  1. Thanks for all your help i have got it working for the up and down positions but when i start moving the lever from the up position to the down it goes down ,if only it was not so sensitive on the down mode it would work, meaning that to let me reach the off position before the gear goes down ,i know it is cosmetic i think! on pmdg 744 but it would be more realistic.i cant do macros as it does not work for axis . regards steve
  2. Hi does anyone know how i can get the gear lever working on the b744 pmdg fs9 version ,with a off position on a joystick lever made from a Saitek throttle assy i can get the lever to go up and down but as soon as i go from the up position to the down position it goes past the off to the down position, all i want to do is when i sectect up the lever goes up,and when i move the lever to the off position the lever on the screen stops at the off position then from the off position to the down .the lever that i have made is for a cockpit i am making and has three detents i have tried the detent method but this only works flaps or anything else, but not the gear,i have tried to set the down position from after the off position to the down ,but it goes straight past the off to the down,all i want it tree detents for the gear .hope someone can help as i am stuck. regards steve
  3. Hi Pete thanks for your explaination i did not realise you can keep the macro screen on,and do all your macros, the main problem was i was looking at old 3.98 instructions i thought it was the same as 3.99 .i am still getting that problem were after a while fs9 slows down then stops when making macro,s , i tried adding the line you said, i think it helps a bit as i can at least do a few macros now b4 it crashes,thanks once again. regards Steve
  4. Hi Pete thanks for your reply ,the screen i mean is the button and switches screen on fsuipc i have looked for old drivers cant find any that are not used .could you be more detailed in were to put this line pollepicbuttons=no.i have just tried it again ,as i am trying to get the fuel switches to work on the pmdg 747-400.it will let me go into the fsuipc screen click on button and switches tab,it will allow me to go into the macro screen ,and click ok, after i have named the macro. when i click on the button and switches tab again it may take this time, about 2 secs to show the screen,i then end macro then i go into button and switches again to make onther macro, it may let me make onther macro but every thing takes more time to load screens.then after this ,every thing starts slowing down eg if i come out off the fsuipc and go back this time it may take 4or 5 secs to show ,now if i click on button and switches the whole program locks up ,and if i move the mouse, as the mouse still moves to the cancel button nothing happens, same as trying to come out off flight sim the only way is to ctrl alt del. regards steve
  5. Hi Pete i am doing it another way now without detents but changing the hardware detents ,anyway thats that problem solved i hope.i have another one i am afraid .When i go into button and switches screen eg to make mouse macros it seems to work for maybe 2 or 3 switches then it gets slower to load the button and switches screen, and in the end it freezes altogether if i leave the screen on it will come back but if i try again it will freeze for good i dont get this problem when i am using axis mode or keys ,the only way to get out of this is to ctrl+alt+del,if i switch of the computer ,then try again it is ok untill i go into the button and switches screen again ,could this be a bug in the program ?i have tried other aircraft but same effect,hoping you can help in this. regards Steve
  6. Hi Pete sorry to keep bothering you .could the problem be that the up detent on my lever has no more movement? eg the lever is as far as it will go when the lever is in the up detent and the same for the down ,i have tried your way but i cant get any lower than the up position and also the down position on my lever , .i have sent the inl file with this reply hoping this may help , if i calibrate without detents i get all the positions ,but errors as follows > up is ok detent 1 ok .detent 2 ok dentent 3 just after dentent 3 .dentent 4 is just b4 the 4 detent and detent 5 is up should be flap 25 [flap1] [flap5] [flap10] [flap20] [flap25] thanks for your help regards Steve ps i cant send the ins file it wont let me, so here is a copy as follows . Flaps=-16000,16380/16 FlapStarts=-16384,-14464,-7296,130,4811,16253,16253

  8. thanks for your reply .i am carefull with the calibration with the flap detents. this is what i do i put the lever on position just b4 up detent, making sure the spin tab is on 1, i then press the left hand button,then i move the lever to the position just b4 flap fully down,i then click the far right button,ithen move the lever just b4 the first detent and press the centre button making sure the spin tab is still on 1 i then move the lever down just after the first detent and press the centre button again ,i then move the spin tab to 2 and do the same for the next 3 positions moving the spin tab acordinly ,if i get through to the last position i get the same results as my last email sometimes i get as far as position 3 then i get a out off range warning ,and cant seem to clear it apart from doing it all again.i have tried for a whole day without success.should i be in axis flap mode ? only this is what it says in the manual , thanks for your reply
