Newie with TPM Panel troubles.

I am as new as the green tree in anyones back yard.

I just bought a "Saitek TPM Throttle/Proppeler/Mixture Panel", I connected it to my PC

downloaded the so call drivers and installed them.

I have a "CH SimYoke", and have been using the "Throttle/Prop/Mix" controls on the

CH Yoke.

Now that I have installed the "TPM Panel", when I pull/push on the "Throttlle" in the

new "TPM Panel", I see the Yoke move left and right, but nothing happens to the

engine accelaration.

Can someone help?

I told you I was green. Can be greener than that.

Thanks

Peter G

Go to your settings->options->controls (or wherever you have it) select your TPM module and then select the functions for the 3 levers. Make sure you are not in the buttons tab, the lever controls in the second tab, IIRC.

Thanks for your notes.

I did as you mentioned, but still have no control of the Throtle/Prop/Mixture with the TPM.

To tell you the truth I don't even know what IIRC is.

I went to Settings>Controls>and the 3rd Tab over. I chose the Throttle and picked to add a control

Then I pulled the Throttle lever ant "Throttle" was written in the field.

I did the same with the other two, Prop an Mixture.

Still no control from the TPM

I thank you very much for your prompt response.

Perhaps this is way above my head.
