Saitek Yoke + 2 throttle Quadrants...?

[Techy111]

Not getting much help from Saitek here folks....The girlfriend bought me a Saitek yoke and x 2 Throttle Quadrants....The seperate throttle Quadrant works as advertised with nice sliding performance from 0 to 100 percent range and is USB....but the one thats plugged into the yoke via the round dim type plug doesn't slide properly...it shows the throttle at 0 percent then only moves when the throttle gets to a 100 percent in the VC pit...????

Tried FSUIPC....same....tried the Saitek SST suite...= crap......any ideas anyone...?

Either this gets chucked out the window or the Girlfriend does....

Hi Tony,

Long time since I fiddled with my setup but vaguely recall a similar problem. I seem to think it was with the calibration/null values.

Cheers John....been trying that aswell....wondering how it works on the USB Throttles but not the attached dim pin Throttles attached to the Yoke...?

Bloody frustrating mate....

I have no problems with mine Tony (but I only have the throttle quad that plugs into the yoke). Are you sure you've assigned the yoke levers as axes correctly in FSX?

If you have the USB quad AND the yoke quad assigned to the same function(s) (i.e. to the same engine/prop or all engines/props) I could see issues arising.

Have you tried assigning just the yoke quad first to see if that works and then adding the USB one afterwards?

Cant halp you at all on this Tony but if your chucking things away

Either this gets chucked out the window or the Girlfriend does

Then I'll have the latter

Tony,

Joystick sensitivities for all axes set correctly in the sim itself? That sometimes causes me the issue you describe with my Saitek setup (same as yours).

Rgds,
