Throttles Not Working With FSUIPC5

[signmanbob]

Hello,
All of my aircraft work great with FSUIPC5 (registered). I cannot get your 350i to work with my hardware through FSUIPC5.
I even tried setting the controllers direct through P3Dv4 and the levers in the VC do not move at all.
I really hope that you can show me what I'm doing wrong. All of my aircraft are always set up through FSUIPC5 so I can have individual profiles for each.
I have not been able to fly this 350i since I first purchased it when you started building it and thought that when the release version would eventually come that the controller problems would all be fixed.

I have downloaded the latest version of the 350i (MV_KA350i_v1.0.6_200131) which uses the controller settings in the MVAMS.
I am using the Precision Flight Controls Throttle Quadrant, but when I set it the levers will move up to "Idle Lift" and then as I keep pushing the levers, they will move back down instead of moving to full throttle. It doesn't seem to matter if I select "Invert" or not.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
Am I in the right place to get help with my 350i?

Thank you,
Bob

Hi,

First of all, you need to have all your levers axis mapped in P3D.

Then, in FSUIPC, select each of them and in Type of Action required choose "Send to FS as normal axis". It is probable that you need to create a specific profile for the KA.

Finally, use MVAMS for the rest of configurations,

So the levers do need to still be mapped in P3D, and P3D's axis enabled?

Yes.

Thank you Tomas. I'll give it a try. I'd love tol actually fly this KA instead of the other one.

Thomas,

Have you noticed that AFTER you have set things up for the axis in MVAMS, they are not saved? I have calibrated as instructed "AXIS THROTTLE 1 SET" - and am attempting to use MVAMS to assign where the beta/max/min stuff is- however it never gets saved. As soon as I close and reopen MVAMS, the throttles are all reversed once more.

Hi,

Did you check ENABLE HARDWARE MAPPING in MVAMS Controls' page?

It comes disabled by default.

I do not see this option at all

Looks like you are on the withdrawn version of the hotfix (1.1)... I'm on 1.0.6- unfortunately decided to "give it a go again" since this addon has so much potential to be great. On the 1.0.6 version, there's a control mappings page, but no user checkbox to enable mapping.

Guys, actually you should be able to use FSUIPC, just not with calibration. It must send only the raw axis data to sim to the throttle/prop/mixture axis events. The calibration is to be set up in the MVAMS.

Same here. I'm using FSUIPC to map my axis, and no matter what is the "Invert Axis" checkbox state on the MVAMS, my hardware axis are always inverted in sim. And the way it was set up (AXIS THROTTLE SET, etc) I can't invert the axis on FSUIPC.

Can you post your axis.cfg ? It can be found in

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\MVAMS\Configurations\KingAir350i

Try to manually change INVERT to 1 (or 0 if its currently 1) and try again

Sergio,

are you using only one axis lever for both the throttles, both the props and both the condition levers, or do you have a 6-axis throttle quadrant? It is interesting that all are the same values for each set...
