[FLAP X axis won't work with PMDG 747]

OK, I just used the Saitek profile editor. And it seemed to work really well. Really simple.

[FLAP X axis won't work with PMDG 747]

In the FS9 assignments I have set the Flaps up on the X axis, sensitivity up full and null to 0. This makes the flaps work great with all aircraft including the PMDG 737, but not the PMDG 747. It's a shame this one aircraft won't recognize the FS commands? Is there a quick fix for this?

The 747 is just doesn't want to comply. Been struggling for weeks.

I think you can assign the FSUIPC with flap increments. Are there any tutorial on this I can have a look at, I see the options in FSUIPC, but It looks very involved.

thanks in advance.

Also similar problem to mine raised here.

You'll find a huge range of nVidia drivers on http://www.guru3d.com.

Thank you very much. I will look into this.

That's most definitely a video driver problem

Ok I guess it's time to look at the Nvidea forums. Thanks for your advice.

You have instability in FS9? Wow, that's not been heard of for many years. The stability of FS9 is why many stick to it and don't move on to FSX.

In full screen mode FSUIPC freezes. When in windowed mode, I can edit it. The simulation in itself seems to be fine.

A GTX480 is a bit wasted on FS9, isn't it?

I will get FSX, I have stuck with FS9 because it has run fine in the past. I have only had this PC for a couple of weeks. So I it might take a bit of tweaking.

I have had 3 systems in the past, and it has ran with no trouble. Since buying a saitek, throttle and yoke, the need for FSUIPC has become more of an interest. I can get the PTT to work with squawk box, throught the fsuipc. Gears up and down, on one of the Saitek levers. The TOGA switch after a lot of struggling now seems to work, using the mouse macro mentioned before.

I am waiting for the new PMDG 737X to come out. I wouldn't really know which aircraft to fly with FSX, at the moment. The scenery looks amazing, in FSX.

Just to add, I have FSUIPC 3.98a installed. I am only using FS9. I don't have fsx yet.

When I say high frames I set mine to 28, wheres before I only kept it on 20. Even with a better system I am tight with the frames.

There are a lot of improvements you can make to FSX graphics and performance, especially with an i7 system and a GTX285 or 480 video card. Take a look at some of the threads on ASVSIM's FSX forum, especially those by Jesus Bojote. There's a pinned essay by him near or at the top which is very educational.

ok cool, that sounds like a plan.

I use Windows 7 64-bit on three separate systems with FSX and many add-ons, and I would say it is the most stable setup I've ever had for FS. If your experience is the opposite I can only think there's some problems with your installation, drivers or hardware.

It's all a brand new system, I would expect some teething problems.

I have a Nvidea Gforces GTX 480. I have updated the drives. I installed the FSUIPC as admin, with the best compatibility set. Or at least do I think I have.

So I don't know at this stage. I've not had this much trouble before. On the old xp system, everything just worked. It might be the PMDG add-ons haven't installed very well.

It fly's well and doesn't crash once your doing a flight. Apart from a black mouse issue. And the frames are great.

Ok the toga mouse macro it just seemed to work after restarting.

I tried assignment on the gear as well. But can only get it working one way.

I must admit, it is a very unstable process. The whole FS gets pretty ugly. Freezing locking up etc.

I am on windows 7. Maybe there is a issue or something with this?

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

I did this but I don't think it did anything. However I can edit FSUIPC if I am in window mode. It just doesn't like full screen mode for some reason.

Anyway I did a mouse macro an saved it, but I am not quite sure where you are meant to reload it?

thanks

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

Interesting you have win7 as well.

Ok will disable visual theme as well.

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

That sounds like a video card issue. Try updating you card drivers.

I have refreshed the Nvideoa drivers, but it is still freezing. The problem only started when the FSUIPC was registered.

Is there a way of resetting it?

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

I would like to have another look.

Is there any reason why the screen goes black when launching FSUIPC? This happens quite often. I can only force quit it, using the task manager.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't even cancel it, and it is freezing FS9 :(

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :?:

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

Try using the mouse macro function. That should work. I use it to program a number of things on the PMDG 737.

Peter

I did try and use this. But it looked a bit precarious.

Is there a easy way of reviewing all of your FSUIPC actions?

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

I think I know what the problem is.

The problem is that the PMDG commands are set wrong CTL>SHT>M. But every time I edit it to CTL>SHT G and close it doesn't change, very weird, keeps popping back to what it was.

[FSUIPC TOGA assigmnets on PMDG Saitek throttle]

Hi I am generally new to FSUIPC.

There is a switch on my Saitek throttle I would like to assign a PMDG boeing 737 command to. Specifically the 'Take off and go around'

switchor TOGA for short.

I have tried many things without success. Firstly I check the FS9 commands Crt>SHT>G is set up. I have also looked at the PMDGs own key assignment which is also Crt>SHT>G. I have tried this with both 'AC specific' option clicked and not clicked. This didn't work.

Also I the also the select for FS control. But this is also not working?

Also the Crt>SHT>G is not working when in Fs9. Even though it looks like it is assigned. And the 'magic screw' on the corner of the MCP does activate the TOGA, so the I know it is working within the FS9 environment.

Am I doing something wrong here. :(

I seem to be able to get some commands to work, but struggle with other commands. Seems very difficult getting the buttons to work in a consistent manner.
