Saitek Throttle Quadrant - MSFS

[TSR2]

Hi chaps,

I dug out my old Saitek throttle quadrant last night to try it in MSFS. When I Calibrate it in the “joystick control panel” in Windows, it’s fine, but in MSFS, the X and Y axis behave like a switch. Z is detected correctly. When I move X or Y forward it’s “on”, backwards it’s “off”.

Are any of you using one of these in MSFS? Is there a trick to setting it up?

Thanks

Hi Ben I still use the Saitek quadrant, but only the 2 outer levers, for flaps and speed brakes. Throttle is taken care of with the Thrustmaster Airbus quadrant. It works fine for me in Msfs. I can check the bindings I use and get back. I think it's the 0 - 100% one, but not sure

Cheers Dale. I use the HOTAS throttle, but thought I’d try the quadrant and assign 1+2 to X and 3+4 to Y, then use Z for the speed-brake. This used to work in FSX and P3D, but for whatever reason MSFS, while allowing me to assign X & Y as axis, treats them like a switch. Really odd.

No its not the 0-100 % axis. I use that one on the thrustmaster.
Dont see why the same axis cant work with the throttles

You don't have any other throttle bindings do you
While preparing the control menu to take the screenshot, I found several more bindings for flaps and speed brakes for the non existent Tca quadrant add on. The Tca must populate the control menu itself on initial plug in. I wonder why the flaps and speed brakes are sometimes weird

Found this thread… The guy used DIViewer to change the range and it works a treat. Looks like a great utility actually.
