Louis8m 1 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I built a news system using FSX and Windows 10 and this bird is one of my favourites but for some unknown reason and out of options , when I'm airborne and engage the auto pilot the throttles go bezerk and I have to shove them up and down a few times to get them tamed down , this is the only plane that does this and I have no idea . The setting of the throttles was never really the best and always real jerky. I run Precision flight Controls for a yoke and throttle quadrant and can't get then right so I unticked the quadrant tool for PFControl and tried with FSUIPC and its not the best and the Prop levers, I just can't get either, one is smooth and the other is very erratic . Any ideas ? cause I might just have to scape this bird. But the Auto pilot making the throttles jump around on engaging is a mystery --- Thanks Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 12, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted December 12, 2018 We use 100% standard FS commands and axis and autopilot for this, that makes this a big mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis8m 1 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I disconnected the Go flight auto pilot and just clicked the auto pilot 'on' with my mouse and it still does it , darn, something is conflicting between the auto pilot and the throttles some how . Thought you would of came to Vegas at the conference but you never came they told me ----Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't an auto-throttle on the Twin Otter but it may be that something in the PFC throttle quad driver intercepts this? This is all pure speculation but the PFC hardware is the non-standard link in the chain, as I believe their hardware isn't designed to show up as regular HIDs.

Louis8m 1 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Umm ok , could be I might have to delete the PFC .INI file and let it rebuild. I think your right about the PFC driver Mark .Now that I reinstalled this bird on a new system is there any changes that you made that I should be putting in Mark ? I know a while back you had made some -----Louis - Alberta Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did post it here but I think the files all got wiped out at some point .You can get it from here instead if you're interested, although you have to be registered to see the attachments.

Louis8m 1 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Well here's what I found so you know in case it happens to some one out there . Setting the throttles with a turbo prop I find very hard , they are very sensitive and hard to sync . so what I do with turbo props is in FSUIPC I go to Hot Keys and there you see a box you can insert the @ key to sync the props, well I didn't use that key to sync and when I engaged the auto pilot it was fine ,so it's syncing the props with the @ key seems to cause the throttles to go right nuts . I searched and searched why the throttles on these turbo pops are so sensitive and hard to set and all I could fine it that its a FSX issue and not the fault of the developers .So thanks for the help .
