THQ: Dual Engine Throttle calibration.

Postby Kanok » Sun Nov 14, 2021 6:06

I set up my THQ for dual engine. Calibrated with the VKB software but cannot make left and right engine to throttle similar. The right engine (axis y) always ahead and reach maximum be for left engine. The curve and everything else is at default.

Thanks

If you physically linked the 2 throttles with the white connector please remove it and do again the reset/find/calibrate.

Removed the link, recalibrated, reattached the link, remove and re-plug the usb. Still the same result. One observation that at about the same level, the axis X is behind while Y and Z are about the same. If I really would like to use it with twin now, I have to tie Y and Z instead of X and Y. But I don't want to do that.

Thanks,

First reset to default, then recalibrate without the link please. Post again the Physical and Logical Layers screenshots taken afterwards.

Hi,

Did the click the Default button, Start Calibr X Y Z individually, End Carlibr, remove and re-attach the usb. Same result. Y and Z Axis is the same level while X is behind. May be there is something wrong with the X axis sensor.

Let's try this:
1. Change the axes number as below:

2. Check the En and Vs boxes for axes 4, 5 and 6 and press Set:

3. Recalibrate.

OK. Done Please see attached. There is something strange on the Device config app. There is always one row of tab at the bottom of the screen (Global, Profile, Macro, Test, Info) not below the main tab.

Please download this tester, maximize the tester on your screen and post 2 screenshots: one with moving up and down the 3 throttles and second one the same, but with the 2 throttles linked to each other.
