Hi John, thanks for your reply, The Honeycomb software is for the Bravo Throttle Quadrant and is really recommended for this product; however I prefer FSUIPC for my other controllers for rudders, Yoke , buttons etc. So is it possible to use this as well as FSUIPC at the same time? It will require activating the controllers in P3d V4.5 setup screen under "Controls"

Hi All, up until now I have used FSUIPC to control all my yokes, rudders etc. Previosly I used the CH Throttle Quadrant now i have the Bravo and it seems there is a dedicated programme to download from Honeycomb or Aerosoft? to manage this. Is it possible if this is the case to still allow FSUIPC to control my yoke and rudders but allow the Honeycomb software to control the Throttle unit?

hi |Thomas, thanks again; I understand the left/right and in/out deflections but perhaps you could explain what the top and bottom numbers mean?

Hi Thomas, thanks for your advice; I have attached a new image after applying your method. Does this look right?

Good day I would like to create a profile for single turboprop i.e. Caravan. I think I got the reverse or Beta mode correct once on my CH Yoke by having an idle and reverse zone. I am trying to repeat this but cannot find a way to plot this as there is no Centre option on page one?

Hi Thomas, went to calibrate in Win again, not really sure what they mean by "move the yoke in complete circles" but i rotated the yoke to move in a circle within the square.New image attached. Thanks!

hi Pete I have a CH Yoke about ten years old but no problems thus far. But when trying to calibrate the elevator the min and max are not quite the same? Is this a problem? I find the elevator generally quite twitchy. Image attached.Cheers Charles

Hi Pete, thanks I will work on it, just need a bit of experimenting. Should the FSUIPC5.INI file UseProfiles= be set to Yes or No; currently mine is set to yes.I only have two aircraft profiles.

Hi Pete, have tried to figure this out for myself by reading both docs for installing and advanced before pestering you; I am not sure what the difference is for Aircraft specific profile and a e.g "Jet" profile. I am ok with creating a specific profile e.g for a simple Microlight. But i would like to create one for e.g "Turbo Prop Twin" . If I do this say with a Twin Otter loaded and then want to fly a King air how does one call up that profile in another aircraft? Or have i got it all wrong?Cheers Charles

Hi Pete, I see you are away, hope you enjoy your holiday! Just a question re the setting of a sinle throttle with a reverser or Beta mode e.g Cessna Caravan. If you have a single throttle control and you’d like to have an idle and reverse zone on this, then in the throttle part of page 1 select the “Map to 4 throttles” option. I dont see that option on that screen? See Image. Thanks as always Charles

Thanks Pete, found the key at SimMarket.

Good day Pete, well total meltdown so am now installing LM P3D V 4.2. Any advise on re-activating licence? Regards Charles

Hi Pete, ok some progress, I have been taking note of the numbers changing up and down as I cailibrate. Now have full max and reverse. When moving the CH Quad slighly forard to get the upper idle setting the numbers dont change, ditto for the lower idle setting. So yes its the idle setting I was actually right the first time. The "delete file was in your user guide? Checklist for Assigning Axes via FSUIPC in P3D o CH Control Manager or Saitek SST software not started o Control Panel in Windows: All controllers detected and Working. o Controllers NOT detected: Replug in the controllers and reboot if necessary to ensure that Windows detects the controller – controllers detected o USB controllers plugged directly in to the motherboard or via a dedicated good quality powered USB 2.0 Hub. o Delete (or move) the FSUIPC5.ini file from the Modules folder. o FSUIPC5 is up to date and install the latest version if necessary. o Start

Hi Pete, apologies in first text I meant Reverse, not idle. Idle is not a problem I cant seem to get the levers to go into the reverse (Beta) position. I see with P3D V latest version there is an option for a throttle reverse axis; turned on controllers to see it that would work but does not "see" the lever moving rearwards, only forwards to increase power axis.

