Throws on throttle on G2 box with AFPD
I received AFPD a couple of days ago and love it. Everything is running great except I can't get the throttle trim to slow enough to keep the planes from taxiing when throttle is all the way down. I am using the extra 330S modified as recommended in the help forum to make it more realistic, but when I did, the throttle stays up way too high even when idle trim is set at cut off. I went and did calibration and have throws set at 100%. G2 box is working great also. The red bars on the properties page don't show full movement when the sticks are moved and I can't seem to change their movement any except down by percentage below 100%, which I think, would increase throttle idle, not decrease it.

When you calibrate you need to follow the directions exactly.
When it says put the sticks at neutral, that means in the middle. Sounds like your putting it at the bottom.
I believe that is the problem.

Maybe I'm not saying what's going on correctly... When the throttle stick is at center and trim is also at center, the red bar on the calibration page is also exactly at center (right on the center line). However, when I bring the throttle down to idle and trim also, the red bar retreats to the left but only about 2/3 of the way from the center, not all the way. I think that's why the engine is idling at about 2000rpm, but I may be wrong. Same thing for the high power setting, the red bar moves to the right about 2/3 of the way, not all the way. Is it supposed to do this?

Okay, I got it now, I wasn't calibrating, just looking at the throws on the screen. I needed to push the calibrate button
and move all the throws around for the G2 box to show AFPD where it was at neutral. Thanks for turning on the lightbulb!!

This sim is fantastic!!! I love everything about it ...
. No reason to really hype it up more then it really is. The sim does that itself real easy.
