Pete, I feel so stupid. Actually I bought both versions at Simmarket but caught the first one that was for FSX. :oops: Sorry for bothering. Regards Lorenzo

Just sent you a PM Pete, I am stuck here no matter what I do :sad: Regards Lorenzo

Hi Pete, I'm sorry to be back to you but it doesn't work, look at the screenshot: I've just copied and pasted as usual. I think there is something strange going on here the message that appears when I hit the "OK" button is clear. Can you help me? Thanks Lorenzo Schiavetti

Hi Pete, and thanks for your hint. I installed version 3.98 (the latest found at your site for FS9), that's probably the culprit. So basically I must install version 4.60 the one for FSX? Thanks Lorenzo Schiavetti

Hi Pete, after ages I am back to the old FS9 and made a clean reinstallation of the whole bunch, but surprise my old code doesn't work anymore. It was bought through Simmarket. Please let me know if you need all details so that you can check (hopefully). Thanks Lorenzo Schiavetti

Hi, I have a problem with the joy which is not calibrated correctly. In "hands-off" flying situation I got a bank to the right of 1 deg. every 3 seconds. It's not too much but unpleasant. I went to see the off-centre and I got this: In effects in neutral pos. I got -1092 against "0". Can you please tell me if there is any way to calibrate this via FSUIPC? I have tried to do it throught the software that comes with the Yoke but I failed. Thanks Lorenzo

That was the issue, now everything is fine. Thanks a lot. Lorenzo

Hi, finally I got the set up working, but I'm having problems with revers. Following point #4 above I have set max value - which works fine - but when I try to set idle -min position- I got a "dling" when saving. As per Scott's advice I have set idle at a level slightly above the stop but when I go back to the plane I find myself that revers are already working with my throttle at the stop (idle was placed slightly above the stop). Can you please tell me how to have idle exactly at lever stop, and revers triggered when pushing the button down (and not before that point)? Thank you Lorenzo PS:...forgot I'm working under FSX now.

Thanks Scott for your long explanation, shall try ASAP what you suggest. Cheers Lorenzo

Thanks Pete, oh..well I would do it in FS if I knew where to go. Under "Settings" I can't find any option to assign throttle to engine (at least that I know). Lorenzo

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have just bought the package Saitek, yoke, throttle and pedals. I'd like to know how to set up FSUIPC (registered) to assign each throttle to a different engine and configure revers properly; I'm using DF727. I know where to look at but I don't know what to do. :oops: Thanks a lot Lorenzo

Pete, do you have any particular suggestions on how to set up the SAITEK equipment (yoke+throttle quadrant+pedals) like you did for CH products? Or we can use the same hints? Thank you Lorenzo

HI Pete, just curious to know since I have to make a clean installation of FSX, I'd like to know if the new version got good results with FSX SP1 too. I will not install SP2 because of some graphic problems. Thanks Lorenzo

Pete, this happened to me too, I can't give you much details unfortunately, I can only tell you I was flying some circuits over Gatwick but indeed the shifts were unpredictable as Jordanal said, and HDG mode was unable to keep the track. I was using ASX. I could cry too... :cry: Lorenzo

And here we go: just made a flight on LevelD from Venice to Barcelona. Things seemed to be pretty normal on the ground at Venice I had wind 3 knots which was perfectly reasonable considering how it looked out of my window. Then, soon after Take off, I got the PC doing a refresh with the bar loading, then nothing...I mean no wind at all. It took me nearly one hour to see Wind 356 @ 0 Kn. How is it possible? IMO there must be some kind of problem in the way Simconnect receives and provides wind data within the simulator as I don't really believe that today across Europe at FL360 there wasn't any wind at all! During the approach say at 3000 feet I got a normal wind back. In some moments during cruise I had some "unusual" and sudden wind changes like Bill told you...but always at 0 knots :roll: Anyway I have the latest release as I visit the sticky thread on daily basis now. Regards Lorenzo

