TQ6 & PMDG T7 & 747 V3
Hi Steve,
I have some old threads regarding issues with the TQ6 (not advanced) but as its been quite long time since I have been able to fiddle with fsx, thats why a new thread. Im still have issues with the TQ6 with both T7 & 747 v3.
The throttles work flawlessly with the T7, however, cant make the reverser work. I have tried both with default PMDG/Ifly and with customizing myself. I end up having issues that when I pull the reverser for the right engine (well, the bush button with the TQ6) i end up having left engine on full reverse. Nothing happens with the right engine. Button setting is like this:
left engine, button event on, evt_control_stand_rev_thrust1_lever
button action = engine reverser.
The same for the thrust2_lever
for the 747v3 I still cant make any use of the throttles. I have assigne the speed brake, thrust levers, but once i push the levers, some of the reversers starts, speed brake goes all the way extended and so on.
Im using fsuipc also, but I have not assigned any fsuipc for these axes or buttons. Actually i cleared everything from fsuipc so that I could use goflight interface tool, but im definately doing something wrong.
I would need some support, willing to pay for it also
Cheers
Thomas
btw. Im still struggling also with the landing lights and taxiway lights as I cant assign three switches to one, so I could make all landing lights on just using one switch?

Have you checked in the flight sim itself for assignments to the TQ6. I know FSX has a dreadful habit of auto assigning axes even after you have cleared them. If possible untick "Use Controllers" in your flight sim and then use FSUIPC/GIT for all assignments.
For the reversers and the buttons, simply click the Default PMDG/iFly button on the TQ6 tab with the relevant aircraft loaded and they will be auto configured correctly.
There are cluster events in GIT to handle some functions with multiple switches in the VC. They all start as EVT_CLUSTER ..... E.g. EVT_CLUSTER_LANDING_LIGHTS for all the landing lights and EVT_CLUSTER_TURNOFF_LIGHTS for the turnoff lights etc.

Thanks, will double check that fsx is not assigned to any axes. What comes to the reverse & buttons, it does not solve the issue using the default PMDG/ifly button.
Will try the lights. Many thanks Steve, will report back
Thomas
Thx
Steve
Here´s the file zipped... Got the lights working, many thanks!
Still no luck with the TQ6, no controllers was enabled.
Once more try to explain my problem with the PMDG T7.
When I pull eg throttle left reverser all the way down, so that the button is pressed, it will actually make the toga button to be pressed. Throttle right reverser does nothing, or makes throttle left to go reverse... No axis or buttons configured via FSUIPC.... I have only few buttons assigned via fsx, and those are for pausing the game, virtual cockpit and few others, but nothing related to any aircraft options...
For 747 V3 I dont know even where to start... I cannot get even the thrusts set properly so I could fly the aircraft... When i move the thrust levers, suddenly speed brake goes all the extended, some of the thrust reversers go active... so basically the throttles goes completely bananas when I move those levers...
Appreciate your support!
Cheers
Thomas
The reversers will not engage unless the throttles are fully back. Check this when they don't work. It may be worth lowering the bottom axis limits for throttles so that they definitely signal fully back.
Your axis assignments are wrong. The TQ6 does have 6 axes, but two are not used as internally its like the 4 throttle version. So Axis A is the spoiler, then Axis C is Throttle 1, Axis D is Throttle 2 and the Flaps are Axis F. Simply reassign and calibrate based on this information and you should be good to go!
Best wishes

Thanks for the tips, got it working finally!
At least this thread can be closed as solved.
Cheers!
