  1. Mr. Dowson - First of all thank you for this great program. FSUIPC 3.7 is greatly enhancing my flight sim experience. By using FSUIPC to calibrate and adjust my joystick inputs I've removed the right bank tendancy of my CH USB Yoke, made my CH rudder and toes brakes respond more realistically and accurately set ranges for throttle, prop and mixture with my CH Throttle quadrant. I can even choose to use the levers mounted on the CH USB Yoke for my Cessna 206, while automatically using the throttle quadrant for my B200 and Cheyenne I. If I wanted to incorporate the Saitek X45 joystick / throttle and new Saitek Pedals for helicopter operations, would I mess up my current configurations? Will FSUIPC identify different physical joysticks or doesn't that matter? Also, what is the best way to apply the changes I've setup in my Cheyenne I to the other variations (Cheyenne IA, II, IIXL). The Aerosoft package contains four Cheyenne aircraft with different paints, to get them all configured the same would be alot of reworking. Or can I just copy and paste? Thanks for your help - and this great program! John
  2. Hi Guys I had a very similar problem to this when configuring the throttle quadrant for twin-engine prop (2 thr / 2 prop / 2 mix). Lever 5 (Left mix) would not show anything in FSUIPC. No reading at all, and the other levers worked fine! I was using direct not map mode in CH Manager My solution was: 1) Recheck the sensitivity / null settings for this lever in FS (my settings changed on me). I fixed sensitivity and I could then see activity in FSUIPC. But it was backwards. 2) I also had to reverse the axis within FS to see the correct values happening in FSUIPC This did it for me - took about a week to figure out. Hope this helps.
  3. Hello Bob Thanks for replying. I was about to comment on my latest findings and FSUIPC settings for that lever. However, per your advice, I went back and checked and lever 5 (mix 1) sensitivities were all the way to the left (not the way I had set it). Resetting it I was then able to see some improvement however it was reversed, so I set invert from within CHCtrlMgr and then setup the values on joysticks page 4, finally getting the right settings appearing for min, idle and max. Things appear to be working. Thanks so much for that suggestion! Here is another question: When moving the levers for throttles and props the from detent forward toward max there is a fair amount of physical lever movement, maybe 10 - 15 degrees before any associated movement is seen on the panel's throttle graphic. Q: Is this normal? What settings should I tweak to see a more immediate response? THANKS again for your help and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
  4. Pete Happy New Year! Having some trouble with programming CH Throttle Quadrant and FSUIPC. I've read multiple posts and tried the suggestions, read the Church article, read FSUIPC manual, read CH's (useless) manual - still have trouble. After six days of configuring this thing I have had partial sucess - primarily due to your fine program - so Thanks for that. I've purchased the latest FSUIPC (3.44) and am having mixed results. I wasn't getting anywhere without FSUIPC - apparently my throttles don't work without it. In FS2004 using the KingAir 350's throttle view I can see my Throttles now move accurately and produce the wanted BETA effect, The Props levers also work and Feather, The left Condition lever which is lever 5 from the left (U axis I believe) has no effect on the left engine or on the quadrant graphic on the screen. The right Condition lever works as it should. At first I thought there was no signal coming from lever 5, however it shows movement within the CHManager utility - so there is a signal. FSUIPC however, gets nothing from it; I can't set reverse, min or max values. They're all zero. I don't know if that is enough for you to go on - hope you have some idea about lever 5 (left engine condition) I'm outta ideas. Thanks.
