Hi all, i’ve from some time the Saitek Throttle Quadrant. However, i found spending a lot of time on the TBM and in the CJ4, where the first has just one lever (PS: a Steam-Gauges TBM 850 a-la stiveo1 would be cool, don’t you think? ) and the second has two engines.
About the CJ4, i’ve tried to map the first two levers to Throttle 1 and 2, however they are pretty offset respect to each other, meaning that, for example, if both levers are at the 50% position, the recognized values are 51% on the first and 58% on the second. Do you have any idea how i can fix this?
Thank you very much!
I have a throttle quadrant that came with the yoke and a second - all in all 6 ‘sticks’. I had them appart and cleaned the ‘pots’ and they are super accurate now. Videos on You Tube.
Be aware, you will invalidate the warranty if they are still under warranty. If not, put a side an evening and have a go. Worth while.
There’s some good info here that might help, have a look at recalibrating maybe.

I don’t want to tear apart the device TBH.
Just tried and did not work i’m gonna have a 2nd try later. The annoying fact is that the left and right levers are pretty coordinated, is the central one being uneven!
Check in your axis assignments, I seem to remember something about 100% use of axis and it not being default. Make both the same. Also check sensitivities and all that to make sure they are the same. As for the TBM throttle… if you have just the one (3 lever), you can manually (Mouse) the lever on the screen on the right side of the control until your engine is started, then the lever will work. For engine shut down, simply mouse the lever back to the right side and pull down
Have you tried adjusting the slopes in the sensitivity settings? You might get them to line up a little better that way.
