Thanks Pete,
I will reset all to default 256, not sure how some got set to '1' .
Then do some more precise calibrating, other than that everything works perfectly.
all the best,
Ron.

I have paid version for FSX, all controllers use fsuipc, everything working well.
dual throttles for king air, noticed some variations in lever positions required. Then checked the axis and calibration settings and noticed I had set the 'delta' for each
a little different, ie. '1' on some and 254 on others. This is causing one lever needing to be moved further than the other, a bit unusual.
My question is; can I reset all delta numbers to default in the .ini file? or do I have to start over and clear all axis and recalibrate. I don't mind clearing the .ini file, but I have created a few macros that I don't want to redo. yokes and rudders took a while to calibrate to my liking, so I want to keep those settings.
I have looked at the file, but a little unsure which numbers to change, if it's possible.
RangeRepeatRate=10
0=0X,256,D,7,8,0,0
1=0Y,256,D,8,7,0,0
2=0U,256,D,5,0,0,0
3=0V,256,D,6,0,0,0
4=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0
5=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0
6=1Z,256,D,4,0,0,0
7=1U,256,D,5,0,0,0is the number in quote 256 the one to change?
Thanks in advance for a truly wonderful product,
best regards,
Ron.

Hi Manny,
Not much activity here,
I suspect your error is caused by the vertical speed gauge, airline aircraft use 0-6000fpm, where as GA usually have 0-3000fpm. So if you have the GA type selected for your Vertical speed it may generate the error, as the airline output is exceeding the gauge values.
As for the ID = 124. 124 is a general error code from Windows, and usually indicates a hardware malfunction. If you search for 124 errors you can find a lot. I cannot find any gauge with this ID, so I'm assuming that it may be this.

Hi Billiani,
I have read the guide and you are right it isn't clear which one is which.
however, the picture in the installation guide shows the colors of the cables and I can only tell you
what these represent in a computer power supply. PLEASE NOTE; that I'm assuming that FI are using standard colors from a power supply.
They are;
yellow= +12volts
BLUE = -12
RED = +5volts
WHITE= -5volts
BLACK= gnd.
So from the picture it looks like red at the top, then 2 blacks and a blue at the bottom.
The -12 from the blue is a bit confusing, but anyway, if you remove the fuses, they should have the voltage stamped on them somewhere.

Hi xheadrasta ( interesting name )
There is a thing called a user agent string utility which emulates the explorer 6 and enables you to read properly any site which has not changed to support explorer 7 yet. You can download it from here;
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/supfault.mspx
under the question, my favorite websites don't download correctly.
there is the download.
You may also want to check the Tabs feature of ex7 as this can be turned off or on, I have only seen the beta version but remember that it has this feature. more information is available from the link.
hope this helps,
Ron.

Hi Richard,
I'm sure that you will need the FSUIPC for FSX version to have the gauges work, so you will need to update this.
regards,
Ron.
Edit; just read the previous post and the question was answered??

Hi Paul,
there is no way to dim the led's through software at the moment. I have purchased white 7 seg display's (radios etc ) and will run them with some blue filter paper to give a nice blue display. I will also try to do the same with the gauges, if you remove the bezel and glass and try to cover the small led opening with some filter paper or diffuser type, it should effectively 'dim' the light.
I would avoid putting it in direct contact with the led itself, even though there is hardly any heat etc. I haven't done it yet but maybe if you experiment with this you should come up with a solution that suits you.
I did think of changing the led's to blue ones but I don't want to mess with the gauges too much.

Hi guys,
there is a program in FSUIPC called "weatherset2.exe" and is used for real world weather. more info can be found in the text file with it about settings etc. It's in the one I received with FSUIPC but is an 'exe' file and must be installed. This was made by pete Dawson to overcome the problems you seem to be having. I'm sure you have to clear default fs settings for it to work properly. There are settings that have to be made in the FSUIPC control panel for it to work right.
There was a weatherset 1 version and you must have the latest FSUIPC file etc. etc. have a check on the website for more info.
Hugo, you need to check that the PIC-300 does support Mbar, it may only use Hg.
hope this helps,
Ron.

I now see that the faceplate in the ADF/VOR dual needle instrument must be able to rotate to align with heading. Therefore is much more complicated than I first thought. It turns automatically in FS but a manually turned one could be a possibility? Any ideas?
Ron.
-
Hi Simbuff,
Are you saying that the dual needle gauge can be used to read the ADF, VOR 2. As in the King Air for example. Does the software support this?
I can provide the faceplate and needles. If so, then I will be ordering one or two.
Ron.

I will have to disagree on this;
I think the I/O board is a great idea, as it connects to the CIM that drives the gauges and there are a lot of us out here, building GA type aircraft and using FI gauges. We don't need a great number of switches and outputs, therefore the module is ideal for us.
I am running my sim (KA350 ) from one computer, so the less varying software in the system the better.
I would certainly agree with you if you are building a 747 flightdeck and require complex circuit boards. There are a lot of quality boards available.
For the rest of us, it's great.
If you look at the switches, they are mostly GA type.
Ron.

If you look for similar post here, Duplication of gauges, I have asked the same question and an answer is given to say ;yes it is possible. Not sure about them having independant settings
though?
Ron.

here's a link to a solution for the trim gauge, not sure how it's connected but a lot of details given
-
on it's way, hope you have Broadband as it's 10-12 meg. I included some other files as well if needed,
regards,
Ron.

Can do, but will need your e-mail address???

Sounds like you have it sorted,

Ron.

Hi Manny,
I thought I'd confirm that first.
It sounds like the needle "o" position has moved somehow. I would check with FI first, but I had this problem with one of my engine gauges. You may have to remove the bezel and carefully move the needle to the zero position by hand. The needles are a press on fit and may require you to lift off and replace in the correct position. This I did successfully with one of mine. Try not to touch the face plate or inside of the glass with your fingers, as you may mark them.
As I said, please check with FI, as the alt. gauge may differ from the engine gauge.
regards,
Ron.

Is 800 the altitude of the airport where you are starting the flight?
check the altitude of the airport.
even if the airport is at sea level and the baro pressure is not set correctly then it may not read zero. This is how it works in the real world and the altimeter reading remains at the altitude of the airport as it reads air pressure outside. If the airport altitude is 4500 ft above sea level then that would be the initial reading before takeoff. not zero, and circuit height would be 5500 feet. ie, your planned descent to that airport would be to 5500 ft, then fly circuit at 1000 feet above ground and land at 4500 ft.
Before takeoff, set baro pressure to that given in ATIS ( 1013,1012, etc.)and the altimeter should read Altitude of the airport and this is confirmed during preflight checks, ie on airport charts.
If however, this is a gauge fault then I can't say.
hope this helps,
regards,
Ron.

Sounds great, I will be ordering more for the co-pilots side, thanks very much,
regards,
Ron.
-
I intend to use the gauges for the Pilots side but I want to duplicate the flight instruments for the co-pilots side. has anyone done this and how can it be done. As I understand, each instrument has to be assigned it's own number in the chain, would this cause a conflict in the software?
This is a question I need an answer to before ordering more gauges.
regards,
Ron.

Fatal error G3d.dll
in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Posted
Hi Pete,
noticed this post while looking at mine above, There was a thread over at Avsim a while ago, that gave you credit for fixing G3d.dll errors. Maybe why Claudio posted here.
here is the link; http://www.avsim.com/topic/355100-g3ddll-workaroundfix-to-prevent-fsx-crashes/
