  1. Good evening all, Anyone share any light as to why this could be happening ? After my pc crashed and setting up a new pc, I installed everything once again, FS9 with all my addons. Since I use VATSIM to do some flight I installed squawkbox and then registered FSUIPC. Now I get an error message saying " The Squawkbox module was unable to start because FSUIPC could not be initialized. Ensure FSUIPC is properly installed and restart Flight Simulator again" I have tried re-installing but as soon as I register my FSUIPC this error pops up and squawkbox does not work. Appreciate any help on this . Thank you Sotiris
  2. Hi there, Excuse my ignorance, but is this software only for FSX ? I am using FS9 is it possible to use Linda to callibrate and assign functionality to my josticks ???
  3. As usual Pete , quick to answer without helping at all... !!! I dont see what is so baffling in the question I asked . I have programmed all the views quite well and working very well when in SPOT view. When I am in the 2D cockpit I have the problem. I would have thought that this would apply to all the views once the hat switch has been programmed. Obviously not. But Pete dont worry yourself over this, someone in one of the forums that I am part of will help me out with out me feeling as though I have asked the corniest thing in this world !! You just lucky there are so many people who help this forum out and help YOU out with FSUIPC becuase I doubt anyone would still be here with that arrogance you carry with you.
  4. Hi All, I am using the registered version of FS9 , FSUIPC ver no 3.98. Taking advice from other users on the forum, I deleted all the entries from FS concerning joystick and peripheral assignments, so essentially I had to start and re-assign everything. I know have a problem that I do not know how to fix. I am using the 2D panel , and when I press the hat switch to view the F/O seat , the view changes and I can see everthing ok as long as I am holding the switch , when I let go of the switch I still get to see the F/O seat , it does not return to the "Global Instriment On" view. The same will apply if I move the hatswitch up or down, the view will not return to the global view on. Anyone has a suggestion for this ?? Thank you once again Sotiris Soteriou
  5. Just as a matter of interest, Kosta, btw , Kalispera, since you are using the Saitek equipment, can you please tell me what would be the best way to setup the flap configuration taken that I am using the LevelD 767 aircraft where the flap config are 1, 5 , 15, 20, 25, 30 and the saitek throttle quadrant has 0, 25, 50 75 100. Thanks Sotiris
  6. Hi, Its really strange, because when I use the throttles as usual with trying to reverse thrust, then they work fine. As soon as I try to reverse thrust and I drop the Axis into the bottom detent then take it out, the engines accellerate , and I need to press F1 to stop it.
  7. When pushed forward, the throttles work like they should.
  8. Hi all, Have finally got most of my Saitek working the way I wanted to. I have tried to setup rever thrust on the engines by applying key press with repeat when the button is being pressed and to return back to idle when the engine levers are out of the zone. However its not working like i want to , sometimes the engines although on idle position are actually running on about 70% full. Has someone a better way to do this or explain to me what I have done wrong ? Thanks
  9. Hi all, Can someone please tell me whether or not it is possible to "disable" the trottle quadrant when the autopilot is engaged and to enable it when autopilot is taken off , from FSUIPC ??
  10. RE-installed everything and finally got the new version. Seemed like it was cached. Now finally when everything is installed properly there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.
  11. I recently purchased FSUIPC version 3.98 from the http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html site. When I install this and ran it it shows up like version 3.96. What have I done wrong ?
  12. FSUIPC goes dead and even when I move the quadrant that is working fine , it still doesnt pick up anything. When this happens, even the axis that have been programmed dont work. This is overcome by restarting FS9
  13. FSUIPC REGISTERED VERSION FS9 ver 3.96 Windows XP Home I am running FS9 with Saitek Yoke , second quadrant and pedals. While all these controllers have been properly installed, and they can be calibrated and are working fine via Windows Control Panel / Controllers / Properties. Now while I have come to realise that while I am trying to program the controllers via FSUIPC, the second quadrant does not show up when I move the second quadrants axis up down. Not only this but while I press rescan button , FSUIPC seems not to respond. As per the picture, the RESCAN AND CLEAR buttons are greyed out. The only way to get this to respond is to exit flight simulator and restart it. So my problem are 2 : 1) Why doesnt FSUIPC see the second quadrant ? 2) Why does FSUIPC "die" on me as per the attachment Appreciate your time Thank you
  14. Sir, Something that baffles me is the fact that you may seem to think that everyone should be able to decifer your manual as though its as easy as one two three. Not all of us are in this position to be able to understand the way things work. When I purchased your utility , I did what I was suppose to do and yes I did read the manual as per the instructions and NO I am still not able to get anything to work. Like I said in my prevrious posts, I am not one to want to spend my time in the forums and "bug" you or anyone else in here. I get something to work, then FSUIPC jams up on me, then nothing works, then something seems to be doing something else than what I think it should be doing. This is the reason why I am here to get some help, and not to be told GO READ THE MANUAL AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. When I say I need help, believe me I have come to the stage of wanting to throwing everything out the window from my 9th story apartment, this way I can stop feeling as though I am a pain in the ass to the forum.
  15. I have disabled my joystick (SAITEK PRO) in my FS9 and opened up my FSUIPC. I would like to get my yoke working via FSUIPC, can somone please explain to me what it is I need to assign it to. I go to the AXIS Assignment and move my joystick around and I get the range of numbers. Under type of action section what is it that I need to use to get the Elevators to work and the Airlerons to work as well. Thank you
  16. Hi, I am using Windows XP Home , and Fs9 Thank you
  17. Thnks for the reply, Can you please tell me what would possibly make FSUIPC stop working ??? What I am doing applying a setting I think will work , try it out and nothing happens, the yokes seem dead, the quadrants dont respond, and the only way to get them working again is to get out of FS9 and restart the program then everything seems to be working again. Any ideas
  18. Pete, can you please explain to me how I can delete the settings I have tried to do in FSUIPC to start all over. Thank you
  19. Thank you for your reply, one thing though, I am using FS9 and have downloaded and purchased the version which is 3.98. Is there a later version or can i download the FSX version to be used with FS9 ??
  20. Hi to all fellow simmers, I am not one to sit and write in forums the moment I run into problems looking to find the easy way out. I look and read and for me to be here now and writing in the forum I think I have used up all my resources and patience !! I explain : About a year ago I made the mistake of purchasing the SAITEK yokes , 2 x throttle quadrants and pedals , in an effort to upgrade my equipment and get more involved in the game. Big mistake !!!! SAITEK forums have postings that havent been replied and the only thing that someone can derive is that most probably they are either in the process of closing down or been taken over. Now a company seems to have taken over their forums and some movement and replies to peoples problems are to be seen. Anyways, after trying to configure my yokes to work the way I wanted them to, I now find myself after all this time still trying to configure them. My last attempt before throwing all the equipment out the window, was to purchase the FSUIPC module and try going down that route. Well , well , well it all seems Greek to me .... Looking through the topics i realise that there are many people who have upgraded to FSX and many of the topics regard FSX , however, I am still using FS9. In desparation , I am looking for someone to please help me in the calibration of the Saitek joysticks. Appreciate your time. Thank you
