I can't get the spoiler lever to move correctly when the wheels touch the ground... in theory I get some signal from offset 0366, but not always... even though on the aircraft and the indicator on the EFIS the spoilers go up. Would the numbers 2,4,4 be the Bytes? Is that correct? max

hi John, I have two questions for you, because I'm not clear on a few things. the first one, in your table of offsets for P3D you put 3 offsets for the spoilers: 0366, 0BCC and 0BD0, out of what is written on the table itself, can you explain me exactly what these are for, what they do exactly? I already have the second question, I'll ask it according to what you answer me... I'm just asking because I've been trying for a week to move a lever, but I can't do it...., so first of all I'd like a clear explanation of these 3 offsets. thank you very much max

no problem... 😉

Sorry but this is me... referring to throttle.... 😁 thanks anyway... max

*** Moved from User Contributions sub-forum to main support forum *** Hi, I'm using Mobiflight to configure my motorized TQ, unfortunately the spoilers don't work or better it's only the lever that doesn't move, in the offset configuration table for P3D, I found these 3: 0BCC 4 Spoiler arm (0=off, 1=arm for automatic deployment) ** 0BD0 4 Spoilers control, 0 off, 4800 arm, then from 5620 (7%) to 16383 (100% fully deployed). The 4800 value is set by the armour. Values from 0 to some close, but less than 4800 do nothing. The percentage range is the proportion of the distance in the range 4800 to 16383, although although values from 4800 to 5619 cannot be used-7% seems to be the minimum. 0336 Aircraft on ground flag (0=airbone, 1=on ground). Does not update in Slew mode but this parameter: 0=off, 1=airbone for automatic deployment, how is it set? for those who use mobiflight where is it set? regards max

Hi, After 3 weeks of intensive work to motorize a TQ I finally succeeded. It's a topic that has been covered by many people but no one has ever posted the solution, I don't know if it's because they didn't succeed or because they kept it to themselves. I chose to share it. The main problem was to install the 3 servomotors for the 2 throttles and the BRK SPD inside a FlightSimPM TQ, the second and more difficult step was to connect the servomotors with an Arduino Mega board and configure it with Mobiflight + Prosim738. It was not easy because there was the problem of blocking the servo as soon as it was connected to the MEGA, so it was necessary to add two relays that through a configuration on Mobiflight as if it was a led and on Prosim as if it was a solenoid you have the disconnection of the servomotor from the 5v or signal, being able to move the throttle lever in manual mode. Below are the wiring and configuration diagrams.

yes certainly no problem regards max

ok I finally got it.... tomorrow wiring diagram and configuration

tomorrow I'll try a relay.... then I'll update you... for now thanks for your helpfulness

no it was an example prosim configuration my problem was to connect the servos (servomotors) with prosim via FSUIPC offsets and finally i succeeded, problem solved... with Arduino + Mobiflight + Prosim738 now my TQ is motorized... the throttle levers move fine but I haven't solved the last problem: once I disconnect the autopilot, the servomotors always remain active, they always remain energized and so I can't move the throttle levers in manual mode... I think I will need a relay to disconnect the signal. Max

hi, finally they work correctly moving the throttles the servos move... activating TOGA the servos move following the engine revs.... only the problem of the servo lock in manual mode remains... in practice, in addition to the normal configuration that is done through the "Analog Input", add a second configuration in "Servo Output" by entering FSUIPC 8 bit U and in the box next to it the OffSet reference 0x0000.0 the only problem is that once the autopilot is disconnected the servos are still live, locked, as if the autopilot was always on, I tried disconnecting the voltage but nothing... only by disconnecting the servo signal cable they are free for manual movement... I need to figure out how to do this... any ideas?

yes if you move the lever it moves everything on the plane…. you don't see anything on the software… you set the offset first and then it stays and it doesn't change….

