Attention: Upcoming Axis Calibration Config

Post by JonathanBleeker » Mon Dec 23, 2019 10:58 pm

Note that axis controls cannot be assigned in the MVAMS Axis calibration window. The Device and Axis selection is simply for aiding in setting the various axis positions. Controls must still be assigned in P3D or FSUIPC.

If assigned in P3D, axis invert must be unchecked once assignments are made in the MVAMS, but should be checked in P3D if necessary.

If assigned in FSUIPC, no calibration must be applied. Axis invert can be assigned in the MVAMS.

To set a particular position, choose your device and axis, then move said axis until it reaches the desired position (a dark grey bar will indicate it on the MVAMS) and then click the desired button. A colored line will appear at the end of the bar.

Note that the system is based on bottom limits. Going below the beta line will put you in reverse and going below low idle will start to bring into the cutoff range. The max reverse/power/prop and feather/high idle/cutoff positions are the end points and cannot be exceeded.

Am I missing something here? I have no Axis Calibration window in the MVAMS. Can somebody tell me how to access?

Hi Milviz team.

Any ETA for the update? Cant really fly this plane without the axis config tool.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi - I just bought the aircraft and can't move the controls with mouse, and can't seem to assign through P3D. What am I missing?

Can you move them with your stick / yoke?

I had the same troubles with the axis movements for my Saitek gear, what I have done now is that I went back from two axis assigments to one, so one axis for the throttles, prop and mixture levers using the default P3D assigments and now its working on my rig.

Cheers,
Ruud

Gave this a try. No different results than using FSUIPC assignments.

Hello,
In my FSUIPC settings, I cannot adjust the two axes for throttles.
If I choose Throttle1 and 2, the cockpit levers do not work.
If I choose only one axis and indicate Throttle, that works.
Is there a solution to have two separate axes.
I specify that I followed the advice and recommendations, namely:
choose Throttle set in the FSUIPC file, but nothing changes.
In addition, oddly the other axes (mix and prop, flaps ..) operation.
This situation is identical, when I change equipment (Proflightyokesystem or hotas warthog) or if I go through P3D, and cancel the effects of FSUIPC.
On the cessna 310R everything works correctly.
cordially



Bonjour,
Dans mes reglages FSUIPC, je ne parviens pas à régler les deux axes pour les throttles.
Si je choisis Throttle1 et 2, les manettes du cockpit ne fonctionnent pas.
Si je choisis un seul axe et indique Throttle, celà fonctionne.
Y a t-il une solution pour avoir deux axes séparés.
Je précise que j'ai suivi les conseils et recommandations, à savoir :
choisir Throttle set dans le fichier FSUIPC, mais rien n'y change.
De plus, bizarrement les autres axes (mix et prop, flaps..) fonctionnement.
Cette situation est identique, lorsque je change de matériel.(Proflightyokesystem ou hotas warthog) ou si je passe par P3D, et annule les effets de FSUIPC.
Sur le cessna 310R, tout fonctionnement correctement.
Cordialement

In FSUIPC make sure you have "Send to FS as normal axis" selected, then select the action for each axis.

Then in MVAMS (running as admin) set the calibration as you need to. Make sure when you are setting the axis that the gray bar moves with your desired lever.

In addition, make sure you have the XMLTools entry in your DLL file

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml
