  1. John... Disregard my post.  Settings for these switches were associated within MSFS control options creating a conflict.  Works perfectly after removing MSFS assignments.  Couldn't figure out how to delete my original post.

    BTW..I am convinced to register.  Every simmers must have!  THX!

    Playing around with assigning 2 switch actions in cockpit to 1 toggle movement on Bravo Quadrant.  In simple terms can I have a toggle movement on the Bravo actuate 2 in the cockpit?  From reading the Advanced manual, I think yes.  So far no joy.  Just for the sake of understanding the logic I am trying to turn Nav and Logo lights on/off using one toggle switch on the Bravo. Button 133 to Off and 134 to On. The UI dropdown is greyed out as expected, photo attached.  Can't get it to work??  My license is temporary, could that be it?

  2. Top end computer so this is not the issue.  I have no problems with PMDG or LevelD planes.

    CH Yoke (Brand New)

    Flying on VATSIM

    Using SB3 for Pilot Client

     

    Button 1 on my yoke is set for PTT in FSUIPC (paid version).  Configured fine when checking SB3 after logging on VATSIM.  Voice coms work fine on the ground.  It is after I have engaged the AP that something weird happens when I depress PTT.  The aural that you hear when the A/P is disengaged sounds and the green A/P in the PFD turns to a white TCR?  I can still communicate with VATSIM controllers but I have to hear the aural warning and it actually is disengaging the A/P only while it is depressed.  I had the same problem with my old CH Yoke and could never figure out what is happening.  I ended up programing a different PTT key.  I also eliminated all keyboard selections in FSX on the controller page that had any A/P references with no luck.

     

    Does anyone have any ideas?  It has got to be an issue with this specific plane and CH Yoke.  Not sure what else to try.

     

    Thanks in Advance Dave.

    You are welcome to come over for yolks anytime. :razz: Better yet, a pint or two! I took it apart. Blew air throughout. Still not getting clean data inputs when calibrating. Have used several aircraft with same results. I disabled the yoke and reverted to keypad for control inputs and everything was very smooth when alerons or elevator were deflected. I am going to assume this yoke has died.

    Curious. With your simming experience do you have an opinion of CH vs Saitek?

    Thanks for your all your help. Your dedication to the flight sim community is commendable!

  4. Pete...I am trying. Disconnected the yolk, re-booted, and re-calibrated. Still no luck. Super sensitive yolk even though the ranges in FSUIPC look good. I did just notice something when calibrating the elevator. As I pushed/pulled elevator, the values under reset sometimes do not move at all, are slow to show values changing, or does not register movement at all. This is also happening with aleron movement at times. Other times it just jumps from from a low value to a high value. And sometimes it seems to be scrolling through input values without any problem. Could this be as simple as a yolk gone bad after 8 years? INI attached.....

  5. Pete, thanks for your patience. The problem is probably right in front of me. I have not assigned axes within FSX, at least i think I did not...how would I determine if I did? I did set, per you manual, sensitivity full right and null zone full left. My INI file below.

  6. I am having trouble understanding the manual, specifically pages 47-49, calibration of flap detentes. I have read, and re-read manual, viewed several other posts here, without success. I can only call flaps 5, 20, and 30 using the toggle on my yolk. I have a registered version of FSUIPC4 and have used the mouse macrosand various other functions and love your product. I am very limited in my computer skills and seem to be suffering from some sort of mental block.....

    FSX, CH Yolk, LevelD 767...I chose specific aircraft and FSUIPC is indicating 7 detentes with an increment of 5460.

    First question...what do you mean by "move the lever"? With no flaps, I set the left set button for #0, then call flaps 30 and set using far right set button for #2.

    "1. Set the flaps lever to a position a bit inside the Flaps Up position/notch (i.e. towards your Flap #1)," ...Here is where I am lost...what lever, and how do I move just inside Flaps 1?