Hi Pete, OK, my previous post was a bit dark in its way, the fact is that yes the stuttering problems seem to have recovered, but I still get (sometimes) nervous climbing towards cruise level. That's why I asked you: only to show you what I meant and, possibly, to find a "fine tuning". Also I'm experiencing Bill's same problems with PMDG, she turns apparently without any specific reasons to "ghost" headings notwithstanding the fact that the heading bug is on "hold". I have found that this happens only when ASX or internal FSX weather generator is enable, as I didn't get this problem with "0" wind or preset wind. Thank you Lorenzo

Hi Pete, I wanted to take a piece of footage of a Take off on a LevelD to show you how the plane behaves. The problem is that I don't have the min idea of what to do to send you something to work on. Could you please tell me what to do? Thanks a lot. Lorenzo

Hi everybody, yesterday I have tried with a new set up and the results are now better. Although my video card is DirectX 10 compatible (GForce 8600) I have found that enabling that option was scewing up many things and eating out lots of resources within my system. Now it is much better, I still have some stutters but I suppose it's because I fly with all sliders set at least in middle position, as in min position the earth seems really a neverending desert. It used to be so in FS9 too. Let's go on with tests: sooner or later I'll find the compromise to work with FSX as if it was FS9 :mrgreen: Regards Lorenzo PS: Thanks Jim for reading this post :wink:

Thanks Peter, I will try this evening. Lorenzo

Well, actually without ASX the PMDG works perfectly, there must be something in ASX that effects the way the heading is managed, I don't believe it is connected to FSUIPC, as I have tried also with an unregistered version and had the same problems. But Mr. JSkorna is listening I would really like to help but I don't know in which way. Lorenzo

Well I have tried with PMDG and found that she behaves more or less like LevelD. The only difference is that PMDG can't keep the heading assigned. Of course this is not related to FSUIPC but it's strange. Anyway the problem is ASX. It's a tremendous FPS eater and this, of course, effects the whole system. The fact is that basically FSX is nothing more than a beta test simulator, I wonder how other add-ons can interact with a program that, in itself, isn't working fine. Cheers Lorenzo

Yes it was with LevelD. I couldn't test PMDG yet, but will be a pleasure. Lorenzo

Hi, just made some tests with the new beta version, and I must say that is not bad at all. The wind was still a bit struggling but not so much until 8000 feet and barometric pressure was much more reliable and reminded me the old times in FS9. I think you made a good step foward with this Pete. Cheers Lorenzo

..aaah..OK good to know Bill. Then it's not bad :mrgreen: BTW in South Africa storms are incredible (been there in honeymoon lately). Well, actually it depends on the place I have flown, but more or less I should say that yes it varies of a couple of knots, but very nervously. Anyway shall do some other tests in a quiter and more realistic situation when I'm back home. You are right there, but personally I'd like to have a "smooooth" and maybe unrealistic climb rather than a bumpy and so nervous one. FS9 was perfect under this point of view altough I have never had the opportunity of a single high cross wind landing since everything was too smooth (which is also unreal). All I can say is: keep up the good job. Cheers Lorenzo EDIT: I have noted that using PMDG 747 it was also worst. The plane couldn't even turn and catch the set heading because of this nervous behaviour. But I have heard other comments somewhere on this issue.

Hi Bill, well good to know I'm not the only one in Keflavik :wink: I have one question since I'm using the LevelD too: can you actually see the plane shaking while you are on the ground before TO? It's incredible how the a/c reacts to the strong wind gust; I don't know how realistic this is, but it looks great. And yes, as I said, after take off the direction is stable but the airpeed tape jumps up and down, pushing “SHIFT+Z” (but also looking at the EHSI) I can see the wind jumping up and down nervously from 40 to 48 knots (for example). This, of course, effects also the groundspeed; but all of this disappears while at cruise level where no changes seem to happen and everything comes back to normal. Are you having the same experience? I dare to ask you this to be sure everything is normal and I’m not having some corruption in my system. Thank you Lorenzo
