Is there any way of making this compatible with the Throttles Toggle / On / Off commands within FSUIPC? I need to use turn the throttles off, as when throttles are configured via FSUIPC, they will always override the autothrottle on the PMDG 737 NGX. But when Throttle Manager is running, the Throttle Toggle command within FSUIPC doesn't work - the throttles are always active. Regards, Phil

Thanks for the fix Pete. Excellent service as always.

Thanks for the reply Pete. I wasn't initially using the latest version, but I did install the latest version, and had the same problems. I've tried with a number of different switches / buttons / keyboard buttons, and a number of different aircraft, both thrid party and default. I even tried deleting FSUIPC.ini in order for it to be rebuilt, and still had the same issue.

Has anyone had any luck in using the "Throttles Off" or "Throttles Toggle" command in FSUIPC to disable the throttle inputs? I have tried both commands, but they have absolutely no effect on the throttle input. I have tried with the throttles mapped in FSX itself, and with the throttles mapped through FSUIPC, and tried with multiple payware and stock aircraft. Whatever I try, the throttles continue to send data to FSX, which in turn changes the throttle settings. Thanks for any help... -Phil

Is there an option within FSUIPC to disable the joysticks with a key press. There is a Joystick on/off option within FSX's own control menu, but it only controls aspects that have been calibrated through the FSX control menu. My throttles that are calibrated through FSUIPC still function. I would like to be able to disable the throttles when the autothrottle is active to stop the throttles overriding the auto throttle. Thanks, Phil

Thanks for the great support Pete. Unfortunately, work has intruded and so I'll test it on my next set of days off and let you know whether it works. Thanks again. -Phil

Sorry Pete, I did actually mean v3.82 (16 Jul 08) and 3.85 (14 Nov 08). I've updated my first post to reflect this. -Phil

I've started having problems with the flap lever for the PMDG 747 in FS9. It sounds like exactly the same problem another user has had, but in FSX: http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=73202&st=0&sk=t&sd=a It has only started after I installed the PMDG MD11, when, during it's installation, it installed the latest FSUIPC.dll for FS9 (v3.85). Prior to this, I was using v3.82 with no problems. I have gone back to using 3.82, and the issue is resolved, but using 3.85, the following happened: Flap Lever Position.......747 Flap Setting Up (min)...................Up 1............................Up 5............................1 10...........................5 20...........................10 25...........................20 30 (max)...................25 I was unable to get to flap 30 without using the 2D panel. FSUIPC seemed to be workin g correctly - the flaps axis was sent to FSUIPC for callibration, and it was callibrated correctly. The OUT value would change for flaps 1, but the 747 didn't respond until the lever wwas put at flaps 5, when the 747 then moved flaps to 1. If the axis was not callibrated, the full range was achievable, albeit in the wrong direction. From reading the above post, it does seem like exactly the same problem, just with FS9. -Phil

Is it possible to use FSUIPC to pause Flight Sim 9 when a failure occurs in the PMDG 747/737 or the LDS 767? I'm away from the sim during the cruise, but I do want to enable failures. Any help would be appreciated. -Phil

My Saitek Pro Flight Yoke is feeling a bit too sensitive, despite the sensitivity setting in FS9 being at the far left (where I'm assuming left is less sensitive, right is more sensitive - this correct?). I tried altering this in FSUIPC, and while the slope setting is useful, I would prefer a setting whereby I can reduce the overall sensitivty even further, as opposed to the slope feature, whereby the input will shoot up in the middle of the axis, much like the CH Manager does for my old CH Yoke. Is this possible with FSUIPC?
