[fuel refill]

Hello Pete

Using the "add fuel" function in the FSUIPC scrolling meu fills the tanks lighning fast!

Is there a way to slow it down to an more or less realistic "real" time for a refill as I would like to simulate the tanks filling on the ground while preparing the flight.

Hi Pete

Just to let you know, officially at least, that a new site and forum has been created.

http://www.cockpitbuilders.com

We have a rapidly growing membership of well seasonned builders, mostly interested in discussing full scale cockpit matters

We would be delighted to have you as a member.

[Flaps Gate and calbrating.]

Thanks Pete. I am building a "generic" throttle 777 style, I find the 737 TQ antiquated, so I have a good leeway.

I'll play safe and make a temporary gate out of MDF, just in case.

Have a great day

Jack

[Flaps Gate and calbrating.]

Hi Pete.

Just a confirmation:

I am building my throttle quad.

Can I make my aluminum flaps gate with notches and calibrate my axis later so that each flaps setting corresponds to a notch (which seems to be the way to go)

Or is it better to calibrate first and make the physical notches after.

[Engine sync]

Wonderful.

Never saw it...(old age)

Thx Pete

[Engine sync]

I suppose that the engine sync in PM works only with autothrottle.

Is there a way with FSUIPC to have a "Synchronization Button" which would be very handy during power approaches flown manual ?

Jack

[Thanks Pete]

Side note following a questionable thread on another forum.

Your doc is superb Pete. Thanks for the tremendous help.

Takes time to digest on some issues but everything is there.

Thanks again

WILCO....THANKS PETE

[AdvDisp.zip and ATC]

Hi Pete

Want to put ATC text on a small screen...can do it by undocking to a second monitor off the server but it has to be repositionned on each session. Grrrr

Can AdvDisp be used for that or is there a better way.

[Exporting GPS to a networked PC]

Thank you Pete, much appreciated...as always

[Exporting GPS to a networked PC]

Is it possible to network a PC displaying the GPS (and ideally the ATC)

This would allow displaying the GPS to a lower Ecam.

I do it now by undocking the GPS to a second monitor from the FS PC, (dual head video card) but it slows down the PC display which looses some fluidity.

[fs9 and ch throttle quadrant]

Changing the sensitivities fixed the missing throttle problem.

However, now my slew mode has gone haywire. Whenever I hit the Y key to enter slew mode the aircraft just spins really fast and is uncontrollable. Also, when I try to use slew through AFCAD2 the same thing happens.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Charles

To avoid this hit the Y key for slew and the centre key of the numpad(5). It works!!

[ATC window]

Hi

Using ATC window undocked to a second monitor (dual head card)

Anyone (including Pete of course) knowing how to change color/font of messages....they come out white with a fairly large typeface.???

[calibration problem]

Pete

You were right for the spoilers they work perfectly in flight.

By the way is there any way to add a buffeting sound with the spoilers on, using Esound?

Jack

[calibration problem]

Hi Pete

Thats fast!!!

All has been calibrated with FSUIPC (got my key this morning)

I'll try to switch the pots,

Spoilers worked OK with FS calibration but go bizark with FSUIPC???

Keep U posted

Jack

[calibration problem]

ps: Using FS2K4/ FSUIPC latest build/ USB adapter for Joystick

[calibration problem]

Hi everybody

Built a 4axix4buttons throttle, 100K linear pots with gears.

Throttle1 Z rotation

Throttle2 Y axix

Flaps X axis

Spoiler Slider

Flaps work perfect

spoiler no progressivity and once up stay up???

Throttles, cant get more than +8000 on the calibration window and throttle one does not move on the same curve than 2...ie: From about 50% N1 up, engine 2 revs up much faster than 1 even if both levers are at the same level

Must do something wrong?

Please help :(

[Throttles/flaps/spoiler]

Very good news

I just use one type: 737NG full cockpit so I'll make my notches accordingly.

Thanks again for a super soft and prompt follow up

Jack

[Throttles/flaps/spoiler]

Hi Pete

As a decently priced Throttle quadrant is still "virtual"..I build mine..(737 &FS9)

I use two axis for each throttle with reverse

Question:

Instead of using complicated detents with switches for flaps and spoiler can I use two more axis for the latter.

I should get progressive spoilers and be able to calibrate flaps?

It would save me a lot of building time. Feasible?

Have a good day
