June 21, 20223 yr I have the Boeing TCA pack with one Throttle quadrant which works satisfactorily in P3d with two engine aircraft such as the PMDG 737/777 using the P3d axes for the throttles and FSUIPC to set max reverse thrust with the reverser toggles. With lack of space for a second quadrant, for the PMDG 747-400, is there a way to assign the left throttle handle to engines 1&2 and the right throttle handle to engines 3&4? From what I can see within P3d, each axis can only be assigned to one function at a time. Any help appreciated. Luke Spencer
June 21, 20223 yr From the FSUIPC User's Guide: If you have twin throttle levers and you’d like to control left wing engines and right wing engines separately on both 2 and 4-engined places, then make sure both throttles are operating correctly with twin planes then go to the third page of the Joystick controls in FSUIPC, the one showing 4 throttles. Calibrate throttles 1 and 2 then check the option “Map 1->12, 2->34”. This will do the job. The mapping only occurs when a 4-engined aircraft is loaded. This facility also applies to the mixture and propeller pitch levers.

June 21, 20223 yr Author Hi Bob Thanks for the refresh on information re. FSUIPC, which I was aware of for four engines. As mentioned above, I'm not actually using FSUIPC for the throttle axes themselves, only for the reversers. The reason for this is that I was unsuccessful trying to get it actually working. I believe I understood basically what I was doing but the result (just with two engines) always seemed to be that throttles didn't move with the position of the levers and had a mind of their own. There seemed to be no logic at all, regardless of what settings I used, so I reverted back to P3d axes. A couple of questions with this in mind: 1. Is there any way of achieving 'double' engine control without using FSUIPC? 2. If using FSUIPC, might anyone who has the Boeing quadrant working successfully have a screen shot of the relevant pages that I would need to program? Presumably if I can get this working for two engines, the process to extend it as per your message to four should be straightforward. Thanks again for your help. Luke Spencer
January 11, 20242 yr Sorry for the necro but anything? In fsuipc I set throttle 1 as 'throttle 1&2' and throttle 2 as 'throttle 3&4.' Nothing.
