  1. FSUIPC Latest Version

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have been out of the simming world for about 15 years and thinking of getting back into it.  I am thinking about using the PMDG 737 NGXu and P3d v 5.  I am wondering if the latest FSUIPC has the macro's and offsets for the 737 or do I have to create my own? I remember 15 years ago having to make a macro for my homemade overhead panel.

    Many Thanks

  4. PMDG 737NGX CUSTOM CONTROLS

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am having trouble using the controls for the PMDG 737 NGX. Two of the controls I have been trying to use are the Reverse Thrust controls. I entered the number (70312 for #1 and 7313 for #2) and selected 0 for Off and 1 for On but they didn't work - no movement of the 737 Reverse Thrust levers. I have tried with 0 for On and 1 for Off but no difference. I'm not sure if I have missed something. Any help woul;d be greatly appreciated.

    Many Thanks

  8. Offsets for PMDG 737NGX - Idle/Cutoff levers

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me which offsets and parameters work with the Idle Cutoff levers in the PMDG 737NGX, and what type of offset they are? Someone gave me the following offsets, but they change when I click OK. Offset for Eng #1 - 70320, and for # 2 - 70321. When I input these numbers, they change to x0320 and x0321 after clicking OK. I want to assign a button to control the levers.

    Thanks

  10. Ifly FSX/Saitek TQ/Flaps Control

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi Pete,

    I'm having trouble getting the Saitek TQ to work the flaps. I calibrated the axis as per the guide and it states 9 detents. However the flap lever works somewhat in reverse and also will not go back to zero flaps. I have tried it with the REV checked and it doesn't seem to make a difference. What happens is that I move the lever and the flaps go to 40, then I move it again and it goes back to flaps 2, and within one "click" (slight movement of the lever), the flaps direction changes. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thanks

  12. Level D 767

    Hi Pete,

    In the Offset window I enter 0x8b18 (for IAS) and in the parameter window I enter 100/950. After clicking on OK I close FSUIPC. When I reopen FSUIPC and turn the rotary, in the Offset window I get x0000 and in the parameter window I get 100/950. I have tried using different types of offsets but the same thing happens regardless of what type of offset is chosen.

  17. Level D 767

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for you help.

    The Level D has an interface as you mentioned and there are offsets for the rotaries. However I'm having a problem in setting these offsets. The lekseecon id's are 296, 297, 298, 299 for the IAS, Hdg, Vs, and Alt. and the offsets identified are

    0x8b1b for the IAS, 0x8b1c for the Hdg, 0x8b20 for the VS, and 0x8b24 for the Alt. I am unsure of how to set these in the FSUIPC drop down menu as they are rotaries on the GF RP48. Can you advise me how to do this, I looked in the users manuals but couldn't find examples of the GF rotaries.

    Many Thanks

    Rob

  18. Level D 767

    Hi Pete,

    I am having a problem with the Level D 767. I am trying to use a Go Flight RP 48 to set up the MCP and EFIS, thro FSUIPC. I have done this with the PMDG 737 & 747 - no problems. However with the Level D, the rotaries tend to jump around all over the place and the numbers will suddenly jump by 10 or 20 on the heading or 100-500 feet on the altitude. I am using the Leve d key commands and setting them to both the fast and slow speeds of the rotaries. Any thoughts or is this a level D issue?

    Many Thanks

  19. Multiple actions of a switch.

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for your hep. I have read the user guide and advanced user guide and to be honest I couldn't understand some of it (most of it!). What I am trying to do is use a 737 TQ for a 747 and need to know how to set one micro switch up to start eng 1 & 2 fuel flow, and the second switch to start eng 3 & 4 fuel flow. Additionally I'd like the reversers to do the same - reverser 1 assigned to engine 1 & 2 and reverser 2 assigned to engine 3 & 4. Can you tell me how I go about this in FSUIPC. I'm OK with the throttle axis.

    Many Thanks

    Rob

  22. Saitek TQ

    Hi Pete,

    I have fs9.1 and am using FSUIPC to work the throttles. My setup is the Saitek Pro Flight and two Saitek TQ's, one is connected to the yoke by USB and the other to the yoke with what looks like a PS2 connection. I have set up my throttles for the PMDG 747 using the axis and calibration menu of FSUIPC so both throttles are set up the same. However the throttles that are connected to the yoke with a "PS2" connection (Throttles 3 & 4) do not respond until the levers have been cycled once through full range. The other throttles, 1 & 2 work OK. I have reset and re-calibrated them with no luck. The other thing I've noticed on the calibration page is the following when I open FSUIPC before touching the levers.

    For the two OK throttles (#1&2) -16384 IN

    0 OUT

    For the other two throttles (#3&4) 16383 IN

    16384 OUT

    After cycling #3&4 the values change to the same as #1&2. Throttles #3&4 are the ones that I'm having the problem with and are connected with the "PS2" connection to the yoke (they come as part of the flight yoke.) Additionally sometime throttles 3 & 4 are set in the full throttle position when I ope the Thr. window in the 747. Again they go back to normal after recycling them twice.

    I would appreciate any advice you may give me. I have ensured that all settings in other areas - FS, Saitek SST software are not interfering with FSUIPC.

    Many Thanks

    Rob

  24. ??ghosting??

    Hi Peter,

    A strange things has just started happening. I use the PMDG 737 and have used your macro for assigning switches etc. Everything has been working fine since I started using the macro and all of a sudden I am getting an action from the fuel ctrl switch that lowers or raises the landing gear. The only change I have made to anything is in increasing the clock time in my BIOS which I did yesterday and that was when this issue started. Could there be a connection between the two - overclosking by 10% as per ASUS manual and having this switch work both the fuel and landing gear? The left center fuel is all that is assigned to this particular switch.

    I tried clearing the assignment and reassigning the switch but it didn't make any difference. It is only on the Left Center fuel switch that this happens.

    Thanks

  25. Editing the FSUIPC.Ini file

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    I did not look for the letter A. I looked for A, 2. As per your previous email you said the numbers on the right of the = sign would be A,0. So I was looking for that conbination and also A,2. There was no mention by you of a possible further letter such as P or U or other as I pointed out in my email.

    As for editing I used the "find" facility in notepad and it didn't find anything. I tried several versions of PA,2, A,2, A 2 etc. I presume this is the editor you are referring to. I do not know of any other editors relating to notepad.

    Thanks

    Rob
