    Hello.

    No matter how I assign the throttle axis (in sim, or FSUIPC, axis, axis 0-100, FSUIPC calibration etc.) at idle, it always ends up at 47-48% N1, not the actual idle.

    This is NOT the flight/ground idle issue, this happens on ground. The throttle lever does not return to idle.
    On pressing F1, it returns to idle and stays there until moved on controller.

      If the throttles are moving through their entire range with the keyboard control assignments, but not the throttle axis, it typically points towards a control assignment conflict or a sensitivity curve issue on the hardware.

      I personally only use the MSFS control assignments, so those are the only ones I can speak of; however, which THROTTLE AXIS control assignments do you currently have assigned?

      I would personally recommend assigning the THROTTLE 1 AXIS, THROTTLE 2 AXIS, THROTTLE 3 AXIS, and THROTTLE 4 AXIS control assignments to each throttle if you have four throttle levers, or the THROTTLE AXIS control assignment if you only have a single throttle lever.

      By default, some throttle quadrants may be using the "THROTTLE X AXIS (0 to 100%)" control assignments (where X is the engine number), which can be troublesome, as I believe the 0% position with a linear sensitivity curve will equate to the 50% throttle position.

      Hope that helps.

        Either of THROTTLE n AXIS and THROTTLE n AXIS (0 to 100%) result in the same behaviour.

          (additionally, using throttle axis set and throttle set in FSUIPC also... same behaviour. It's almost as if the 146 expected full range of -100%/+100%range of motion, but sim only supplied 0/100% range.

              OK, I am not sure what was different yesterday, but today I was able to succesfully set up with the 0-100% option.
