Hello Pete, thanks for your reply, here is text of the Wideclient log file. I believe you are correct when you mention the possibility of a memory leak. In a couple of occasions I have got a message in FS9 telling me that I have run out of available memory and it takes me out of the program. How can I find out what is causing it ?

I have been using FSUIPC V 3,98a and WideFS 6.78 with my FS2004 running on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I use the WideFS utility to connect to FS Commander V8.6 , to see the rolling map and the AI planes. I never had problems with connection before. Lately I have noticed that after a while of running fine, My plane icon and the Ai planes stop moving on the FS Commander screen, and I see that the Wide FS says "waiting to connect" then when it does I get a connection error #14 message on FSCommeander. Volker told me that it was a WideFS connection issue and not related to his software. I also found a WideServer log file on the FS9/Modules folder which shows some disconnections , I am adding the text at the end of this message. I appreciate if somebody can help me sort this out.

Thanks for your reply Pete, let me try to clarify the problem I am having. Let me first explain how I assign and calibrate the joystick commands (CH Flight Yoke, CH Pro Pedals, and CH Throttle Quadrant) to be used with my PMDG 737. I start by disabling joysticks in FS9 For axis assignments I used the "aircraft specific" option whithin FSUIPC. 1. Axis Assignments Flight Yoke : Joy# 2- x axis = Aileron y axis = Elevators Pro Pedals: Joy#1 - z axis = Rudder x axis = Left Brake y axis = Right Brake CH Throttle Quadrant: Joy#0 - x axis = throttle 1, y axis = throttle2, R axis Spoilers 2.Joystick Calibration Page 1 of 11 Main Flight Controls Here I calibrate Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder. Page 2 of 11 Prop Mixture and Brakes Here I calibrate Left and Right Brakes Page 3 of 11 Separate throttles per engine. Here I calibrate separately engines 1 and 2 I have working thrust reversers when pulled back of the detent. Only issue with the PMDG 737 calibration is that, before every flight I have to calibrate the elevator. It seems to lose the calibration. everything else works fine. Picture 1 shows the CH throttle and how I use it with both PMDG 737 and PMDG 747. The problem arises when I try to do the same for the PMDG 747. All the control surfaces worked perfect with the exception of the throttles. Here is how I setup the 747: I assigned the axis in the same way I have done with the PMDG 737, only difference is that I have to extra axis to assign, axis Z and axis V for the 3 rd and 4th engines respectively. picture 2 shows the engine calibration page, Notice that engines 1,3, and 4 have the word "Direct in parenthesis" engine 2 does not. After the calibration all engines in detent (see picture 3). Now I move all four engine levers to full and only engines 1,3,and 4 go to full, engine 2 does not move. see pic 4. I have the joysticks disabled on FS9 I have checked the assignment and engine 2 is not assigned to any other axis. If I go back to the assignment page, press the rescan button, and move the second lever it recognizes it correctly as throttle 2. I hope this make the issue that I am having more clear. Thanks again for your help. Juan

I have spent days trying to make my CH throttle quadrant to work properly. I have read John Cooks guide and it really help me, I have been able to configure and calibrate it to use it with PMDG 737 NG, and works really nice even using thrust reversers. I have used aircraft specific settings, as I fly aircraft with different configurations. My nightmares started when I try to configure my PMDG 747 (Both are the FS9 versions). I have not been able to make the four throttles to work correctly. Even after giving up on using reversers, I can not still get it to work. I have set up the option "map to 4 throttles" on page one of the calibration, then I go to page three to calibrate. Once there I get the following options (see attached pic) 1. Calibrate throttle 1 and throttles 2,3 and 4 will copy throttle 1 ,but throttles 1,3, and 4 have the word "direct" in parenthesis,and throttle 2 does not. Also in the attached picture there are two boxes for the in and out of each throttle. Even though the calibration is done at throttle 1, you can still can see the values move when moving the levers, all except throttle 2. Once I calibrate throttle 2 is always at full throttle. I first thought that there is something physcally wrong with throttle 2 of the CH quadrant, but it works perfectly in the PMDG 737 NG. What Is wrong? Thank you Juan Ducaud I have FSUIPC version 3.98A and Windows 7 64bit.
