Hey guys,

firstly I have to say congrats to this very well made aircraft and smooth release so far! Looking forward to the A350 V2 with that quality!

Problem description:
I have an issue calibrating my winctrl minor throttles. I chose the 2 axis option and in the EFB everything looks and responds as expected (Throttels 1 and 2 are linked to my throttle 1 axis and 3 and 4 to my axis 2). But just the the throttles in the aircraft don't behave as shown in the EFB. Only throttels 1 and 2 move as if I would have chosen the 4 axis option.

See ond the screens below.

I have only configured throtte axis 1 and 2 in the MSFS settings.

What I already did:

• I did a reset of the calibration in the EFB and calibrated again sveral times. Always the same result.

• I deleted the ThrottleData.ini as advised in the FAQ section. Same result.

• Restarded the sim several times

• restarted windows

I have no ideas any more on what I could try (of course I could map my throttle 1 to the MSFS throttle axis 1 and 2 and so, but thats not how it is supposed to be, is it?). The winctrl firmware is up to date.

You have any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Regards, Julian

Hi,

Do you have Throttle AXIS 3 & 4 bound in your MSFS settings?

Thanks

No, I have not! Those are left blank!

That would be why! I have it set so engines 1/2 are on the AXIS-X and engines 3/4 are on AXIS-Y.

Let me know if that helps solve the issue!

Yeah, that is working. But I don't understand the 2 axis option in the EFB. And also the EFB shows the levers on another thrust setting then the actual levers are. That's whats setting me off. But with assigning the axis 3 + 4 also you can work around that.

Thx for your reply. Perhaps you can investigate that behaviour, since I assume thats not what the calibration is ment to work, or is it?

Hi,

Everything is working as intended.

The calibration tool on the EFB is asking whether you have 1, 2, or 4 axes assigned. In your case, you only have 2 axes assigned, but you're wanting those two axes to control all 4 engines.

I hope this helps clarify things!

Thanks!

I don't want to bother you since it is working, but now I have all 4 axis assigned and only that way it is working. The MSFS axis 1 should as shown in the EFB control the levers 1 & 2 and the MSFS axis 2 should control levers 3 & 4, right? That's how it is shown in the EFB calibration tool. As you can see on my screenshot, the EFB display doesn't match the lever positions.

If that is how it is intended, than that is very confusing and isn't how other 4 engine aircraft are usually mapped. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, I have seen now on the FAQ page, that for WINCTRL it is suggested to use the 4 axis option. I must have overseen that! So I guess thats my fault! 😉

Thanks again for your help! 😊

Glad you got it working, we hope you enjoy your new aircraft!
