Hi Pete, I am thoroughly impressed with the 737 cockpit you have built and the guys did an outstanding job of handling her. What a treat to watch, thanks very much. Robert Vancouver, BC

I managed to make the Airbus X throttle reverse using FSUIPC. All the axis have been removed from the FSX Controls and are set using FSUIPC. This can be set as a single axis throttle or multiple throttle's, your choice. Once in the FSUIPC UI press Rescan and move your throttle axis, you should see the IN/OUT values change from -16384 to 16384. As I have 2 types of Airbus Addons I have selected "Profile Specific" and named it Aerosoft Airbus A32X. Remember to set "Type of action required" to "Send direct to FSUIPC calibration" selecting "Throttle" as your action. For multiple throttles you will select Throttle_1 etc. Next I have set the range number for this action as #1 and placed a check-mark in the UP/Down boxes and pressed the From/To buttons at each end of the axis accordingly. For "Control sent when range entered" I placed a check-mark and selected "Axis Throttle Set" and placed the corresponding "Parameter" #65675 below it. Okay that part is done, now for the reversers. Next I set the second range number for the reversers by pressing the up arrow where the number 1 that was set above has now changed to a #2 and I placed a check-mark beside the Down box. Again pressing the From/To buttons starting at the lower end of the axis pressing "From" ending partway up and pressing "To." You will only have to change the value slightly as you can see from the image below, your choice. Next for "Control sent when range entered" I placed a check-mark and selected "Throttle Decr" and placed the corresponding "Parameter" 65602, placed a check-mark in :Control to repeat whilst in range" and then a third check-mark and "Control sent when range entered" with the command "Throttle Cut" with the "Parameter" 65604. Now you can simply press OK and return to the sim to see that you now have a reverser on your Aerosoft Airbus X or you may select the "Joystick Calibration Tab" and place a check-mark beside "Profile Specific" which will use the title you gave it on the Axis Assignment tab. I am looking into how to make the assignments for all the Aerosoft Airbus models without having to access the FSUIPC UI each time you change to another Aerosoft Airbus. It will be handy if one flies both the Aerosoft and Blackbox addons.

FSUIPC4 is for FSX, FSUIPC3 is for FS9. They are completely distinct programs and products. OK, understood.

Hello Peter, I am currently using FSUIPC3 (registered) and will be networking my computer with a new one in the coming weeks. I would like to run ActiveSky and FSBuild on the "old" computer and as I see it I will require WideFS to link the 2 computers together. On the new computer I will be running FS9 for a while and then FSX will be installed so my question is do I have to purhcase FSUIPC4 or can I run everything with the older version of FSUIPC3? Also, you should have Simmarket remove the "upgrade special" since the 6 month grace period has expired and it is a slap on the face to those of us who have supported FSUIPC since the early days. I cannot remember ever receiving an upgrade notice from Simmarket and I know that it is not within your control as to what publishers decide, but maybe you can remind them that the offer is still there. Thanks,

Hi Peter, So what you are saying is that if I assign toe brakes, throttle settings in FS9 that should do it then. FSUIPC is there to show me the values and that everything is working properly then. Thanks,

Nasser, You could look at MSFS Aircraft and Panel Design Forum http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=&forum=122 which is located at http://www.avsim.com In the forum section you will find panel design and aircraft design help. Best of luck in your undertaking.

Hello, I looked at the FSUIPC manual recently wanting to configure my HOTAS Cougar and Simped rudder pedals (with toe brakes) so they will function properly in FS9. I have calibrated the two in the HOTAS program and I have noticed that the throttle will not go to 100% or above nor will the toe brakes function. Also, there is a detent on my throttle and I would like the reverse thrust to kick in when it is pulled below that point. I understand that you cannot include instructions for each hardware setup and I will try to experiment but I was wondering if FSUIPC can make the above work in FS9? Thanks in advance.
