[Assign a Yoke button to activate Autopilot ( PMDG-737 )]

My system : FSX DELUXE
            FSUIPC4 Version 4.8
            O/S : WINDOWS 10
            York and rudder: from Saitek

I assigned the keyboard sign : Z to activate the Autopilot.This works.

My next step is to assign a Yoke button to activate the Autopilot.
All my trials failed which means I did something wrong.
See attached screen shot.

Can you explain how to do it as it seems a complicated process.

Thank you

Dear Sir:

 I use FSUIPC version 4.971,FSX and Saitek Rudder panels PZ44 and PZ35 and my goal is to make
 the foot brakes work.
 As my English it not to good,I have troubles to understand everything in the mnanual and
 therefore I appreciate your help.

 Here is what I did :
 - Go to Axis assignment
 In MODE press the left foot brake pedal which lead to Joy#1 Axis#Y
 I select the option send to FS as normal axis
 Below that there are 4 options and I wonder which one to select
 and what to do next.

 Your help is appreciated

Hi,

back to the manual, page 45 to 47 (included) describes step by step the calibration process and also takes note of the Rev function.

(Modules folder (FS) there is the folder FSUIPC Documents and you will find there the FSUIPC4 User Guide.pdf file)

Thomas

Thanks,appreciated

Brakes work in relation to applied pressure.

It sounds like you have the axis in reverse working, means you need to reverse the axes function in FSUIPC, by ticking the 'Rev' box for each axis.

Thomas

You are probably right,however I have no clue how to use the "Rev" box for each axis.

Can you provide a short but precise explanation.

Again,what I did was:

Click Axis assignment,then press the left foot pedal which provides an entry Joy# 0 Axis # Y

Then Send direct to FSUIPC,Select Left Brake,click OK

 

Same for the right brake.

Thanks again

WideFS is only needed if you want to connect the pedals to a second computer.

Confirm that you are configuring the correct controller by looking at the values in FSUIPC. I can't provide more details at the moment, but whatever you configure should be visible in FSUIPC. If you still have problems, please post your FSUIPC4.ini and FSUIPC4.log files here.

Finally I figured it out how it works.But I wonder if it is okay because in order to brake ( using the foot pedals ) I just have to

touch and immediately release the pedals.If I keep them pressed no braking occurs.

I was under the impression the foot brakes have to be pressed until the aircraft comes to a stop.

Do you know how it is in the real world ?

The brakes are two axes, so you can assign them to AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET and AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET.

I guess I still need more help.Let me tell you what I did :

I clicked on Axis Assignment which opens two fields,called MOVE and LEVER.

Pressing the left rudder pedal ( footbrake ) leads to Joy#0 and Axis#Y ( in the fields )

Then I click OK and repeat the process with the right foot pedal

Result: no braking action takes place when pressing both pedals.I accelerate to about 30 knots

and then step on the foot brakes.Nothing happens.

Any idea why ?

Is it necessary to have WideFS ?

Thanks again

[How to activate foot brakes uisng FSUIPC]

I have the FSUIPC,version 4.957b and a Saitek Yoke and Rudder pedals. ( model PZ44 and PZ35 )

My aim is to be able to stop the aircraft PMDG-737 by pressing the foot brakes of my rudder pedal.

So far I assigned a key board letter ( y ) which does the stopping.

But how can I program FSUIPC to let me use the foot brakes of the rudder pedal ??

I appreciate your help

Hello,

I used to run FSUIPC4 but after a severe computer crash I lost all data and I wonder if you could

issue a new key

Thank you.Now this is what I call a good support.Since I have you online : what is the latest version of FSUIPC ?

( for FSX )

[How to reinstall FSUIPC4]

I use Flight Simulator FSX with Windows XP.A couple of months ago I purchased the program FSUIPC4 and installed it

successfully.

However I must have done something wrong with the set up which now causes problems.The modes in FSX change

without any keyboard or mouse input.Ex: my B-747-400 flies on autopilot and all of a sudden the mode changes.

Therefore I intend to delete and remove the program and then install it from scratch.

Can you tell me how this is done ?

Or is there a way to put the program to it's original set up ?

Thank your for your reply
