Problem with throttle calibration

Post by real » Tue Feb 18, 2020 5:48 pm

Hi,

When calibrating throttle, prop and condition levers should i see a blue line moving when i move a lever. I say that because i saw a sceenshot here in this forum showing a blue line in the "max reverse/beta/idel/max power box. Even though i try to calibrate, levers are always moving (mostly throttle ones) when flying. Could somebody help me with this. Thanks a lot

Yes, When you select the right lever for the axis you are calibrating you will see a gray bar moving as you move your lever

Apologies if I am uber dumbing this down... Want to explain it best I can...

1. If you are using FSUIPC, you have to set your lever there. MVAMS is only a calibration tool, not used to assign axis.
2. MVAMS is a 3 step process.
a) Select what you want to control (Power Lever 1 in my picture below)
b) Select the device you will use to control that. If you have the Saitek Yoke, the 3 levers that come with the yoke will be under Saitek Yoke
c) Select the axis you will use for that control. You may need to select each one to see which is moving
3. Make sure you save after each control is set

They work better now but i think that's because my throttle quadrant is getting old. Levers always moving a bit. Thanks again.
