[Pauses in PM Software]

hi - I've had the same issues and have switched to a gigabit network on all PC's/switch - this has made it much better.... I've noticed that the "mini pause" happened when there was a change of graphic data - ie, if I selected WXR or STA on the efis - anyway, the gigabit seems to have taken care of it - looks like a network card / setting thing...

[Stab Trim Cutout offset]

HI Peter

Thanks for the reply -

I was indeed looking for "stabilizer" and not "elevator" - found the offset, and will try it

thanks again!

[Stab Trim Cutout offset]

Hi All -

Is there an offset to inhibit/disable the stabilizer trim in FS or PM? I couldn't seem to find any in the lists - I'm trying to explore a failure scenario via PM INST for loss of elevator trim - I know there are inhibits for flaps. gear, etc -

Any pointers would be great!

thanks

Farrokh.

[mcp startup/runready]

hi - yes, I'm in touch with PM - will check with FDS as well - thanks!

[mcp startup/runready]

HI Peter

I'm haveing a strange (to me at least) problem with my PM MCP program. If I launch it from anything other than the actual program icon, it will not fire up the MCP hardware (FDS G1) - if i use run ready, or a shortcut, the program runs, but the mcp hardware remains dead -

and

I've run PMfilecheck and I'm getting this report: it shows me five connections to PCSIX - is this normal? PCSIX runs the PM CDU and has the NetDir - I've been having problems here too, with the MCP hardware freezing up occasionally -

Thanks!

Farrokh

[Can FSUIPC support generic potentiometer input?]

Hi Peter - now that's a pity - thanks for the quick reply anyway - will check on the phi forum if there's a way to fine tune via their s'ware - or something else -

cheers,

FC

[Can FSUIPC support generic potentiometer input?]

Hi Peter -

I'm using Phidgets (8/8/8) cards to interface the pots on my cockpit - the pots are the original ones (one on each throttle, flaps, elevator) from the 747 shell I'm using, they work fine and the Phidgets software interfaces them with MSFS - however, the FSUIPC options menu/joystic calib window does not reflect the changing values when I move the pots - in effect, I can't use the options in fsuipc like the various response curvers, which are great for fine tuning - Does this mean that if I use Phidgets, these fsuipc goodies will be unavailable? Or have I not switched on something..

Cheers,

Farrokh.
