Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

1)Milviz DHC-2 Beaver: propellor lever not functioning with Saitek Quadrant. Changes are only possible with the mouse. All other Airplanes, like Carenado etc., all 3 levers are functioning well.
2)Bendex King Autopilot KAP140 bad functioning. All buttons do not proper behave to make it acceptable when trying to use these.
3)Milviz Addon Management System only usable when ticking and agreeing for passing with the then become visible popup screen "UseraccountManagement".
After making your choice and end with Save Defaults the screen, as you expect, did not automaticly diasappear. (I'm using the latest Milviz MVAMS dated March 11th).
I'm using FSX.

If you are using FSUIPC with the Beaver, what I am seeing is, the throttle lever on my HOTAS must be mapped to "THROTTLE" axis, not "THROTTLE1" axis for the VC lever to work. Same with pitch lever, "PROPPITCH" not "PROPITCH1". I use FSUIPC and have confirmed this behavior.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your message but unfortunately it won't work with my Saitek Quadrant.(I do own an official FSUIPC version).
Strange is that the "Standard FSX - DHC2 Kenmore Air Beaver" do not have this problem. I hope that there will be an other solution.

As henry said. You really need to select the correct FSUIPC commands for it to work.

I did make a lot of attempts to realise this in FSUIPC, but unfortunately did not succeed.

1.I choose Axis Assigment.

2. push MOVE and move Quadrant slider down.
Tick the box "Profile specific" and say Yes to "Aircraft Specific" ... (for the MILVIZ DHC-2 Beaver) and confirm this with OK.

What happened is that back in the Beaver Cockpit the Propellor slider is now changed and fixed in the DOWN position and no movement is possible.
What is going wrong in this procedure?

(Fact is that ALL MY OTHER AIRPLANES are working fine, included the FSX standard "DHC2 Kenmore Air").
I hope that there is an solution. For now I only can move the slider with the mouse but that is not very handy during flight.

Make sure that your axis are set to "send direct to FSUIPC calibration" not "send to FS axis".

I just SOLVED the problem in Microsoft FSX itselve.

Start going to:

->Options,
->Settings,
->Controls,
->Control axis,
->Controllertype: Saitek Proflight Yoke and THEN ...
-> Propeller axis (y-turn) >>>>>>>>> INSTEAD OF "Engine 1 propeller axis"

That does the trick.

Thanks for your kind help in this matter.

Good to hear you sorted this out. It was exactly what I was talking about.
