Prop Control

[pjmccourt]

I am using a modified Saitek x36 joystick. Built my own rudder pedals and added it to my setup. I have been having trouble getting the prop control to work with FS9. The setup for the joystick axis' show the proper pot mapped to the propellar pitch and working. I have FSUIPC loaded and the prop control does not work in it or in the airplanes. All other controls work and also show as working in FSUIPC.

All pots in controller working as confirmed in Calibration.
The pot works for prop pitch in X-Plane 8.40

Got the prop control working a year or so ago, but can't remember what I did. Any ideas! :-(

I'd check in FS assignments to insure the direction is correct, not centered, and there are no other assignments including keystrokes for it. If you have any other controllers make sure it is assigned to the correct one uniquely. Insure that the prop axis is assigned to all, not a specific engine.

FSUIPC axis calibration shows the input (from FS) and output (to the aircraft). There is also I believe an option to map in sets and one for all. I would look at those to see if that affects anything. Unless you need it turn the prop axis filter off so you have a linear transfer.

Just found out why I don't have Prop control. The sensitivity was turned down all the way, not letting the pot do anything.

Thanks for the help.
