FSUIPC Calibration
Posted: 16 Nov 2014, 10:32
About a week ago my PC decided not to talk to my yoke or throttle quadrant, well the cure for that is usually quite simple, unplug them and plug in again.
That got all the buttons working again together with basic flight controls but the throttles had gone completely out of synch.
Over the past week I have tried recalibrating the throttles, both in windows control panel and through FSUIPC, to no avail.
I have tried them on direct to FS, through FSUIPC, every option I can find but I cannot get them to work properly (I even tried restoring a previous version of FSUPC.INI - still didn't do it), so I have two questions.
1) anybody got any wonderful ideas on how to get the darned things working properly again?
2) I am getting a brand new, serious butt kicking, PC in a couple of weeks and I hope to transition permanently to FSX (which uses a different version of FSUIPC) so should I just bite the bullet for two weeks or so and use keyboard throttles meanwhile?
I doubt that it is the throttle quadrant itself at fault, any utility that shows up the actual digital output from them is smooth and progressive, and the quadrant is only eight months old.
