Many thanks Pete. One of the Forums that I use, mentions a 'mouse catching' system in FSUIPC. Yes, I am going to ask you if it exists, what it does and where can it be found? Maybe it can be found under a different description? Thanks again. Tony.

Pete. Thanks for the help. I have had a look at the impressive files - but I cant quite see how the "List of FS2004 Controls" comes into play? Sorry to be a bit dumb! How would it normally be used? Thanks. Tony.

I wish to purchase FSUIPC. My flightsim computer is not (and will not) be connected to the internet. Can I download to this (a seperate computer), and transfer FSUIPC to the flightsim computer by disc or memory stick? - or is there a cd version that I could buy? Tony.

I have not yet purchased FSUIPC as I need to know more about it before I do! Putting the cart before the horse is not a satisfactory way of buying a product. "Where else should it be" - clearly available for potential customers to see before they buy. I am sorry that I was not clear when referring to functions built in by the aircraft designer. This aircraft of course would be an 'add-on' and as such cannot be considered by FSUIPC. Under these circumstances, I presume that it would not be an advantage to use FSUIPC with the Majestic Dash 8 add-on in the areas that I have mentioned? I realise that I use non technical plain language, but I am not a technician. Even though I am uncertain as to the value of FSUIPC to me, it's reputation precedes it, and I will be purchasing it (and hoping). Thanks for your time. Tony.

I dont suggest that anything is already written in gobbldegook - I just asked for guidance that did not involve it! Please let me know where I can find the "FSUIPC user guide". Yes, I have looked for it, and yes I do try to understand FSUIPC but sadly, most people that I speak to simply cannot speak plain english. I was under the impression that FSUIPC could do more than read keystrokes which KE72 already does. I am aware that it has many other functions, but cockpit operation is my primary concern. I presume that FSUIPC is only capable of listing items included within the design of the aircraft and can be translated as key presses? I expect to use Majestic's Dash 8 pro. As you can see, I am still very much in the dark and look forward to reading the 'user guide'. Tony Gerard. PPL.

HELLO. I am about to purchase Majestic's Dash 8 which is very close to the real aircraft. I am hoping to provide all or most actual buttons/switches etc but I am at a loss as to how to make them function within the programme? I have no doubt that they can be mouse activated, but this would destroy any realism! I have a Hagstrom ke72 which allows me to interface switches using keyboard codes, but this may not be sufficient for the various devices on the overhead and main panels. I am not familiar with FSUIPC, and have no idea how - for instance a physical switch thrown in the overhead, finds it's way via FSUIPC to the virtual switch in the programme - and therby actuating it! Can anybody describe the physical and electrical connections required - as well as FSUIPC configuring, to complete JUST the above example? I have seen reference to 'offsets' and don't know what it is they are 'off-setting!' and the charts they appear in are a mystery. If there is a simple way of explaining things, I would be most grateful. Referring me to gobldegook will not help. Thanks in anticipation. TONY. Plymouth, UK