"What vales? In offset 0x0BD0? " yes i used this value, yes i know this is a big problem... I wrote on the forum prosim see if someone answers me ... on prosim I configured them normally via the USB board of the potentiometers ... I had to put the values of the Arduino? or FSUIPC? if yes how?

thank you very much for your help ... Again, have you tried monitoring offset 0x0BD0 to check that the values in that offset are changing? If they are, then the problem must be in sending those values to the TQ. honestly, I'm not understanding anything anymore ... on the other hand I'm translating with google so he translates many things in his own way and that's why I don't understand ... I tried all the possible and imaginable offsets ... the lever when in ARM does not move when it touches the ground, but the spoilers on the plane rise, obviously if I move the lever manually the spoilers rise ... but not automatically ... I have attached the images to show you the configuration ... then I don't know if you know mobiflight ... values do not change ...

is prosim738 737 version 1.56 visual model and 3.43 flight model I don't use PMDG or anything else ... yes, the lever does not move ... So what is the difference now - a different aircraft? no a different TQ ...

hi, John, I use P3D v5 hf2 and I use his airplane 737 version 1.56 yes the spoilers of the plane are raised and the lever that does not move ... i tried with offset 0x0BD0 and 0x0BCC but also Offset $ 0366 since I used SIOC before and with it it worked with this offset but nothing to do ... max

Hi I'm motorizing a TQ with a MEGA 2065 and Mobiflight software.. I have a problem with offsets, but reading endless forum pages on this topic. I found that I was putting the wrong Offset. my project is to motorize a non-motorized TQ, with servomotors, as installing the motors would complicate the structure of the TQ too much. Regarding the offsets, initially I did not understand how they were configured then reading the various posts I understood how it works ... as well as finding the file where you can find all the FSUIPC OFFSETs. which I am attaching here: OFFSET FSUIPC these are the OffSet settings: Throttle 1 0x088C from –4096 to +16384 Throttle 2 0x0924 from –4096 to +16384 Spoilers arm 0x0BCC 4 (0 = off, 1 = arm for auto deployment) Spoilers control 0x0BD0, 0 off, 4800 arm, then 5620 (7%) to 16383 (100% fully deployed). The 4800 value is set by arming. Values from 0 to somewhere close to, but below, 4800 do nothing. The percentage extension is the proportion of the distance in the range 4800 to 16383, even though values 4800 to 5619 cannot be used — 7% seems to be the minimum. unfortunately it does not work ... the lever of the spoiler does not move when I touch the ground ... and when I accelerate it does not come back ... where am I wrong? regards max

FlightPM has nothing to do with it because I make the motorization from scratch ... they don't make them motorized ... my question refers to the question of with a servomotor with what kind of board can I connect them and then use FSUP to make it work would you know how to operate a TQ with FSUPC? MAx

Hi I have Prosim738 + P3dv5.3 hf1 + FSUPC 6.1.7 I want to motorize a FlightPM TQ, I would like to use full metal servos with these characteristics Electrical specifications ： 1) Operating voltage range: 4.8 - 6.8V 2) Operating speed (5.0V): 0.15sec / 60 degree 3) Operating speed (6.8V): 0.13sec / 60 degree 4) Stall torque (5.0V): 21kg / cm 5) Stall torque (6.8V): 25kg / cm these on the throttle and lever of the SPD BRK Question: Can I configure it with FSUPC? on which board can I connect the servomotors? with a leobodnar BU0836? where can I find some configuration and connection diagrams? regards Max

tried, for now it works ... 👍

Hello ALL .... does it happen to someone not being able to start the engines? as soon as the engines start and the "start engine" goes off the engines are turned off ... yet I follow the checklist ... I posted this question to prosim but some have told me that it is a known problem ... that is solved in FSUIPC set the "extended battery" active with 0 minutes... thats it does anyone know anything? are you aware of this problem? regards max

I found the solution !!! sorry Pete but I disagree ... IVAO in a way has nothing to do with it ... and I'll explain: ok in Buttons & Switches and "select for FS control" doesn't work, but you can get around the problem by making IVAO believe that press a button on the keyboard, therefore the first thing you have to do is set a random key on the IVAO configuration to talk with the ATC, then open FSUIPC / Buttons & Switches, press the yoke button, then select "Select for Key press" and under the press the key box set the previously chosen key and repeat it in the box under "key press to repeat while held". With this configuration the yoke button push to talk, works !! problem solved!! max
