Thank you Thomas. I managed to make it work ! Fantastic ! - I now am focused on the WXR SA 1.6 FSUIPC controls do you have any advice on that? - I also have a problem with TOGA switch on the thottles disengaging the AT. - I am trying to connect the Fire Panel (using phidgets 0/16/16) card to FS2Phidgets to be able to control the fire panel via Project Magenta Instructor Station. Is there a more simple way to make this work? Many thanks

I disabled the buttons in the FSUIPC.ini file with // and turned off the system 737 trim funtion but still with the OBCO offset configured in FSUIPC it steps the trim, it is not smooth. Strange thing is, when i configure this offset for the first time sometimes it worked (total of 3 times in over 5 hours). I then restart the sim, and the old problem is back. Thank you

I mean enabling the system 737 trim function stopped all movement from the yoke trim switch, but i dont know what the "original" trim switches were configured as. Thank you

Dear Thomas Thank you, i have attached my current FSUIPC.ini it should show the offset. I tried disanbling in system 737 trim, it locked the trim so the yokes didnt work. But i dont know what the buttons for trim with the original system 737 work are. From the inforamtion above could you know what they are? Thank you

Dear All, Hope you are well. I have a problem with my home cockpit. It incorporates two yokes, both with trim switches as per the real thing. They are connected to TSR Systems (both on prority 0) on a wideclient pc "instrument 2". Inputs are being read by FSUIPC on the FSX "server" pc and I can successfully trim up and down without issue on both yokes. The problem: I cannot make either yoke's input, repeat (even though it is selected in FSUIPC) like the real trim in the real aircraft allowing for smooth trim movements by holding down the yoke switch. For example to trim down by one push on the FOs yoke moves the trim down a step at the moment. I have studied and found that instead of using the FSUIPC dedicated options for trim dw/up you can use offsets. I have used offsets X0BCO and it increases the step size (16383 etc) but the step problem remains. To troubleshoot I thought that the sim could be experiencing conflicts. I removed all Trim selections from FSUIPC and I confirm no FSX controls are active in the FSX GUI. However the trim still moves. So this hypothesis seems to be correct. In the FSUIPC file attached I see buttons that have been configured. I cannot see them in the FSUIPC GUI. So I think they have been added outside the program. Linda? LUA? I don't know. Could you kindly look at the file and advise what the keys translate to? ie. the name? of most importance are the trim keys - I will delete them. If you can help identify more than even better. Just to add, I know by updating these would be annotated. But I am worried updating will loose any configs and or previous programming. If Mr. Thomas Richter is out there, I believe he did a lot of work on this sim in the past. It maybe that he in fact programmed this originally. If you could point me in the right direction as to how to make this work I would be very grateful. Thank you for a great program. KR Nick FSUIPC4.ini

Sorry for the confusion. I dont want to start a fire using the fire panel. I want to use project magenta instructor station to start a fire, - it connects to FSUIPC i presume. I would then like fsuipc to output via fs2phidgets (or anyother solution) to illuminate the fire panel. I appreciate it isnt very clear, the reason is im not very clear on it myself. However i presume there is a offset that can be selected in the instructor station. thank you

Thank you Pete. It seems i disabled wideclient scanning. All is well. I have a second question about setting engine fires. I am using project magenta instructor station and TSR 737 system in place of PMsystem. I notice this post many years ago, http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-10296.html and i would like to figure it out. I have the fail.txt attached - would you be kind enough to give me any guidance if applicable? The fire panel is using phidgets - i presume i would need fs2phidgets to connect up the offsets? thank you FailureInfo.txt

Thank you Pete. I will update at once. My ace yoke is connected to comp 2 running the TSR system. When i go to the button assignments tab on the server (fsx) computer, it doesnt change when i press the button on the yoke. ie. the message doesnt get from the yoke - comp2-wideclient-wideserver-fsuipc. Perhaps there is something in the wideclient.ini that i should put in there? What could i try? Thank you very much. Nick

Dear Pete, i trust you are well. I have a strange request. I have a set of keypresses in my FSUIPC4 file on the fsx server, but i do not know what they are for. Coupled to that wideclient.ini on comp 2 doesnt have anything inside. I appreciate this is in the manual, and i have been looking for a solution but i cannot a way forward. Essentially i would like to have my ACE yoke button presses on Comp2 recognised on Comp1 (server) via widefs, so that i can trim. Do let me know what you suggest. Thank you FSUIPC4.ini

Thank you, I will do as you suggest. two questions 1. Where can I find the wideserver ini file? it is not in the fsx modules folder in my sim. 2. I have a problem with the pfd and nd (comp 1), i the ils , vor or adf data keeps reloading every 5 seconds. I can’t do ils approaches as the autopilot app mode kicks out . By chance I tried the sim without computer 2, (also running wideclient )- and the problem dissapeared. It seems that as soon as wideclient is active on boh computers they both fight for data. What could I try? Thanks for all your help, nick

Finally the server computer running wideserver. Thank you again for your help. With best Wishes Nick. P.s The TSR software is yes from Mr. Thomas Richter, it is the heart of the simulator taking controls, the overhead, phidgets and more into the fold. It is running on comp 2. Right now i have a problem with it - i am speaking to Thomas who is kindly helping me work it out. Shoudl you be be in a positijon to work out why it says that "the FSUIPC is not registered" or work out from the logs why it isnt working properly that would be great. The TSR eicas that i am running is also experiencing severe issues, with it blinking, not mirroing the position of the thottle levers (freezing) and ultimately being very unstable.

Dear Pete Thank you for your email. Please find the first of three attachements. The first is for comp 1. It is a instrument computer running wideclient. Thank you Nick Comp1.zip

Dear Mr. Dowson. Thanks for great software. I have a problem with TSR Eicas and TSR System working together. My setup Is across 3 computers via a router. comp 1 (server) running FSX, FSUIPC, Comp 2 Running TSR Eicas, System, Wideclient Comp 3 Running Wideclient. and Tekworx InterfaceIT software (for the FDS SYS 1 card) for the overhead. When I run the TSR system on comp 2, comp 3 recognises the physical switch inputs and makes the appropriate changes on the overhead. When I run TSR system + TSR Eicas the Eicas flickers on an off, and the TSR software eventually shows the following (sorry a registered FSUIPC is required). I would like to attach pictures but this forum only allows for 20kb. Could it be wideclient not having enough capacity? is there a setting I could change?
