I would like to compare notes with an X56 user. I am having some problems with mine in MSFS and would like to see if other users are also.
Your reply would be greatly appreciated. 

I use the HOTAS unit only from an old, broken, Saitek X56 Pro together with a T16000 and the Saitek Combat Rudder pedals.

What can I test for you?

Thanks for your reply. Recently, I think maybe a consequence of SU10, my throttle isn't working properly. When I just touch it it jumps to 50% and then only goes up to 80%. I have 2 of these X56 controllers and they both do exactly the same thing. I went back to P3D to test them there and they work just fine. I have tried every solution I have been able to find online none of them have helped. I even went all the way back to FSX to check my controllers there. In FSX they do the same thing as in MSFS. But they are OK in P3D. Joy.cpl and the X56 Programming/Calibration software show them working correctly. I have not been able to fly any airplane in MSFS since this started

I have a X-56, but no issues currently.

 

Have you deleting and re-binding the throttle axis?

same here, no issues with X-56 Rhino or any other of my throttles.

I have an X-56 ... and I use it with FSUIPC (paid). No problems here - apart from the levers being ludicrously stiff. I may end up opening it up and replacing the grease.

Have you tried recalibrating in the basic (Windows) Controllers Panel? Also, check your Logitech profile to see if the throttles are set up there.

Another thought ... have you got BOTH (left and right) throttles assigned in MSFS? It's possible that your 2nd one isn't - and that's over-riding your 1st.

I have deleted and reset the binding several times. I have recalibrated just as many times. The X56 software and the joy.cpl and control panel all show that the throttles are working perfectly. In the MSFS sensitivities they show working as I described. Left throttle works correctly to 50% then jumps to 100%, right throttle jumps to 50% then sort of correctly to 100%. Tell me where I can find the Logitech Profile and I will check that too. In FSX and P3D I use FSUIPC. Back just before this problem started I had gone back to FSX and P3D to fly some planes I don't have in MSFS. I was thinking that maybe FSUIPC somehow got entangled with my throttle. Last night I went to my FSX and P3D module folders and temporarily removed FSUIPC.DLL files. I am going to go back there today and do some flying without the FSUIPC then back to MSFS to see if that has any effect.

X56 HOTAS works fine here as well.

II have managed to get my throttle to work correctly by doing this: first I Googled Logitech X56 Throttle Clear Calibration Utility. There I found the instructions of how to do it. So I did that then I downloaded the calibration utility DIView. and used that to calibrate my throttle axis. I then went to MSFS to see if there was any change. Everthing was back to normal except the throttle range was 0 to 80%. I haven’t done it yet but I am going to go back to DIView and see if I can correct it. The instructions for using DIView were in a post in MSFS Forum but now I can’t seem to find it. I think it was like this. Select the box for the controller you want to calibrate, then right click in that box and select Raw Data and note the numbers in red, then right click on the box again and choose Calibrate. Put those Raw Data numbers in the fields, check it and that’s it. No need to save.

So, I tried more calibration through various calibrators and could not get the throttles to go to 100%. But through considerable research I found that this is only with the F/A 18, which is the plane I had been doing all this troubleshooting with. To get to 100% you have to hit the afterburner button. All the other aircraft I tested the throttle range was a full 0 to 100%. Apparently I just never noticed that the throttles only went to 80% with the F18. Anyway, it looks like I am back in business. The DIView Calibration tool did tne trick for me.
