[Save/load flight plan]

Hi Volker,

Really sorry to take up your time. Yes you were correct in your email – I thought I was running 9.2.1 and even re-applied the update – except that I was installing the old files (I did this twice), what an idiot…

So when I did do it correctly the error message was no more… all was as it should be. Many thanks, Mike

[Save/load flight plan]

HI, I'm trying to set paths for Save/load flight plans. I'm using prepar3d and have ticked: FS Commander, Simulator Prepar3d, PMDG. My paths are set as: Name FS Commander - Folder FSC9\Flightplan\FSC, Name Simulator Prepar3d - Folder Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d, Name Prepar3d FlightPlans - Folder Documents\Prepar3d Files. When I save I get the error message: "Flight Simulator flight plan will not be saved, since path is not specified! Specify Flight Simulator path on Path Tab!" Question is, what is the error? Plans are being saved to Name Prepar3d FlightPlans - Folder Documents\Prepar3d Files okay. But what is the correct path for Name Simulator Prepar3d - Folder Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d?

How are you assigning the throttle(s)? Is it one throttle for all or 4 throttle levers? When you say "reverser" are you wanting a separate reverser lever or a revers zone on each thorttle lever?

If you get reverse on in a calibrated idle zone then you have not calibrated the idle zone.

No. It sounds like you have calibrated the idle at -16383 as well as setting that as minimum. Or you have "no reverse zone" set and haven't re-calibrated since setting it.

I need more information. I need to know how you are assigning (to what), where you are calibrating, what calibration options you've selected and what the numbers are.

"Latest" isn't useful information: is your "latest" 4.70 or 4.742, or somewhere in between? Please ALWAYS state version numbers. That's what they are for.

Regards

Pete

Thanks for replying so quickly Pete,

I am following "Configuring FSUIPC with the CH USB Yoke, Rudder Pedals and Throttle Quadrant". version

1.10 by John Cook - But for 4 engine jet.

1. Separate CH Quadrant Levers - 1 per throttle with it's own reverse zone is the aim.

2. I have assigned the 4 middle levers on the CH Throttle Quadrant as engines 1-4.

3. When I go to calibration I get the same numbers (Max 16383 Fully forward / Min -16384 Fully back) for

all levers, and can set a top idle as John Cook advises but when I set the lever into the reverse area

(behind detent) the number is still -16383 as if this area is not being read at all. The detent back to

fully back reads the same -16383.

4. If I set the idle zone by pushing the lever forward from the detent to get a top idle number set and

a bottom idle number set when I go into FSX the reverse is showing as active but forward of idle.

5. FSUIPC Version 4.742

Hope this clarifies some.

Regards,

Mike

[Engine Reverse Thrust]

Hi Peter,

I am trying to set reverse thrust with 4 engines in FSX with CHTQ using fsuipc. I have cleared out the AXIS in FSX and am failing miserably to set up the reverse thrust with fsuipc. I can set the max (16383) and min (-16384) but am not able to set reverser to function in the correct place ( behind idle).

When I set the idle zone and do get the reverse to work it is always on when I have the TQ set at detent (idle position) or forward of this or doesn't work at all.

I have tried to closely follow suggested guides but cannot make this Reverse work.

Question:

When I move the lever to max I get 16383, when I move the lever to fully back I get -16384, when I move the lever forward to detent(idle) the number stays the same - is this correct?

Regards,

Mike

Thanks again Volker,

I tried an uninstalled and reload of the software and it all seems okay now.

Though I did get an message on reinstall (I think I might have had this on the first install also):

=======================================================

The following files did not self-register or unregister:

1. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mfc40.dll

An event was unable to evoke any of the subscribers

To continue, click OK; otherwise, click Cancel.

=======================================================

I clicked OK...

Does this effect anything?

Thanks for replying Volker.

I did click the left button bar but it still made no difference - they were all activated by default on onstall but I did try deactivation whereby they disappeared from the map - it makes no difference activated or deactivated other then on the map.

I am trying to follow the FSC8 tutorial ad have selected departure and destination but when I click on low alt plan I get intersection to intersection not VOR/NDB. Even if I click Navaid or High alt I still get the same. I have tried clicking off int but still get the same. Even if I click off int/vor/ndb I still get the same. Am I missing something here??
