Homemade 'Boeing-style' Saitek Dual Throttle Setup + FSUIPC Programming Info!

[@txcavi]

I have 2 of these and never thought about doing this. Thank you for the idea.

[@informationalpha1]

Is it possible to have the black levers set as one lever but be set to both 1 and 2 engine reverser?

[@b-i-c7969]

Absolutely amazing man! I'm probably gonna use a very simlar design

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@b-i-c7969]

Can you use this for FSX?

[@b-i-c7969]

And another question: would you recommend the Saitek Pro Yoke, or should I keep my Logitech G Extreme 3D pro?

[@Sp0w0tter208]

Really creative 👌🏻👌🏻

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

After reading FUIPC manual, it appeared that you could just "sync" throttles by a click of a button. Do you have to use the LUA scripts too or is that better than the programs inherent way of keeping the throttles synced?

[@AviationPro]

+Gregory Rimmer I believe that sync button is only to actually sync the throttles with one press, but as soon as you move the lever again, they are out of sync. You would have to constantly press that button to keep your throttles in sync. The Lua script does that for you, and it's just a matter of copying the script file into the FSUIPC folder :)

[@vadermike7772]

I really like how you have the inner reverser knobs fit with the throttles, great idea! Very cool

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! It works pretty well :)

[@deanandersen1419]

Just saw this 5 years later. I have a couple sons that have 3d printers. Going to see if they can make these.

[@debashishneog34]

Hi bro I always like your full flight video on vatsim so now I want to know now a days why you are not uploading any Fullflight Vatsim Video plz upload video.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Because I'm studying, but in two weeks time I will have time to produce VATSIM videos again :)

[@parinvyas565]

WELCOME BACK Man!

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

Hi +aviationpro! So glad you are doing a video on this product! I have the PMDG 737 NGX, and panning down to look at those controls is very difficult, since I also need to look at the instruments. I have a registered copy of FSUIPC, and a modification for the throttle quadrant is exactly what I'm looking for. However, since I don't want to go through the struggle of the woodworking and painting aspect of the process, I'm thinking about purchasing a 737 attachment package from Cockpit PhD. If I have those components, do you think I'll be able to program the controls as you're doing in this video? Thanks!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :) Yes those things should work pretty well. Physically nothing about the throttle changes, you are just replacing the default knobs with 737-style 'knobs', so you can still program everything the same way as I showed in this video :).

[@panagiotiskouk6965]

I love your videos also thanks because from you I learned how to fly on p3d please reply :)

[@ericboxerman3725]

Nice one very creative!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you!

@AviationPro, is there anything extra you had to set in FSUIPC or in sim directly to make it work correctly? I have to problems: 1. Spoilers: I used range between 50-75% (2048 - 10879) for "arm" position and ~87-100% (14591 - 16383) for "down". However, when tested in plane, the arm position is triggered when I move the lever to the range of ~76-78% only, not the one I set in FSUIPC. If I move the handle to 75% or below, it acts like normal axis and move the flaps up. The "up" position is triggered just above the "arm" one. There is no space recognized like I set in FSUIPC 2. Throttle For each engine I use separate lever (x4) and each of them was calibrated to use full range of axis. However, so far I see that engines get 100% of power when I move quadrant handles to ~73% position, not sure how to set it so it will equal in plane and quadrant. Generally I prefer to make entire setup in FSUIPC instead of sim (P3Dv4) so I can use different profiles. That's why I wiped all axis controls from sim settings but for tests I tried to use them as well and changed sensitivity of levers. Unfortunately I do not see a difference. Engines get full power too early on quadrant's axis.

[@AviationPro]

For the spoilers it seems you are confusing the flaps and the spoilers axis. For the throttle, make sure you not just assign the axis, but also calibrate it in the calibration tab of FSUIPC, otherwise it might not use the full range of the throttle.

Hoi ik heb ook zo een Saitek thorttle maar bij moet doet alleen bij de Boeing de zwarte dus de gas maar die rode en blauwe en bij de zwarte de reservus trust ofzo doet het jiet hoe kan ik dat instellen

[@markmatheisl2960]

I'm sure you don't remember me... But great video. I think I'll try something similar

[@AviationPro]

Haha of course I remember you, thanks!

[@seniorpz1969]

Very creative! Nice!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@taurvizarich3816]

Hi AviationPro, do you have interests to talk about P3D V4 sometime in the future? :)

[@AviationPro]

Hi, yes I will probably organize a live stream soon to talk about it :)

[@DJNORBY20]

But it looks good. At least it's better than simple desk joystick with 4 axis. Aeleron. Elevator. Rudder and throttle and 10 buttons. Here you have nice Cessna yoke and real double throttle with flaps... And it doesn't cost 100p dollars...

[@hunterfagan6272]

how did you get a yoke with a usb?

[@NissePvP]

TupolevPilot You buy a yoke with USB

[@AviationPro]

Each yoke is indeed USB, but the throttle that comes with it has a PS/2 connector. However, if you buy a throttle quadrant separately, it will have a USB connection, not PS/2.

[@hunterfagan6272]

AviationPro ok. I actually meant throttle quadrant. Not yoke. My Pro flight yoke had issues, so they gave me another one with another throttle quadrant, but it has the ps2, so i can't use it

[@AviationPro]

If you still have the old yoke, and the connectors on the back still work, you can also plug in the 2nd quadrant via your old yoke.

[@hunterfagan6272]

AviationPro i cant cuz saitek made me destroy it

[@mrsknusprig9621]

~NOTIFICATION SQUAD~

[@AviationPro]

Awesome!

[@gl7080]

Hello, very nice and thank you very much for this info. Maybe you wil also take us on tour how you change your views during flight. I have chaseplain but to see nice around the cockpit and outsite as you show into your videos is difficult how you do that. So flying is difficult but look as around maybe more. A problem that real pilots not have of course. Bye and thanks again. Tot ziens ;)

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! I don't really have any addons for changing views, I just use the hat switch on the Saitek yoke to look around and I have assigned my arrow keys to move the eyepoint in the cockpit (that's a standard Prepar3D function), that's it :). In some videos, I use FaceTrackNoIR to make nice cockpit shots.

[@alpery5736]

Laat maar😂💪🏼