Hi Pete perhaps you could shed light re CH throttle Quad. I cannot seem to create the reverse position for this. I would like to create a profile for typical turbo props with reverse thrust. Wnen you say " For controls which have centres or intermediate ‘idle’ positions (aileron, elevator, rudder, spoiler, trim and the separate throttle and propeller pitch controls where centre (idle) is between forward and reverse), position the control in its centre, détente (e.g. “arm” for spoiler) or default position. Pressing the centre “Set” button will enter the value in one or other of," is this the centre of the full arc or at the notch? Just another option I read was to save and then delete the .ini file and then P3D will re build the file? Regards Charles

On the contrary that is exactly what I suspected! So I thought lets do a swap with another device.But suddenly I saw the word connection in your mail; so as a quick test re-checked all connections, moved the TQ to a new location, then after backing up deleted the Upper Filters and Lower Filters Registry Values. SOLVED!!! At last I can now fly instead of fiddle. But all the time spent has helped me learn a lot about the software. Perhaps one day I will dig into the Advanced manual. Thanks again for all the help! Charles

And some more.... FSUIPC5.log

Pete this is what I did now, loaded flight and switched on avionics and then just left it. Then the other switches as became active without toching them. FSUIPC5.log

Hi Pete, thanks for your patience, I had ported some AC over from FSX so sorry my mistake. I tried on Maule, Mooney and Rob 22, just the one button for panel lights and checked repeat off. But still switches on its own. Sorry not quiet sure about the logging, is this a file I can forward to you? I think its this one? FSUIPC5.log

Hi Pete, sorry this is all a bit confusing so I went back to options and removed all button allocations in P3D and recheckced controllers not enabled . Then started with default 172 SP to make a fresh start. On the joystick all works fine but on throttle Quad I tried allocating the fuel cut off switch. It workes but switches on and off. Same with switching between L an R and both tanks, swiches fine but then switches back. So I enabled logging and console, only allocated one button to the 172 on Quad for panel lights, and then checked again, continually switches on and off. Console shows this happening.This was with "toggle Panel lights" Then tried Switch 0 panel lights On, Switch 1 panel lights off. Switched the panel lights on and shortly after they switched off. Allocated same to button on Yoke and works fine! Would a Teanviewer session help? I have now spent about 14 hours doing this over and over (although its a great way to learn!) and would like to move on. Cheers! Charles

Hi Pete, my mistake, using numbers not letters so changed that, also checked all button assignments in P3D deleted. Yoke seems to work fine, bit in Throttle Quadrant button for default King Air Prop synch works with allocated button as well as the one for another buttons other function.Then will switch off on its own. If i switch off the L an R starter switches they revert to on. Switch for FD automatically on when flight launches but when switched off stays off. Deleted the 28=U1,7,C0,0 -{Custom control: <0>}-.

Sorry forgot am using Joy Letters, and unticked the option to enable controllers. It seems if I select e.g a button to display the GPS it does not respond, then later it appears and then switches off. I used for most actions "Toggle FD/autofeather/seatbelts/ no smoking etc . Is that the proper procedure?

Hi Pete, using CH Yoke, Throttle Quadrant and Saitek Rudder pedals. I was also recommended to connect my Saitek panels direct to the motherboard and not via the USB powered hub which I have used with no problems. So thats maybe an issue as I have now changed the USB ports to a different device? FSUIPC5.ini

Hi Pete, although almost new to this fine software,and even though I am managed to make headway with it something has gone funny. In short all was A OK re general profile buttons and switches. .Then P3D V4 cfg file was corrupted after a display setting went wrong. This allowed P3D to load but when pressing "OK" to fly it stopped working. That now sorted by my knowledgeable IT guy. But now the buttons and switches are erratic, sometimes work, then stop. Also some panels e.g. GPS suddenly appear without a switch pressed. Downloaded new latest version 5.112 and this installed fine.Axis assignments and calibration all still all OK. This is a registered version. Any ideas? Uninstall and re-install? Regards Charles

Good day all. As a newcomer to FSUIPC, I am stumped with a really basic thing! How the Bleep do you turn off the controllers in P3D V4? I simply cannot find a tick box for this. Regards Charles
