The solution to throttle/prop problems when using FSUIPC is to send the data to FS as a normal axis. Don't put it through calibration, otherwise our custom throttle system won't detect the events needed.

First let me say that as someone who has logged MANY hours on the Otter, Turbo Otter, Beaver and Turbo-Beaver in the 'Real-World; I really like this A/C :D . Unfortunately, as an 'Old' retired guy; I only fly on the computer now with a cup of coffee + No Black flies or Mosquitos.

I seem to have one issue though and despite the fact that it's been discussed here; I haven't found a solution.

I have (6) GoFlight modules including their TQ6 Throttle Quadrant.

Throttle works, but does not move in the V/C
Prop Pitch does not work or move in the V/C. I have to move it in the V/C with the mouse.
Mixture works fine.

I have these mapped through the latest GoFlight config. module.

I run the latest basic FSUIPC module (Not registered)

The only issue I'd like to resolve is to get the Prop Pitch to work with my TQ6 instead of having to use the mouse.. I really don't care if I can see the levers move in the V/C or not.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thx.

Rick
