Pete. It is working now, I started out asking a simple question; If the PFC Quadrant Throttle needed to be connected to the COM 1 port. I am satisfied that it is working. I really thank you for making available your FSUIPC to us. I consider this a resolved issue now. Thank You, I really mean it. Wayne

Thanks for responding Pete. I realize the hardware is not what this is about. I Have the older PFC hardware, A yoke and rudder pedals at 9 years +. They do not make them anymore and no support for them either. Those work fine as they are plug-n-use devices. I have your latest and greatest downloads in place. I am always up to date on them. The reports in FSUIPC all recognize it as being a joystick, but the PFC control panel and the set up for PFC thru the Flight Sim "add on" menu will not recognize it. My question was did I need to hook it up to a COM port to use it and not use the USB connection it has. While typing this I made a test for my FS computer and found; I am using only P3Dv4 addons; Scenery for P3Dv4. Aircraft is PDG 747 and default. I rolled back the FSUIPC5 to 5.101g and it works on my system as designed. Any later version and no joy. The PFC quad, pedals and yoke all work now Thanks Pete for your work again. I will keep trying the updates and it will get better. Thank You, Wayne L Pierce

Greetings, Pete Thanks first, for your work. Now. I have PFC flight equipment, yoke, rudders and throttle. The PFC throttle quad works with a USB connection in P3v3 using FSUIPC4. Reading The manuals and trying to figure out what is not happening, I am stumped trying to use it P3Dv4 using FSUIPC5.10, latest edition. Using the PFC program via the FSUIPC add on in the Flight sim, I see the Com1 port on my computer,but the PFC throttle is not located. I did not have a physical COM port out of my computer, which now I bought a PCI-e card which has COM 3,4. The COM 3 port is recognized by FSUIPC5. By using an adapter from the USB to the COM3 port, the PFC throttle is still not recognized by my computer nor FSUIPC5. Am I reading correctly that to hook up to a COM port is the way to use the throttle? I have looked on line to find a way to emulate the USB to a COM port, I have no idea what they are talking about. If you have any ideas I will welcome them. Thank You. Wayne L Pierce
