Can't throttle back to idle with CH Products throttle quad

Post by iang77 »

Using the CH Products throttle quadrant with the Accusim Cub. My throttle is set to idle at the detent and below, and I have no issues with any other aircraft.

Unfortunately the Accusim Cub throttle is set at 37% when I idle on the quadrant. I can manually pull the throttle back with the mouse cursor to get it to zero, but it then almost immediately resets itself to 37%.

Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to the forums,

Please could you try moving the throttle through its entire range and see if this allow you to return it to the closed position.

Also, just worth checking that you've downloaded and installed the latest Accu-Sim update from here?

Thanks,
Nick

I own a CH TQ as well, it works great but from time to time a recalibration is needed.

Thanks for the responses, folks. I actually figured out the problem while my post was being reviewed by the mods. I discovered I that the throttle axis controlled by FSX directly as well as through FSUIPC. It must have created a conflict. Once I deleted the FSX assignment, everything started working perfectly.

She's a lovely aircraft for flying around the mountain strips of Idaho!

I just had to say that you don't see that as often as you should. So many times people have asked for help, got an answer and never post the result. Even worse is the guy who says, after a lengthy thread, "It's OK, I fixed it" and not telling how! Never to be seen again,.

Not on this forum I hasten to add. But you've seen 'em.
