I just got the new Yoke that comes with throttle Quadrant, installed the drivers but cannot see where the program is.
How do I calibrate the Yoke?

Also Im getting some erratic inputs is there a way to fix it?

Hi!
I also have the same yoke, and to be honest with you when i installed the drivers ( just the drivers, the profile gamer its better not to).FS detected very well.But there is a catch with calibration of mixture and prop. 1st prop comes with low sensitivity, so you need to calibrate that, and mixture came inverted. So you need to play with that too, the rest is very straight forward.
But if you are really interested to see what the program does, you need to enable the icon on the task bar. i don't use it, and sometimes messes up the Sim configuration.
CHEERS

I also just purchased the yoke. DO NOT INSTALL THE CD! If you did uninstall it, restart, and enable the controller in the sim. The throttles must have 0%null zone and have full sensitivity.

With the above settings it was working fine; however, in order to switch from different aircraft without problems and changing settings I bought the reg. version of FSUIPC4. I have not had time to look through it yet; however, apparently it is the only way to go when calibrating flight yoke/joysticks.

You can also read up on this at the site Saitek provided me:

I will keep you posted on my FSUIPC progress!

FSUIPC is amazing for assignments/calibration. You can even do Aircraft Specific profiles!
