To get them backwards with FSUIPC you need to edit the ini file -- I have all my bravo controls mapped to KA350 with FSUIPC (following the Milviz guide and setting them to DIREC TO SIM).

Code: Select all

[Axes.Bravo Turboprop - Milviz King Air 350]
RangeRepeatRate=10
0=0X,256,F,66423,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_THROTTLE2_SET }-
1=0Y,256,F,66420,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_THROTTLE1_SET }-
2=0Z,256,F,66425,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_MIXTURE2_SET }-
3=0R,256,F,66421,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET }-
4=0U,256,F,66422,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_MIXTURE1_SET }-
5=0V,256,F,66424,0,0,0,*-1	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_PROPELLER2_SET }-
*-1 at end means reverse the axis range.

The only thing I can't do is get control of beta range for ground taxi--

Dead set legend thanks mate, will give this a go very shortly.

Let me know how it goes.

I have the button at bottom of throttle axis set to usual reverse thrust trick with FSUIPC. I really wish Honeycomb would of given us a full axis.....

Also, curious, does stopping your KA feel like a chore? I have triple checked my FSUIPC settings for my rudders and when hitting my toe brakes it’s like an act of god to stop. I’ve blown past quite few hold short lines at 20kt taxi.

How does it compare to just using the regular brake keyboard shortcut? Are you cutting back your condition levers for taxi?

Using . to apply brakes it's the same result -- from 30 kts it takes A LONG time to stop.

Condition levers to low idle as well.

From testing I remember that this aircraft has really strong engines. Even on low if you take the parking brake off you will be moving forward. Kind of like the Q400. Regardless I don't have any real world experience so I can't say if it is 100% right but we had several people with real world experience on this project. May need to tweak your range in controls or MVAMS so that you can feather the props.
