MSFS Throttle Assignments & Calibration - Constant Issues

[MarkW 1,492]

Anyone else have constant issues with the Control assignments in MSFS.

On the Fenix A320, I find I can get everything set up perfectly with a custom profile and a few flights later the "reverse axis" checkbox does not work and I have to uncheck it to work, then next flight, it works again and I have to re-check the box.  I also find the calibration of the Honeycomb goes out after I have it working perfectly in the Fenix, the next thing you know the idle pulls the throttles into reverse, or the slightest forward movement of the throttle (say 10%) pushes the throttles forward to 55%, kind of challenging when trying to taxi the aircraft in a realistic way.

I have tried deleting and moving everything to FSUPC, but no joy.

On the PMDG, I can't use the park brake because fully depressing the brake pedals is not enough to allow release of the parking brake.  Another MSFS annoyance.

Have you tried spad?  Get SPAD.neXt - SPAD.neXt (spadnext.com)

No I have not.  I wonder if I can expect SPAD or Axis and Oh's to offer better solutions than FSUIPC.  I think all of them use an external program to provide the calibration.

SPAD is, for me anyway, a much more intuitive interface for control configuration anyway. And I like the online options a lot - if someone else has already set up a profile for a plane using your controllers, you can just download that instead of having to go through and set it all yourself.

Never an issue and that is thru 3 installs.  I use a TM Boeing Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim.
