For months - I have had to use a joystick (T.master Hotas) with PD3 because it just refuses to let me use Saitek Yoke

with Control levers for Throttle  Prop  and Mixture.

Each time I try to set up the system - PD3 insists that the axis Z is for the throttle and I cannot use my Pedals (Tmaster)

I find it ridiculous that I have to use a Joystick in a GA simulator  - and not a Yoke  - even for a heavy jet eg 747

I recently decided to move over to XP 11 - because it immediately recognises both Yoke and pedal set up - 

but feel frustrated because I have so much Orbx for the PD3

Any helpful suggestions??

While agree that your problem is pretty annoying I don't see anything ridiculous about this, since even the way bigger A380 is using a 'joystick', as is the C-17, the Falcon 7X, most aerobatic airplanes, many GA airplanes etc.

 

Is that you tried but can't re-assign the axis, or you just don't know that you need to?

Have you tried fsuipc?

Have you tried under "Options" ->"Other" in P3D and switched RAW input with DXinput? That's what I have to do when running Warthog Hotas and switching out with CH yoke and CH throttle controls. Other wise I have trouble with CH pedals when switching those two sets of controls. Sometimes when I switch Raw and DXinput you lose your assignments, but you should only have to do it once (if it fixes you problem)
