Mixture and Prop Control

Postby Shadowcaster » Fri Sep 09, 2016 10:10 pm

OK chaps/chapesses can anyone help with this. I have a Saitek X52 Pro Joystick, when you move the throttle control when flying a twin or four engined plane all the throttle controls move together. But when using the joystick to adjust mixture or prop controls only one moves, I usually use the slider on the Saitek to control mixture on a single engined machine. So is there any way to tie these controls to operate with one assignment on the joystick. I.E. the slider control would control all mixture adjustments. :think: Sorry it's a bit long-winded but I have problems writing what I'm thinking :oops:

Cheers

Yes you can do that, I have just tested it with a saitek AV8R and the Saitek throttle quadrant.

Controls, axes select throttle for throttle, mixture for mixture and prop for prop, make a new assignment each time

I am using FSX acceleration

Hi Tony thanks for that, I couldn't understand what you were saying at first but after looking at the control settings again and scrolling down I found it now everything is tickety-boo. :dance: :dance:

Paul I know what you mean I have plenty of thoughts during the day but can I remember them, can I hell. SWMBO calls it my CRAFT moments, Can't Remember A F*****g Thing. :roll:
