But indeed, you are right, it's direct binding of properties, so no wonder it was only affecting two engines
By curiosity, do you have the data or a link to it you use for various cruising speed/altitude, as well as maximum level flight speed ?
Just to have the same basis as you do for my own tweaking and tuning
Of course, if I get good results, I'll pass them on to you.
Thanks and cheers !!

Check the XML file for your stick - it may only have the throtttle and mixture levers mapped to engine[0] and engine[1] - I actually keep several versions of my joystick XML laying around because I have dual throttle levers, so I have versions that map engine[0] to left and engine[1] to right (for twin engine flying), a mapping with engine[0]+engine[1] on left and engine[2]+engine[3] on right (for 4 engine flying) and even a mapping with 0-1-2 on left and 3-4-5 on right for 6 engine flying.
I only have 1 mixture lever, so I have engines 0-7 all mapped to it, so it works no matter what I'm flying....
If you only have 1 throttle lever I'd just map engines 0-7 to it and that way you are covered no matter what you fly, do same for the mixtures also.
