Hello Pete, THANK you for your information. FYI, when these pauses occur, the sound remains audible.....will check the drivers - only use MSE that runs in background... Have a blessed day. Tom

Hello Pete, Just an update - on the original thread - PRIOR to FSUIPC assignments of Throttles & Reverse, (referencing only PMDG 737NGX) - I had a slider on the X52 assigned for "reverse thrust" and it worked well. I wanted to use your program for the throttles and use the detent for reverse thrust..........as it is so much for precise. It worked as I stated, but with the AutoThrottle giving grief when I touched the throttle... but there was also another issue .... I could be flying and all of a sudden P3D would just stop as if you had used the "pause sim button"....would last 3 to 8 seconds, and then continue as if nothing happened. This behavior would last the entire flight and happen 1or two times per minute....with another 3 to 8 second pause. I did "not" get any indication in the menu bar that P3D "had stopped responding"....again, just as if I had hit the "p" to pause sim. I also looked at task manager when this happened and memory and cpu resources were in the mid range, so not a cpu or memory lockup. OK - sorry for the discertation...."me thought" that maybe the FSUIPC with throttle assignments was interferring with the auto throttle etc........In summary, I went into FSUIPC and took out the throttle assignments in the calibration. Restarted P3D and the pausing is still happening. I looked at the FSUIPC log file and didn't see anything. Is there a possibility that I could have messed something up. Up until the work with the FSUIPC, I haven't had a lockup or issue for months...no changes or additions in software and all has been well. I printed out a copy of the manual and going through that tonight for starters. I just want some advice concerning FSUIPC and the pauses? a yes or no. Thanks so much for all of your help and patience with some of us. Tom

Hello folks, I've assigned my Saitek X52Pro Throttle for three assignments in FSUIPC - Idle / Max / Reverse and it's working fine. I've noticed, BEFORE I made the assignments, and when flying (PMDG 737NGX) and using AP & AutoThrottle, you could move the throttle lever on the Saitek Yoke and it would not affect Auto Throttle and speed assignment...which "me thinks" is normal since the AP and AutoThrottle have control. With the new assignment in FSUIPC, and flying in mode as above, if I move the Saitek throttle, it moves the throttles in the cockpit, thus changing speed, then the plane will revert back to the Auto throttle speed as assigned......I don't think this is correct? Am I missing a step is FSUIPC? Thanks so much and have a blessed day. Tom
