Condition Lever Difficulties
-
I have been having great difficulty in using FSUIPC to map the Condition Lever axis on a Honeycomb Echo Aviation Controller on the Caravan Professional (v 1.2). This issue probably relates to MSFS2020/2024 Turboprops in general, and it may be something I want to take to the FSUIPC forums, but I'll post this here anyway in hopes someone might have a clue. I really don't want to have to "give-in" and just map High Idle and Low Idle to a button press.
See the 2 attached images of Axes Assignments I've been using in FSUIPC. Through trial-and-error I figured out the the Input Event FUEL 1 CONDITION LEVER was the only control that worked to even get the lever axis to move at all. Parameter 0 = High Idle and Parameter 1 = Low Idle. I also have a Button press assignment for the detent gate of the axis to toggle it between Low Idle and Cutoff, which works flawlessly.
The primary issue I am having is that when I move the lever from High Idle to Low Idle, it just jumps immediately into Cutoff. The axis has a range or -16384 (full forward) to 16383 (0% resting against the detent gate). As can be seen in the screenshots, the lever goes from High Idle to Cutoff, entirely skipping Low Idle, as soon as the lever is moved below -10013.
Several hours of "work" and querying on Google Gemini got me literally nowhere. Has anyway ever mapped a condition lever that 100% works in this situation (FSUIPC, MSFS2024, BKSQ Caravan Professional or some other recent BKSQ Turboprop)??
