So for awhile now I've been having trouble with my Saitek Throttle. Whenever I move my throttle to idle or even increase it a little bit my throttle goes nuts, originally I thought it was from registering FSUIPC (since it started happening right after) but I don't think thats the case. This often causes my reverse thrust to engage when I'm on the ground since I use one of the levers for it. Here is a video of what happens, the throttle quadrant was at idle when I made this video. I tried recalibrating it in with FSUIPC and windows but it hasn't done anything. Anybody else have this problem before? Guessing it's just a hardware issue now...

Could your sensitivity settings may have gotten messed up in FS?

If I understand the problem correctly, it was something I "fixed" (err, minimized) when calibrating with FSUIPC. I set the "Idle" value to be pretty wide by moving the throttle forward of the detent and pressing "set" and then moving it aft of the detent and selecting "set" again. This basically creates a wider null zone so the throttle doesn't bounce around at idle and get into reverse. Some chatter is still present though, but it's not unmanageable.

EDIT: This is with my CH throttle quad... Not sure if it's specifically applicable to the Saitek, but worth a shot if you haven't tried that already.

Thanks for the help guys, Trevor I just did what you said it that will work for me. Also I had the throttle axis setup in FS as well as FSUIPC so once I deleted it from FS that made a big difference.
