I’ve found a useful feature of FSUIPC that may prove useful for anyone else with a controller that uses multiple levers for throttles. I have the registered version. I don't know if this tool is available in the free/unregistered version.
In the JOYSTICK CALIBRATION tab the controllers can be set to automatically detect the number of engines on an aircraft in the simulator and assign the correct levers to the desired axis of the controller.
In my instance I have a dual throttle control with Saitek’s X-55. I’ve been irritated with having to change axis assignments every time I switch from aircraft with one or two engines to aircraft with more. Selecting the MAP area under the “Throttle 4” section solved this for me. Now when I switch into a 4 engine aircraft the left throttle handle controls the left engines (1 & 2), while the right throttle handle controls the rights engines (3&4). Switching back into a twin reverts the left handle to engine 1 and the right handle to engine two. What a time/nag saver for me!!

- Ensure the axis are enabled in the simulator’s options.
- Open the FSUIPC interface
- Select the JOYSTICK CALIBRATION tab
- Press the [Right] arrow button to select “3 of 11: Separate throttles per engine”
- Adjust to desired operation in this menu.
