neal - have you considered/tried mapping your devices through FSUIPC? Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
July 6, 20187 yr Author Greetings Vic: I have tried FSUIPC several times for calibration only but without mu ch success. Today I will disable the controls and try to work through the full FSIUPC procedure. The explanation seems a bit confusing with that initial bit ("move press button, move a little ,press" etc). One might think I'm getting old 😞 Neal H Neal Howard
July 6, 20187 yr Moderator You? OLD? Naw - I'M old. Just take it slowly. Are you using this as a guide - https://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/SIMSAMURAI+FSUIPC+TUTORIAL.pdf I completely disabled all my controllers in P3D and map everything through FSUIPC. Takes a bit of time but once you get the hang of it, it's a cinch to maintain. I have CH yoke, CH Rudders, CH Throttle Quadrant, Saitek X55 Rhino Stick & Throttle all connected and FSUIPC switches between them with no issues. Read up on the Profiles section - that's the main strength of FSUIPC IMHO. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
July 6, 20187 yr Calibration will not cure a noisy or worn pot...if it's worn/dirty that can cause the values to jump around. If that's the problem you'd need to replace the pot or the entire controller. Another possibility could be your USB port can't sink enough current to keep the voltages stable, in which case connecting the joystick via a powered USB hub would probably fix that. A few years back I had a motherboard that needed a powered hub to keep my USB HID controllers stable. You might also try plugging the yoke into a different USB port (preferably one not coming off the same motherboard hub, i.e. moving to a front-panel USB connection from the back).
