    Steve,
    Not sure why you would only use one slider for the throttle, but FSUIPC calibrates them nicely.

    Just set the throttles up as one axes. Same with the reversers. In other words, just set the axis that you have to throttle 1 and 2 and do the same with the reverser.

    Reversers

    Hi Steve,
    My reversers work with a single switch operated by a cam on my left reverser lever. Sim-Boards command (F2) repeatedly every 50milliseconds when the switch makes reversing both engines, and when the lever is released and the switch opens, (F1) is sent once, cancelling F2. This works well and does the trick. I fitted switches to both of my reverser levers when I made them so now I'll probably use the switch in the right one to operate an indicator or something.
    Do phidgets do repeat key presses?
    Hope this is usefull!
