DHC-3T throttle/prop/condition levers won't map to axes

[bbuckley 133]

I've tried for two days but I can't get the VC throttle lever to move at all. The prop and condition levers I can move by mouse only. No matter what I do I can't get the levers to move using the saitek throttle q. I've overcome an initial installation error when installing XMLTools and now the proper entry is in the DLL.xml file. I carefully edited the controllers.xml file to enable and map the throttle & prop axes. In my registered FSUIPC5 I have tried both assigning and not assigning the axes with send to FS as normal axis but no joy. I read the manual and have searched forums. If anyone can help with the controller issue, I'd appreciate it. I've posted a similar post in the official MILVIZ DHC-3T support forum.

Thanks,

Bruce

Just to close this out for others info...

The Milviz installer for XMLTools64.dll constantly gave an error of file and folder not found but it did install XMLTools64.dll into the main P3D folder. It did not edit the %appdata% DLL.xml file to add the appropriate entry so I entered it myself. I entere.d it incorrectly by referencing "XMLTools.dll" as opposed to "XMLTools64.dll". After editing to add the "64" everything worked fine. Took 3 weeks to discover the issue...  I would have hoped that Milviz support would have been able to point me to that from the error msg screenshots I sent them and knowing that the throttle movement depended on a calling XMLTools64.dll, but sadly they were no help.
