[Fuel cutoff]

Right, I shall talk to them then.

Thank you very much indeed Peter.

Best regards,

[Fuel cutoff]

OK, Pete, sorry for the late reply.

Here we go then.

My CH TQ leftmost buttons give the following inputs:

leftmost button up: Joy #2, button #0 - select for FS control, control sent when button pressed: 'Mixture 1 rich'

leftmost button down: Joy #2, button #1, as above 'Mixture 1 lean'

second from the left button up: Joy #2, button #2, as above 'Mixture 2 rich'

second from the left button down: joy #2, button #3, as above 'mixture 2 lean'.

Now, this setup works perfectly OK with other aircraft, just not the PMDG 737.

Thanks

Dom

What a rapid response Pete,

Your argumentation does not seem right to me I am afraid as alongside in the same raw of buttons I have my flaps extend/retract assigned to another button.

Therefore, pressing one upwards retracts the flaps, and pressing it downwards extends them.

That suggests we have two seperate inputs per each of the buttons, right?

Please let me know if there is anything else I could check with my setup to make things even clearer.

appreciate your time a lot,

Dom

Thank you for yuor reply Peter,

ad.1 once again, I wanted to assign a button clicks (if you will) on my CH Throttle Quadrant to fuel cutoff switches in PMDG 737NG.

I decided to use first two leftmost available buttons in the front raw of buttons on my CH TQ.

I opened a 'BUTTONS' tab in the FSUIPC clicked the first button upwards and checked the 'select for FS control option' on the right hand side and then using a drop-down menu chose the 'Engine 1 mixture rich'. Then I clicked the same button downwards and following the same path chose 'Engine 1 mixture lean'. I did the same for second button and second engine respectively.

Now, going back to FS I used these new button assignments to bring the fuel to flow and it did nothing.

Hope this makes it more clear.

Thank you very much indeed,

Dom

Hallo Peter,

I searched through your forum and found one post relating to my problem, which is assigning CH TQ buttons to engine fuel cutoff switches in my PMDG737NG.

You advised that fuel cutoff in jets is the same as mixture axis in props.

I therefore used the buttons tab in the FSUIPC and on the right hand side assign my 2 buttons to mixture lean/mixture rich options.

It still does not work.

Am I mistaken that you can do it this way?

Thanks

Dom

[Easy step guide to CH Throttle calibration]

Dear Peter,

Thank you very much for your comments,

it is actually the first time we have an opportunity to talk virtually, we have met once in Birmingham during the Sim Show several years back.

Ok, this is in fact no precedence what I am talking about here, as this has also happened prior to my system reinstall.

Since I have reinstalled my system, FS and controllers along with it, I have thoroughly checked for double assignments and there are none.

Before I attempt to tweak FSUIPC settings I always make sure my assignments and sensitivities are OK.

For me, at least, it's the good news that I got the problems sorted out as I can go back to flying instead of playing with settings.

Thanks and let me tell you: I really admire your dedication to the FS community.

Thanks

Dom

[Easy step guide to CH Throttle calibration]

OK, I sorted it out.

This has nothing to do with the callibration, it is the FSUIPC itself.

The only way I got the reverser to work is to do a 2-step approach.

First I set the throttle axis to '0' on Page 1 of controller setup, click filter, the, and only then I set the axis on page 3.

Here please see the pics of my settings I'm talking about:

Hope this helps anybody with this peculiar problem.

[Easy step guide to CH Throttle calibration]

Same here.

I had to reinstall my system and had to go through the callibration and setup procedure all over again.

Point is I forgot how to do it, so I consulted Bob's manual again.

Devices callibrated, reverse axis range set to 240, with maximum range of 255 and still no reverse range in the sim.

Well, go figure, I wish it was less complicated than that.

Thanks

Dom

[FSUIPC controls setting]

Thanks Pete,

I checked my main FS controls option menu and indeed the prop axis was not assigned to the spoilers, but prop instead. Should have thought of that first - sorry.

What I see now though is that I can set the range of the spoiler axis good, but in the FS it is erratic. With the full shift of the lever the FS spoiler lever just gets to the 'arm' position and then gets stuck there. Further CH lever movements do not 'release' it from the ARM position.

Thank you for your help,

Dom

[FSUIPC controls setting]

Good day,

I have my CH Yoke USB's levers assigned to throttle and reverser (mixture lever).

I was trying to assign prop lever to act as a spoiler control but moving the lever does not change the values in the spoiler control window withing FSUIPC.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

[Taxiway light intensity]

Hi there,

Chris once posted a great tip on Avsim forum showing how to decrease intensity of runway lights with SCALAR command in the FS9.cfg.

How do I do the same with the taxiway lights I find way too bright?

Thanks for your help,

Dom
