Hi Ch
I don't have the same problem with step 12 so I will investigate that point again, downloading the map shouldn't affect the axes settings unless you forgot to save your settings after calibration ie before downloading in this case you could be picking up your old settings? CMSTART.exe is available fro the CH Products site alongside the CHCM ver 4.0 manager. Bob Church's CMNOTE02.zip makes it easy to set up the TQ using FSUIPC.

Hi CH
I see that you used CHCM to set up the TQ - only use ver 4.0 by the way it is by far and away the best version. Using CHCM did you use "mapped" mode and then subsequently "download" your map which would automatically transfer your mapped values into FS2004. (There is a small program called CMSTART.EXE which will automatically download your latest map in CHCM into FS2004 everytime Windows starts.) If you did this then your TQ assignments in FS2004 will be exactly the same as those that you assigned in CHCM.
In FS2004 under assignments always ensure that sensitivity is full right and null zone full left for ALL 6 TQ axes.
However you can set up TQ in FSUIPC alone and the best guide to this is Bob Church's cmnote02.zip available from http://www.stickworks.com. I have posted a guide to setting up the CH Yoke, TQ, Pro Pedals on the CH-Hangar.com web site, using CHCM, FS9 and FSUIPC under "general" : http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2691.
Hope this helps

One of the reasons that CHCM maybe NOT working for you is that it needs to be in "mapped" mode in order to work effectively in FS2004 (ie in order to be able to use the settings you assigned in CHCM). However you can set up RT in FSUIPC alone and the best guide to this is Bob Church's cmnote02.zip available from http://www.stickworks.com. I have posted a guide to setting up the CH Yoke, TQ, Pro Pedals on the CH-Hangar.com web site, using CHCM under "general" : http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2691.
Hope this helps

Might be worth trying the http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum as it may be possible to program what you want via CH Control Manager v4.0, using its scripting language. Whether it will work effectively in FS9 is another matter. Bob Church is an excellent resource person.

Hi Holger
I understand now! The new patch worked like a dream!
Thanks
Do I need to also use FallRRFix.zip? (To fix fall rail road issues?)
Thanks

Hi Holger
I installed the CD for Misty Fjords as per your instructions in the other MF forum above. I downloaded the two patches as stated in your post,. Using Using ut_mf_v2 I extracted the two folders containg the bat files as instructed. I moved the UTbackup folder into the FS9\Scenery\UT canada directed and ran the "install-backup of UT-MF overlap files.bat and only got the following two files extracted: HL912120.bgl and HP912120.bgl only. There were no 11 files with either bgl or xxl endings? What has happened?
The other bat file install-exchange of UT-MF overlap files.bat worked Ok and produced the 12 files starting0_DF or 1_DF!
InUT_MF_ver 3 I could not extract even one folder just two bat files and a help txt file. In the text files your instructions say that 2 folders will be extracted. The two bat files are "install - backup of UT-MF overlap files - v1-2.bat" and the "unistall etc bat".
What is the correct way to run v3.
What have I done wrong in ver 2?
Should I have installed misty_update_1 first?
Please help so I can get flying in this area.
Thanks

Hi Holger
I have just purchased the CD version of MF here in australia. The dates in the CD are 9th March 2005. My questions are:
1) I have all the FS Genesis 38mesh installed in a dedicated folder under FS9\addon \scenery\FSG
2) I have FS Global 2005 installed world wide except for North America
3) I have UT Canada/Alaska ver 1.2 installed
4) I have USA Roads installed
5) I have Nu Roads 2 installed
6) I have Ulimate Night Environment Pro Installed.
7) Traffic 2005 installed
8) FE installed
9) ASVe installed
Do I have any installation issues?
What patches do I need to apply in any of the above to ensure compatability and when are these applied.
What order in the scenery.cfg should the above be in iorder to always have the correct scenery selected.
Should additions from Misty Moorings go above below the above?
I would appreciate your help before I install
Thanks

Hi Jim and Pete
Many thanks for the info. For Jim, I merely gave ASVe as an example of where a copy of FSUIPC.dll was included in the software. Pete Dowson seems to have the situation well in hand as his program has enough smarts to know if there were more than one version installed.
Thanks so much for your effort and time.

Hi Pete
Sometimes add-on programs will try to "install" a version of FSUIPC.dll with their software which may or may not be the latest version. Sometimes you get an option to install the included FSUIPC.dll, but sometimes you do not. ASVe and FS Real time both spring to mind. Now you could end up with multiple copies of FSUIPC all of vaying versions and dates in your Fligt Simulator 9 directory. (ASVe "installs" their included version of FSUIPC in Flight Simulator 9 \Modules\ASV\ folder).
My questions are:
1) Should there only be ONE copy of FSUPIC.dll in the FS9 folder?
2) Will multiple copies of the FSUIPC.dll and of varying ages and versions on your PC cause any problems?
3)Should you delete all other copies of FSUIPC.dll except the registered one?
Thanks

Hi Pete
Many thanks for the explanation. With regard to the axes I meant to mean what you posted but obviously put it badly.

Hi Mike
You are correct in your assumption. If you have a key or axis assigned in FS04 then that assignment has to be matched exactly in FSUIPC for it work without conflicts. If it is NOT assigned in FS04 then you can use FSUIPC to assign the keystroke(s). I always make sure that any assignments in my fs9.cfg match both my devices.cfg and FSUIPC.ini wherever possible.

