Pete, Thanks. I thought I would follow up on this. There is a toggle switch under (as in remove the quadrants panel to access it) the Throttle Quadrants panel on the Cirrus II (this models anyway probably built in early 2000's). The toggle switch was set to the left with no markings. I flipped it to the right, labeled PFC, and everything began working like a champ. I make the assumption that the toggle to the left is to work with Elite, as that is the software that shipped with the unit. Thanks for the great plugins.

I have an old Cirrus II console and avionics stack I am trying to get to work with FSX. I need to find out if the hardware is any good or not before I start getting financially devoted to making this work. Do I have to purchase FSUIPC to get the Cirrus II and the PFC driver working on FSX? I have installed all the drivers correctly, I get the connection screen, the avionics power up and work OK, but none of the controls, rudders, or other hardware tests or functions; I am greeted with cyclical incorrect strings in the serial output on the test screen. Before I dig in trying to figure out if there's a problem with the hardware, like dirty pots, can you enlighten me on the above? Thanks.
