Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I have my controls calibrated through FSUIPC.... I was wondering if it is still in development that the power levers in our sim move with our hardware. Currently- the engine reacts when I move my hardware, but the levers in the sim stay stationary.

Hi Vv I'm having the same issue which I have reported in another thread.

I have found that to get the levers to move in the VC you have to have them programmed through the sim. Just doing it in FSUIPC will not activate the levers visually.

The other issue I'm having is although the prop & condition levers move through their whole range the throttles do not & stop moving before reaching flight idle so never visually enter ground fine & reverse. Calibrating both with the sim & FSUIPC doesn't correct this either.

All my other aircraft including the Milviz DHC-3 work with controls disabled in the sim & using FSUIPC only. Obviously using different programming for the KA.

If you look at my post which has a heading different to control issues you will see Iv'e discovered some further problems where if controls are through P3D I can't calibrate to low idle on the ground & if I have it off my props will not remain at the hardware setting & the VC position of the levers overrides my hardware position. Quite odd really.

Thank you- this is a very helpful post. I hope they figure out a way to use FSUIPC- as someone who uses many different aircraft types has different lever setups...

I'm also having this trouble with the throttles. They do not move when calibrated through FSUIPC and still do not move when direct through the sim.
This will need to be fixed before I can use this aircraft. I do not calibrate my aircraft controls through the sim at all.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon so I can try this aircraft out. It looks amazing.

I believe it was noted elsewhere that the throttle issues would be fixed. I’m in the same boat so waiting for the beta release that includes this fix.

Is there an update to this with the release? Any comments on the Elite King Air Throttle Quadrant?

I also cannot move the throttles of the airplane, nor any other lever. I have a virtualfly TQ6, and i've tried assigning the axis via FSUIPC and also via the prepar3d controls menu, and even calibrating the quadrant in the sim the levers in the virtual cockpit do not move at all.

Same issue. I also use VF TQ6+.

Hi, same issue with CH Throttle Quadrant. Only my two "mixture" axis are recognised and move the condition levers. FSUIPC doesn't help.
Hope this will be fixed quickly because for me it's a no go to fly a such (beautiful) aircraft without my throttle hardware.

Same problem here, really too bad as everything elese looks superb!
Can someone from Milviz team just briefly reply and let us know what is planned/ or beeing worked on? I heared in earlier versions you could move the throttle all the way from reverse to full power.

I also found a config option in the aircraft.cg file within the aircraft folder (alle the way to the bottom).
Editing this to -25 as the condition leaver, it works for the condition leaver to have full way handling.
For the throttle it does snot work ;(
This is what it looks like:

I'd never even noticed this in all the time I've spent working on this project. I just changed my aircraft.cfg file's entry for the Axis_Power_Min_Pos to -25 and it works for my Saitek throttle quad. I've just got to be careful when moving back to flight idle since there's no gate to limit movement.

I'm also having an issue where I can't use my TQ6+ to control my power quadrant, with FSUIPC native bindings or FSUIPC P3D bindings. The KA350 is unflyable for me until there's a way to address this

We’re on it

Same issues, no movement. I tried everything I could think of. I have TM WartHog throttles and the VF TQ6. Both calibrated and seen by W10 and FSUIPC and P3D.

Yep, same here with my CH throttle quad. Was hoping it wasn't just me!
