Pete, I have version 3.3, I recalibrated again, removed the pmdg dll but still have the same issue. I did find out one thing though, in the cal. tab in fsuipc, the input shows from -16380 to 16380, ok, in the output window, whenever the number goes below 0, I get full flaps, which in my case is flaps10 setting. Without getting confused, flaps pos. 1,2,5 give full flaps, 10 puts the sim at flaps5 and from there on down it works. Again, only when fsuipc is outputting a positive value? As i said, it worked great for awhile then all of sudden changed?? Very strange, any other pmdg files that could be suspect? I also e-mailed them for ideas. Thanks Pete for your help.

Hi Pete, Not sure what happened but my flap lever has been working great for several flights with my new FS9 sim. Now all planes go to full flaps whenever I move the flap lever? In your cal. tab everything checks out ok? I changed over to the flaps_set axis and still got the same result. According to the fsuipc software, the flaps should be working. I did just install the pmdg 737, any ideas where to look and what for? Thanks, Rob

Hi Pete, I copied the fsuipc.ini file from fs2k2 over to fs9. It saved me alot of work! :) The only 2 problems i'm having is with reverse thrust which i had going thru the mixture axis, and spoilers which went thru the default spoiler axis. FS9 assigns these ok but FSUIPC doesn't see them in the new FS9 sim like it did in FS2K2. (the calibration tab). ANy ideas? what if any, logs/info do you need? The flaps work fine thru the pan_tilt_axis in FS9 like it did in 2K2 but should I try the new Flaps_Set axis? Thanks, Rob Fsuipc v 3.02 Widefs 6.02 FS9 and winxp Home

Great news! Thanks Pete! Rob

Hello, I have a real 737 cockpit with several (8) joystick axis inputs used to operate all the controls and other assorted functions all done thru FSUIPC. When I upgrade to fs2004 and the new fsuipc will I need to re-do all these settings for the joysticks or can I transfer some of it over to the new set-up? It was quite the challenge to get the original throttle quad all hooked up and functioning but with fsuipc it was made alot easier. Kinda dread having to do it all over if you know what I mean? Thanks, Rob

Yes it did, sorry i didn't reply back earlier. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the pop-up display that says "Tailhook extending" Or extracting. Rob

Guys, the file was new! It was created in june and it was missing the user input varibles just as Pete himself said would occur. The basics were there and that was it. No word from roger wilco yet. It was the only thing that i've changed in quite sometime now so I know it came from them, why I don't know? I'm not mad at pete at all, i was just voicing a loud concern that there is a problem. Think about it for a second, If several of your add-ons need FSUIPC then any time you upgrade or buy one is it going to replace your files without asking?? Thank god it didn't touch the ini file, I just copied the older dll file from old sim computer and now all my functions are back as well as assignments. :) Just a headsup for future reference. Rob

:evil: I just downloaded the latest rogerwilco and guess what?!! It replace dmy FSUIPC with the new payware version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost hours of programming buttons and axis's in my real 737cockpit!!! I am so pissed right now I could @#$%@^%!!!!!!! I don't have a problem paying but anytime I upgrade or download a new program and it installs a new FSUIPC is plain BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but I need to vent because now knothing works in my cockpit. :!: Rob

Thanks Mike but i don't have any keyboards in my cockpit. :) I have it assigned to a joystick button thru fsuipc. Rob

Thanks Pete, Will try the toggle method first, if unsuccessful i'll advise you later this summer. Thanks for your time and software! Regards, Rob

Hi all, The FFX 737 series has retractable outboard landing lights by using the tailhook command in FS2002. I need to wire up my real landing light switches and would like to incorporate this. Any info on known offset or ideas would be great. Thanks, Rob

I used separate pots connected to the reverser levers, and switch the pot feeding the throttles via EPIC. Used a steering damper from any model year Volkswagon Bug for pitch and rudders. Used bungie's for roll. James Thanks for the info James. Never thought of the bunggie method. :o

Thanks Pete for your help. You know the old saying, "never hurts to try" it works good enough for now until I figure out FSBUS or some othe interface. Thanks again, Rob

I'm trying to set-up ESOUND and am having problems getting it to work. Could someone take a look at my cfg file and make sure it looks correct for 1 simple function? Thanks Rob

Hmm. I don't know. That does sound wrong. Which aircraft is it? I'd like to reproduce it here if I can. Can you list the flap positions for me so I can set it up the same here, please? And also, if you can, the range of inputs for each output that you are getting. I'll certainly check to make sure there's not a bug in FSUIPC. It seems unlikely as the code is the same for each movement, it is only a simply calculation. Pete Pete, Here are the figures I show, note, after recalibrating in WINXP, now flaps 25 is inop. Default 737, FSUIPC "FLAPS" tab, min= -16193 max=16192 IN out Flaps 0 -16193 0 Flaps 1 -13135 2047 Flaps 2 -11329 4094 Flaps 5 -3800 6141 Flaps 10 -321 8188 Flaps 15 2029 10235 Flaps 25 4764 10235 Flaps 30 8956 12282 Flaps 40 16031 16376 Hope this info helps. It's so close to working correctly. Thanks for your help. Rob

Well i tried a few more adj. I can get every position but Flaps 15? I see at least a number change of 3K when going from flaps 10 to 15 but FSUIPC doesn't chande the output. Every other position it adds or subtracts 2047 as it should. I'm prpbably missing something here? :) Maybe some rest would help? Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the ideas, i'll try it again. I have tried 2 different pots with a totally different amount of range but I guess the only true fix is a 9 position rotary switch and assign a value that way. The pot set-up is very close to working, i think a set of gears instead of a direct connection via a cable would work better? We'll see. thanks again, Rob
