Flight Controls, Throttle Quadrant problem

Have you taken a look at the sensitivities?

What happens when you use the default profile?
Does the throttle work OK then?

I have but no matter how i set the sensitivity, pushing the throttle forward , the little ball goes down and stays there. I have to move the throttle all the way back for it to return to center

Have you reset all those sensitivities back to 0 with the reactivity at 100?

just tried to reset but nothing happened, id have to reset the settings by hand. Don’t they reset to zero with the reset button?

You may have to click it twice, but it should!

Download this free calibration tool and re-calibrate your throttle.

If this doesn’t help, at this point, I think you may be due for a sim reset.
Do you have a good internet connection to do that?

no good, tried 4 times

I do
reset or uninstall and reinstall

The only thing else I can think of is permissions on the folder.
Does that look OK?

not sure what permissions would look like, and thanks for the download info, i will definitely do that

Under the security tab, Administrator, System, and yourself should have full control.

yes i have for my PC

If you’re using any Logitech driver or software for your yoke/quadrant delete drivers, disable the software launch, unplug the yoke, reboot your PC, re-plug yoke in an USB2 port, if you have a powered USB hub use it.
Let Windows use it’s own drivers, they work well.
Calibrate the yoke/quadrant under Windows with it’s app (joy.cpl).
Launch MSFS with the yoke/quadrant only (and mouse and keyboard), nothing else.
In your last screenshot, you used “Throttle axis”, NO, use “Throttle 1 axis” only. Don’t modify “Default” profile, create a new one before bindings (at this point use now another name than “Cessna” wich is saved in cloud now). Don’t modify sensitivity at the moment.
Important: when you’re moving the lever to indicate to MSFS it’s the one for this axis, don’t go on the “detent” position, stop moving before.
One thing you can clarify: are your profiles for C172 and G36 working or do you have the same issue with all planes ?

Windows does not have an app that will calibrate a Saitek controller.
Joy.cpl doesn’t work with Saitek.
The screen that arises does not have a calibration tab, you can only view the motion.
You can’t alter a default profile, you must save it with a new name.
Tried new profile with different names several times.
He has tried the throttle 1 - throttle numerous times.
Tried the plug unplug as well.
All this is mentioned above.

The only thing we haven’t tried that I know of is a different port.

Wrong, it works perfectly for yoke and quadrant, including calibration.
No time yet, but I can publish screenshots later.
For other points, perhaps he did, but not on a clean basis.

No sir, with respect, it does not. It has no calibration page.
That is well documented in here and I own that set up as well.
Which is why I sent him a link to a very good calibration tool.


And yes, we cleared all profiles, even removed the actual files.

thanks for the reply , same issues with all

Ok, so I do think you are probably at the point where a reinstall may be worth the effort.
Your call.
You may want to wait and see if PlumbGlue67 has some other thoughts.
If you do want to go that route, yes a complete uninstall would be my suggestion.
Then delete all the remaining folders.
If you have any addons, move them to a safe spot out of the sim folder structure, such as your documents.
