Hi,

first of all I want to tell you that I'm absolutely a newbie with gauges so maybe my questions can sound "stupid" but...be patient !
I'm building a home cockpit to reproduce the ATR42-500, specifically a cockpit based on the panel by Sanchez-Castaner (I think many of you know that panel) for FS2004.
I wrote a small external application that reads input axis of a joystick (used to build the throttle quadrant), assign those axis according to a user configuration (made with this program) and through FSUIPC (3.50) drive the correspondant control (engine levers, prop pitch lever, flaps etc etc) of the currently selected aircraft.
And now the problem: the panel of Sanchez-Castaner has some gauges that, I think, are not standard gauges of FS2004 and so are not accessible through FSUIPC.
They are: the power management selector and the Condition levers.
My problem is to drive those 2 condition levers that seems I can't assign to any of the FS2004 assignements.
I tried with Prop Pitch Levers, Mixture levers but they don't move.
I can move them only with the mouse.
So the question is:
is there a way to modify that gauge (condition levers) to assign them to the Prop Pitch Levers control?
They are located in the throttle quadrant and have 4 positions:
FO, Feather, Auto and MAX.

Thank you, regards.

Bob
