No all the other twins seem to work just fine.Thomas

I wish I had the Mstic Dash 8 looks pretty good , but I have the PSS Dash 8.ThanksThomas

When programing the FMC for the decent, does inputing data into the FORCAST page have any effect or is it just eye candy?Thomas

I use FS9 with saitek throttle quadrand two of them. When I asign throttles to two seperate levers engine 2 acts erratic, surging to max power then back then back up again. Usually going from 80% torque up or down. If I progran both throttles to one lever all is well. Anyone know why?The prop controls are assigned 2 levers and work just fine as do the flaps.Any assistance would be appreciated.Thomaslaowai45 (at) yahoo.com

I have two saitek quads also and after a lot of headaches I finally have them working fine.My mistake was plugging the 2 quads into a USB HUB. THe hub was causing I guess noise or spikes on the lines so I removed them from the HUB and plugged them directly into the computer. Now no irratic problems with the quadrants.I program the axis in fs9 and then calibrate them in a registered copy of fsuicp.I have set up for the pmdg 747 4 throttles, level d and pmdg 737's. I just keep the 2 extra throttles at the top of the quadrant if I am in the 2 engine jets. To assign reverse on the throttles, you have to use the button assignment of the fsucip. After the detent of the throttles levers is actually a switch that you can program. So when the throttles are in detent the engines idle, if I pull the levers through the detent the REV function comes on.One problem with the reversers on the level d. I also programed one of the toggle switches to deploy the spoiler, if you dont do it correcty the spoiler depoys and causes the engines to go into REV.Although saitek documentation for the quads is NON EXISTANT...having been a simmer for quite a while allowed me finally get them configured.If you have questions about this you can contact me at [email protected]

Any chance you fellows will get the dimmer to work. It gets pretty dark in the 2d cockpit.Thomas