Hi Pete and Bob
Many thanks for the explanation. I have learned from your replies and found them invaluable.
To PeteD; No I am not programming, I was trying understand where FSUIPC picked up its values from when you calibrate the various axes. You do need to know where its picking up the values from for instance if the axes sensitivity is set full right in assignments this is returned as 127 in fs9.cfg then FSUIPC will return a figure of 16,000+ in the calibration, likewise if this figure is 64 then FSUIPC will only show around 8000.
The offsets comment was a joke, I read your forums avidly but when there is a question about offsets I could never understood how you could use them or where you put a particular value. I do now thanks to your explanation.
Thanks again to both of you.

Do you have any answers for my post a couple of days ago?

Hi Pete
This correspondent raised some good points and I have raised the following questions with Bob Church and the ones he didn't answer I have posted here to get your opinion. Your manuals are great but what a lot of computer literate people forget is that not all of us have the same understanding of what is written down about quite complex technical matters. This is NOT a criticism but just a statement of how I and other people of similar ilk understand computing. Believe me, I read your manuals from FS2000 onward after advice from Bob Church, over and over again and it can take me 2-3 days to understand what you are trying to say in those manuals, and I went to Wednesbury Boys High School.
Now to the questions:
Should the joystick settings in the fs9.cfg be EXACTLY the same as those settings in the devices.cfg, if not will that "confuse" FSUIPC?
What is the purpose of the settings in a) fs9.cfg and b)devices.cfg? Why do we need both?
Does allocating new settings in FS2004 via Assignments put these new values in the devices.cfg, fs9.cfg or both?
Settings:
In say an axis event, the settings vary and I would like to understand what the values mean?
For example:
AXIS_EVENT-00=AXIS_FUNCTION_SET
AXIS_SCALE=127 (or -127)
AXIS_NULL=1
or
AXIS_EVENT-01=AXIS_FUNCTION_SET
AXIS_SCALE=64
AXIS_NULL=36
My questions here are:
In the AXIS_EVENT_00 number,
Do these numbers ie 00, 01, 02, 03 ,04, 05, 06 have any significance?
Do these numbers have to be in numerical order in the cfg file? Ie 00 before 01 etc?
Do these number have to be in the same order as on the device, eg on the CHTQ we have six basic axes, and usually they are numbered 00 to 05 from left to right. Does the order matter?
Why do we start at 00 and not 01?
In the AXIS_SCALE:
Do the numbers mean anything?
Sometimes we have 127, or -127, or 64, etc.
Are these values significant?
Do they have anything to do with sensitivity settings in FS2004?
Does the minus value indicate that the “reverse box “ is ticked in FS2004?
In the AXIS_NULL:
Do the numbers mean anything?
Sometimes we have 0, or 1, or 36, etc.
Are these values significant?
Do they have anything to do with null settings in FS2004?
Sometimes the values for a particular function are duplicated in the devices.cfg file and you have two different AXIS_EVENT_## numbers assigned to the same function in FS2004. (This is seen in a CH Products devices.cfg for a twin engine set up)
[CH Pro Pedals USB]. Does the double entry affect handling?
AXIS_EVENT_00=AXIS_LEFT_BRAKE_SET
AXIS_SCALE_00=-127
AXIS_NULL_00=36
AXIS_EVENT_01=AXIS_RIGHT_BRAKE_SET
AXIS_SCALE_01=-127
AXIS_NULL_01=36
AXIS_EVENT_02=AXIS_RUDDER_SET
AXIS_SCALE_02=127
AXIS_NULL_02=1
AXIS_EVENT_06=AXIS_RUDDER_SET
AXIS_SCALE_06=127
AXIS_NULL_06=1
BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_00=
BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_01=
Any help would be appreciated. When I finally comprehend what offsets are and what they do, will mean that I have finally seen the light!!

I need your help to assign (and calibrate) cowl flaps (single engine) to one of the spare levers (I chose the middle lever arbitrarily) on a CH Yoke (USB) using FSUIPC 3.48. I have read the manual(s) as thoroughly as I am able but I still need some clarification. In accordance with the instructions I have assigned the designated value (from the FS2004 list of controls), ie COWLFLAP1_SET 66162 in the [Joystick Calibration] section of the ini file. I then tried to assign the axis via "settings - joystick assignments" in FS2004 (to the middle lever on the CH Yoke) to Cowl Flaps, but could not achieve that, I could only assign a key stroke for cowl flaps. On starting FS2004, opening FSUIPC and going to Page 8 of the joystick set up for cowl flaps, I find that none of the levers on the yoke move any of the values on Page 8 for the cowl flaps. This is not surprising as I haven’t assigned anything in FS2004 for FSUIPC to work with. Therefore, I have obviously missed a step somewhere! My question is how to assign an axis or axes in FS2004 (to Cowl Flaps) so that it is assigned to the middle lever on the CH Yoke and hence FSUIPC can calibrate it?
Hope you can help?

Hi Pete
I'll add my two penn'orth and say thanks too. I find it much easier to configure and calibrate my CH Trio in FS2004, due the clarity of instructions in the manuals. (With sincere apologies to Bob Church)

HI McCord
Sounds absolutely idyllic any chance of posting some of your pics on the forum? It would be interesting to see what it was like back then. Did you do any fishing whilst you were there? I was fly fishing in New Zealand in 1982 on the West Coast of the South Island - another wild place. Ah Memories!
Great story
