[SOLVED] Condition lever + CH throttle quadrant


Recommended Posts

Posted

So the solution right now, is just to use the mouse to move the conditioning levers?

Some people have gotten the levers to work.  If you can't do that then yes, use the mouse for the time being.

He wants to be able to drag the TQ window yellow bars rather than the 3D model levers, Jim.

Since the thread was about assigning the Condition Levers, I though he may want to do that with the TQ gui... but wasn't sure.

Yes, that's what I meant, but having 2 Saitek TQs, the possibility to use the axes that are assigned to PROP 1 & 2 (or MIXTURE 1 & 2) in X-plane's axes assignments is much more important for me.

Also important for me is not having to re-assign the CLs each time I open the Saab 340.

 

And then I need more free time to enjoy the Saab (oh, so you can't help me with that ? :wacko: ).

I vote for more popup functionality too.  I only have an X-52 throttle, don't want to assign -anything- to the CL's... would much rather use the popup than the shitty manipulator quirks that X-Plane provides.

 

(Drag down to move forward, until you change camera angle... or wear different socks... it's absurd.)

This one has been discussed to no end and can't happen. Laminar is going to need to step in there.

Got a job? Quit it.  :D

I see "Solved" but what was the solution for this problem? Moving the CLs with the mouse?!  :huh:

 

What are you referring to?  This thread is rather old, and several issues were discussed.  Some of those issues were resolved in previous updates.

Ok.  I was just talking about the condition lever being controlled by throttle levers instead of the mouse.  It's been a while since I flew the Saab, but I remember having this problem. Was this taken care of in an update?

I'm wanting to start flying it again, is why I ask.

 

Thank you,

Bob

Hi Bob

Am I correct in assuming you mean the re-assigning of the axis for the Condition Levers each time the sim is started or is it the hardware that is not working with the Condition levers?

I have just purchased the SAAB, (and the DC3!). I have no issues with the use of the condition levers.

I have a Saitek X55. My throttle therefore has the usual two throttles and two potentiometers on top and below each throttle. It also has two additional potentiometers on the base plate. Its these last two that I assign the SAAB condition levers to.

I also have my Saitek plugged into a USB 3 port. Overkill perhaps, but since XP and the SAAB is reading voltage variations from the potentiometers. I surmise that the more accurate (faster) the voltage variation is read, then the better the interpretation of the position of the levers. Hence perhaps the speed of the USB 3 port is helping?

All merely speculation and my opinion of course, but that's my experience so far re the levers.

As to the re assigning the controls before each flight, its quick to accomplish in less time than it takes to check the flight controls.

Hope this twopenneth adds to the discussion.

Thanks for the aircraft. Looks to be one of the best X Plane models so far! (Dc3 excepted of course;-)).

Regards

David
