Newb question about joystick axis

Oldar · August 1, 2017 at 7:33 PM

I am loving the Q400 more than should be allowed, but I have a problem that I know must be easy to solve but I can't find the answer. The lever that I have assigned to control the prop speed on my Saitek Yoke unit has things backwards, and I can't figure out how to reverse the way it is read. Right now the game is reading all the way up on this lever as minus, and all the way back as plus. None of the other levers on my throttle or the add-on Saitek throttle I use are doing that. I have read the manual but can't find info on reversing the axis.

There must be a way, and I must be missing it. What have I screwed up?

Just reassign your controls in the right direction.

Center your axis, then click towards to right of the axis assignment box. When it highlights "+" then move your axis in that direction.

Thanks! I did not realize that was an assignment box. Worked just as you described.

And thanks for the updated 172. That is your baby, isn't it?

Yap, I just added the engine cut off and changed the flight model. The default Cessna 172 is already dark. Just needed the "cold" bit.

The difference in takeoff performance alone makes your 172 a "must have". Everything else is just icing on the cake.
