Thanks for the support, Pete. What I meant about the controls being too sensitive was that with a Boeing for ex, it rolls and pitches too violently with a small amount of yoke input, making it behavior like an acrobatic plane. I will check your suggestions.
As for the fog, I understood from the manual that FSUIPC can generate a fake fog layer:
On FS2004, the upper altitude of restricted visibility can be set by FSUIPC, for global and local weather injected by
external programs. This allows you to limit the thickness of the fog or mist layer so that when you climb out of it you get blue
skies (or fancy clouds) above and around you, but still see the mist below. It’s a really nice feature of FS2004.
Indeed AS has an option to add a cloud layer but it is not that good.

Hi
I have 2 questions regarding registered FSUIPC in FS9
1. How can I make the aircraft control less sensitive? In my understanding of the manual the slope should be responsible for this. However while trying several settings, the controls are still too sensitive.
2. About smooth visibility changes, I can't see the fog below when I climb above the layer. I use Active Sky.
Thanks.

Without knowing what you are actually doing I can't really advise. Just installing and registering FSUIPC does nothing to any controls. You can calibrate in FSUIPC whilst still assigning in FS, and this is the easiest and most usual way. If you assign in FSUIPC there are two different ways of doing so and both then need also calibrating in FSUIPC, and always disabling in FS -- you must never have the same axes or buttons assigned in both.
Whichever of the three ways you assign, when calibrating in FSUIPC you must follow the numbered steps in doing so. You can achieve very accurate results to suit your wishes and the aircraft you fly, but FSUIPC is a tool. The results depend wholly on how you wield it.

Thanks, I'm working on it.

Hello
I have registered :)
I have noticed with FSUIPC that elevators values vary a lot even when yoke is in neutral and that there are some variation with CH throttle even if I had disabled the axis in FS menu.
-
You really should have posted the Autopilot problem in iFly's Forum. There are a number of CH users who have overcome the autopilot issue and there are a number of FAQs/techs there to show you how to get it working right.
Thanks. I did. But nothing works for me.
-
Oh, I see. Well, I can't really help you to a decision, and I certainly can't guarantee that FSUIPC can fix your problem, not until I see the possible reasons. All I can undertake to do is support FSUIPC properly, and help you towards a solution should you want to try.
If you don't see anything else in FSUIPC that would be of use to you, then I would say that the weight of reason is not to buy. But do review the various threads here and definitely visit the User Contributions sub-forum to see what folks are doing with FSUIPC to get a broader perspective first.

Pete
Thanks, Pete.

On the sensitive autopilot subject, now you've bought FSUIPC, try out the calibration settings, and as well as defining an accurate central zone, look at the "slopes" facility. If you can't find a way which stops the A/P kicking out, let me know and we'll do some logging of the axis values to see what is happening and work from there.
Regards
Pete
Oh, I was misunderstood, I haven't bought it yet. That was the point of my thread.

Ah, the replies to ATC or the calls made by the Pilot! I see. I thought it was related to some choice in which voice to use.
Sorry, I don't know any way to change that "on the fly". It might be possible to hack into the FS code to find where it's implemented, but if so it would really be something I'd rather do on FSX than FS9. My FS9 days are well in the past, and all my tools are aimed at dissecting FSX .

Pete
Thanks, anyway!

