Sensitivities set to max and null zones to minimum?

Something is masking the inputs from the sim. With FSUIPC turned off, do the sim throttle assignments work for default aircraft?

I moved FSUIPC out of the Sim-----it works now,Throttles are moving.
Moved FSUIPC back to the Sim--Throttles doesn`t work.
Your F-4 is the only plane i have with this issue.
But i want to use FSUIPC,so what can i do?

Can you send a screenshot of your FSUIPC axis config panel showing how the throttles are assigned?

You are using the THROTTLE_SET events when you should be using the AXIS_THROTTLE_SET events. Also, your flight controls need to be sent to FS as a normal axis as well.

Going over some posts in the FSUIPC forums, it is inadvisable to use FSUIPC at all for aircraft that intercept throttle inputs like ours does as well as PMDG aircraft. All I can do is point back to what I said earlier about having a FSUIPC profile for the F-4 that doesn't have any hardware assignments, and if that still doesn't work, ask on the FSUIPC forums how to get it to release control of your control inputs for the sim to use them.

Glad I found this topic.

Going by FSUIPC throttles wouldn't move, until from one of the above posts, I mapped it to Throttle -Axis route. Now all is fine.
