Flyer626

Did a takeoff and landing with flaps configured with regular axis assignment and all the detents. No issues. Guess PMDG is perplexing software that needs somethings there way and others not, I did learn somethings that I didn't know before so this was not a wasted exercise. Thanks for your help and time.

I am aware of the power issue and it only affected the throttles and that is why they are calibrated according to PMDG requirements. Flaps did not have any issues when set it with regular calibrations on speed or power. I had to do a firmware update on my Intel chip due to it being unstable as informed by my computer maker Dell. I will try your suggestion first about rotor brakes before I revert back to regular flaps calibration.

contacted the throttle maker, they said they make the throttle with PMDG in mind. Not a hardware issue. I don't use LINDA. What were you referring to about roto brakes settings, don't understand or know anything about it. Since my flaps were working with the regular axis assignment I'll will try that again. They worked on the ground with engines running but not while I was flying or landing,, have to know why is that. Very puzzling.

for when you return, yes I can custom control a button. right now I can just turn it off have to figure out how to turn it on, it's a light button

I now assigned a button with the value 74702 for flaps one, no movement. I would have to presume by this that it will not work for me as an AXIS ASSIGNMENT as we have tried. If you know of something else that maybe is wrong and interfering in someway from making it operate let me know, thanks FSUIPC6.log

I saw nothing happen. I will now try to assign a button for a flap setting. I know I have a button set for flap incr and decr and it does work. FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.log

I have made many attempts to configure this,, this is the last one, the numbers look right but no movement occurs. My throttles are set up for a PMDG 777 and they work fine. Curious thing my spoilers are set up the regular way and they work in the aircraft in the simulator fine. The buttons set up for incr and decr flaps also work fine. I use an add on util for voice control of my flaps and that works also. Just was trying to configure these in case support for voice control goes away with a windows update in the future as a back up. The add on voice control util is longer supported in P3D, so I don't expect an update when change occurs. Thanks for the help, just not sure what I else I can do to make it work. FSUIPC6.ini

I am not able to manually enter anything into the boxes and if I manually change the file it will just get overwritten. FSUIPC6.ini

I did actually put those control numbers in correctly but the program changed them because I did something incorrectly. That is what I am trying to figure out. Please be patient, there are no step by step instructions for doing this like there is for buttons and keys. So excuse my frustration, I will get it corrected but there is no rush on my part. I am using sort of trial and error procedure on my part. FSUIPC6.ini

I'm doing something wrong but i don't what Prepar3D 2024.10.16 - 13.21.10.03.DVR.mp4 FSUIPC6.ini

another attempt, still no movement of flaps FSUIPC6.ini

Not working for me, what did I do wrong? FSUIPC6.ini

don't exactly know what I did but now I have all my detents working including 30. I did reset the flaps in joystick config and started setting them again. This time it worked but going flaps up sometimes I have to play with handle to make it work, can't figure that one out. My axis assignment is just flaps, not flaps set that wouldn't work. You can compare the difference that is why I sent an updated file. thanks. Any feedback is always welcomed. FSUIPC6.ini

unable to config flaps 30 but all others work on my throttles, up, 1,5,15,20,25. since this is a boeing 787 throttle could that be the issue. If it is I will use a button to get to flaps 30. FSUIPC6.ini

I did not know about the key file, sorry, my apologies. I also do not believe your software has anything to do with this event but I was pointed in your direction by the iflly forum by someone who had the same issue and they deleted the ini file to resolve it. I don't and won't do that. This btw is a Pre3D plane not msfs. Does the event log show anything of that might cause this. I will go back to the ifly forum for help if it really is there problem.