Thanks for the comprehensive answer!
Phew! Considering that appears to date back to 2006 (!!!) with version 3.71, then, yes, of course! Why resort to places like that. I assume there are lots of websites with old copies of FSUIPC and its documents around. i can't stop that. But the latest is always obtained by simply installing FSUIPC (which costs nothing) and referring to the many documents and examples which are then provided for you in the "FS Modules \ FSUIPC Documents folder.Thanks, LOL I thought it was a bit old. I will check what you suggested.
I'm amazed that your yoke is so jittery that it succeeds in disengaging the autopilot. Seems there's a but in the implementation of the add-on aircraft if it is so sensitive. Autopilots should be able to ignore minor knocks on the yoke -- something easy enough to do accidentally in any case.Maybe the yoke doesn't have a well-defined central position, as the reply you got suggests. FSUIPC certainly allows you to define a central null zone, or simply a less sensitive central zone, or a combination as suits your usage. It is precise, and you can have different settings for each aircraft or aircraft type (via 2profiles"), automatically changing when you load different aircraft.
However, for a basic crude central null zone you can use the slider in FS. Did you try that? (Don't use that AND FSUIPC)
Well there is an entire debate on the iFly licensed forum about this. Indeed their autopilot is far too sensitive. I have tried using ths slider in FS... no help
What does it do when you turn it off, as opposed to on? Sorry, but FS's ATC is not something I know anything about -- I've always used Radar Contact, ever since FS98 days.I don't think there's anything accessible to FSUIPC or any other program which changes those options, but if i understood what you are wanting to achieve maybe I could think of a way.
It turns off and on the voice of the pilot. I use the default ATC and fly offline. Sometimes I wish to talk myself to ATC (obviously no one listens :))and then I don't want to hear the pilot voice (when I am PNF), sometimes I like to hear it (when I am PF). Yes, I know, I'm crazy :))

Thanks for the answer
First, in order to have a better idea of what your program does, I checked this manual:
http://www.flypfc.com/downloads/FSUIPC%20User%20Guide.pdf
Is there a newer version of the manual available?
What "null zone problems" are they?I can't engage autopilot on that bird. I quote from an answer I received in their forum:
That means your Yoke is not in its full centre position.
You need a big enough dead/null zone around the centre of the yoke to eliminate the AP being disconnected due to spikes or small movements around the centre postion.
Yes FSUIPC helps with this as you can see the numbers visualy in the calibration section of FSUIPC, (registered version)
how do you expect them to stop you using it?Well since Flight1 can, I thought it is would be possible to deactivate my serial...
If you felt that way why didn't you research it first, or at least ask here?Maybe my english is bad but I don't understand this. I just asked here...
Er ... what does that do? Isn't it an FS menu item? What are you wanting to accomplish?I wish to be able to turn on and off the pilot voice at any time using a hotkey command, without having to enter the FS menu. I am talking about this particular function:

Hello. I have problems using my CH yoke with the iFly 737. In the forum I was suggested to buy FSUIPC in order to solve the null zone problems.
If FSUIPC will not solve my issue, is there a way to get a refund?
And another question: using FSUIPC, can I enable/ disable via a key assignment the ATC option "Use pilot voice"?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I have my card ready ;)

Cool! This very morning I thought that it would be grea to have a version includin the new terminal:).
Can't wait! I will fly there in March, I hope it will be ready by then (I'm not asking for the release date, I know I'm not allowed :D

Hi Cornel... I supposed you are somehow Romanian, you have a 100% Romanian name...
Thanks for the answer. Can't wait for the fix!

Hi
I have tried EKCH2004, it's great but I had traffic problem (I suppose they are AFCAD related). Me and the AI plane in front of me were requested to hold on the tarmac for traffic. After several minutes of holding, I realized that there was no traffic to wait for so I passed in front of the AI plane in front of me, and then continued taxi as directed by FS9 ATC. A bit later I was asked to hold again, this time I saw the plane in the far. As I was holding the plane came into the taxiway I was holding on… nose-to nose situation.
I wonder if there is a fix for these problems.
Thanks,
Mircea

Ok, thanx John!
I'll try this!

Hi,
I had to reinstall windows.
Now I'm unable to reinstall LIRF.
It displays an error (that occurs at about 90% of the installation).
If I run the installation program again it does not show "uninstall LIRF" but "install LIRF"
The files are available in the Symflyers folder, if I use "add area" I can see the add-on scenery but also the defaut scenery (buildings and runways).
I have the downloaded version of LIRF
Installation for EGCC and LIBD go OK.
Any ideeas how can I fix this?
Thanx.
