Harley Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Just had the Super Taurus delivered today. Set it up, and then calibrated it, because it seems like the thing to do. Perhaps I shouldn't have. Before I did, the throttles both detected when placed into idle cutoff. In the SimApp Pro software, at the end of the travel for either throttle, there is a box 1 and 2 that both illuminated when both throttles were put into cutoff. Now, there are green circles that apparently show when you're in idle, and this is presumably in an idle state. Question is, how do we restore the idle cutoff position? The boxes 1 and 2 will no longer show in the "off" position when placed in cutoff. Recalibration did not return this function, and neither did restoring to default config. It looks like the engines will never actually cutoff anymore, when they would have with just the throttle before I went and calibrated it.

Harley Posted February 16, 2022 Author Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) When in the calibration menu, there are 6 prompts. Click on any one of them, and a dialog appears for what it wants you to do. I followed the instructions. There are 6 axes to calibrate, and I wasn't sure which was which, so I referred to the DCS options menu to see what auto populated. I've seen somewhere in here that it is advised to plug the USB cables directly into the motherboard, so I made sure to do that during the calibration operation. It is now plugged into a USB hub, but the issue remains no matter where it's plugged in. That said, I've been tinkering. It seems as though there isn't a button or switch connected to the fingerlift control before pushing through the idle gate. Nothing registers for it anyway, but it still seems that it should somehow determine the idle stop at the end of the gate, and the cutoff position since the 1 and 2 box did illuminate at one point.

MustangSally Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Did you see my calibration tutorial.....first message thread in this forum?

Harley Posted February 16, 2022 Author Posted February 16, 2022 I will make a point to look at that. That said, is there something perhaps faulty with my calibration to make the 1 and 2 cutoff boxes no longer recognized? If I follow your tutorial, will that function be restored?
Harley Posted February 16, 2022 Author Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I followed the instructions you posted. Also, I think I understand what is happening. It brings up a question. I think there is no actual joy button 1 and 2, and that it is a software detent detected by being in that section of throttle. I may have calibrated that section out of the band. One of these pictures is in idle, against the idle stop. The other picture is in cutoff, and should light up the 1 and 2 block, the joy btn 1 and 2 that DCS is looking for in the settings assigned as Throttle (Left) and (Right) - OFF/IDLE. Joy button 1 and 2 don't illuminate in the SimSApp pro software when in cutoff. Is this true for everyone? Maybe I should try Uninstalling and deleting the simapp pro software and files to restore the initial settings? Is it just me? Does the cutoff gate cutoff the engines for anyone?

MustangSally Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 You are totally misinterpreting what the idle cutoff and flight idle gates do. The have nothing to do with your throttle axis. Your axis's are analog while the idle cutoff and flight idle positions of the grips are button presses!! Move your handle over the idle cutoff position, from there you calibrate. Your calibration axis's are Rx and Ry. The rest are your friction and TDC.

Bonz Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I'm hoping you can help me as well. I have a different issue, but it sounds like the remedy is the same. A good calibration. I have discord, Do you have time to help... Bonz
MustangSally Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I'm east coast Australia and It's Monday morning here so currently at work. Tell me the issue and I'll see if I can help here?