  9. HiPete i am trying to set the detents for flaps on the 747-400 pmdg fs9 i have fsuipc 3.99 i have windows 7 and 32 bit ,i have done what it says in the manual to do this it recognises the aircraft and says 7 detents ,but when i go to test it after ,the settings are as follows , on the first detent ,from up should be position 1 still reads up ,2nd detent is flap 5 which reads flap 1 should be flap 5 .3rd denent should be flap 10 still on flap5 .4th detent should be flap 20 but reads flap 10 ,5th detent should be flap 25 ,but reads flap 20 .6th detent should be full flap ,but reads still flap 20 .i have tried a full day trying different gaps between the detents .i have also tried just the method not using detents but the denents i have for the flap lever dont line up the lever is made from a saitek tq ,is there anyway i can increase the positions eg on the spin tab for the detents it seems it need 2 more.also sometimes i get a out off range tone when settting ,if i come out of fsipc then go back all is ok there must be something i am doing wrong ?please can you help,thank you. regards Steve
  10. Hi Pete thanks for your reply ,by the way i do have a registered version , i did install a new SAITEC CONTROL COLUMN,and throttle ,a few days before maybe that done it . regardsSteve
  11. Hi Peter, this is version 3.99 and i saw this in the pc pilot july 2010 page 88.this is what i mean i dont under stand what they mean about cancel the dialogue.was this article writtten with the help from you ?If not i will write to pc pilot.,but uninstalling fsuipc did cure the problem. regards Steve
  12. Hi every one i thought i would let every one know of a problem i had ,i have the the full version of fs9 f s u i p c and after a long time of perfect flying ,one day i was using fs9 ,and my frame rates droped from 35 to 3 to 5 i have found out why fs9 frame rates droped .I was reading by chance a back number of pc pilot july 2010 ,and came across a articale on f.s.u.i.p.c and read that some time if you dont cancel the dialog this is what happens ,so i unistalled it and reinstalled and every thing now ok .but could some one explain what does this mean canceling the dialog ,because after a while things got so bad that i could not even load fs9 so that is why i uninstalled it, you have to delete the f s u i p c dll files as well in fs9 module folder as per instruction how to uninstall regards Steve
  13. Hi Pete yes you were right i did have a joystick driver problem on the saitek rudder ,all seems to be ok now thanks regards steve
  14. Hi Pete sorry to trouble you again ,i have resolved the last problem i had, now working ok but when i put the pmdg 747-400 on the frame rate drops by half i have set up 15 joystick axis assignments is this too many ?is there a limit? as i would like to set up more if i put a 747-400 pmdg aircraft without set up for fsuipc ,just the default fs9 joysticks it works ok frame rates around 30 ,i am running w7 32 bit nvidea gtx460 gt .thanks for your help. regards steve
  15. Could it have been that i had the free version on there in the first place .i told you in my last post that i have got fs9 working ok with out fsuipc ,when i refered to sensitivity i ment joystick calabration ,i think the problem may be that i installed on top of the free one .it did not say in the install instructions what to do if you have the un registered version .anyway i think now i have the 3.98a version, things seem to be working i think! the tutorial is from www.simsamural.net for your infomation regards steve
  16. Hi Pete sorry to keep asking for advice ,but i would really like to get this working properly so i can build my cockpit. I have now installed the latest patch 3.98.as you suggested. I bought this from sim market last week so they are selling the old version, it now recognises the joystick ,and when i do the sensitivity setting, all seems to be ok when i try the control it is very eratic or dont work at all ,some controls seem to work ok ,Should i disconect the joysicks in turn and set up each joystick one by one?eg i have a saitec av8r-01 joystick ,a ch yoke, ch tq, ch peddles , in regards to where i saw that to disconect from fs9 that is on page 3 of the fsuipc quick start tutorial it says it is advisable ,when i go back to using fs9 option joysticks works ok with fsuipc switched off . regards steve
  17. Hi Pete Thank you for your reply the version is 3.96 and was bought 2 days ago .in the instructions it says to disable the joystick funcion within fs9 ,then to go into fsuipc click on axis assignments and move any joystick lever but nothing happens it wont recognise any joy stick i have tried holding down the rescan but still nothing ,i have tried without fsuipc just normal fs9 fuction and the joysticks are working ,it seems when i put the fsuipc on it wont see any joysticks it looks a great program if only i can get it to work ,i am runing windows7, 32 bit .i have noticed when i load up fs9 then fsuipc ,i have just tried it again and i think it is working now .you have to keep clicking the rescan button ,thanks for your help i will let you know if all is ok regards steve
