Hi Pete, Im using the CH pro yoke, but the CH throttle quadrant (the three little grey levers on top) I disconnected so as to use the PFC throttle quadrant-which is set up for Twin Prop baron style-6 lever control. I also was using the CH pedals and everything was hunky-dory. For the sake of simplicity I disconnected the CH stuff completely (the drivers are still in there) to try to get the PFC digital throttle to work. The CH stuff works ok on its own. The MS pro Joystick USB works ok either on its own or with the CH pedals fitted. heck Im sorry but I cannot remember which drivers I was using before. I took bits and pieces from my old Pc to build the new one so now Ive lost them. Bear with me here Pete but Im a little confused. I have FSUIPC version 3.52 and I may be looking at the wrong menu. When I look at the top menu bar I have Flights-Aircraft-World-Options-Views-Help-Modules-PFC On Options I dont have a test page. If I go to PFC there is a test page but the only options are I am using a Jetliner Yoke I am using a Pro Console with electric trim I am using a Beech or Mooney Yoke The right hand window scrolls through the f swtches with unknown or ? marks continuously regardless of which option is chosen. When I look at the flight controls menu everything is static with the exception of the ailerons slider which has a "nervous twitch" fluctuating rapidly from 42 sometimes down to 10 on the input value box! I have nothing else connected either on a Serial port or a USB port. I remember having this problem before and I fixed it (?) with an earlier version of FSUIPC. The problem surfaced very occasionally after I "fixed " it but shutting down Fs9 and restarting seemed to cure it. Now, could it be that its just a coincidence that changing the driver seemed to fix an intermittant hardware fault ?

Hi Pete, I recently changed my Pc and went over entirely to Fs9 (my old Pc having Fs8 and Fs9). Im running XP pro and a 3 gig system. Ive downloaded the latest drivers for my PFC digital console from both shiratti and PFC but it doesnt work any more. On the test prog i get the following- FSUIPC is okay. All options available: 3.5200 - a green tick COM2 open ok com port open- a green tick Yoke aileron control Okay! a green tick Pedals rudder control Okay ! a green tick Throttle quadrant operation No results seen at all! - a red cross If I move the first lever (from left side) sometimes the view changes ! Move the second the mags cut! Ive gone through the PFC menu and the throttle is enabled but when I try to set any of the levers there is no movement of the sliders on the screen. Ive tried "COM port 1", "COM port 2" "None" and it makes no difference. Ive tried to contact PFC for 3 weeks but theres no answer from them (lucky b#ggers must be on their hols! Do you have any ideas before I pull out what little hair Ive got left :(
