Paolo borroni Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I lately have some problem with the drivers pfc 1.90. and com1 port it seems that the com port is not initialized well and so the frequencies radio don't appear on the jetliner console. I have also noticed that if I extinguish and I turn on the jetliner console the mcp of the cpflight is disarmed . I have checked the *. ini file to verify if the com port is justly inserted and all seems me in order. Pfc 1.90 set on com1 cpflight MCP set on com2 regards Paolo B.

Pete Dowson Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I lately have some problem with the drivers pfc 1.90. and com1 portit seems that the com port is not initialized well and so the frequencies radio don't appear on the jetliner console. I have also noticed that if I extinguish and I turn on the jetliner console the mcp of the cpflight is disarmed .

There's been no changes in COM port handling in the PFC drivers, and 1.90 has been out for some time. The initialisation is via standard Windows APIs and work for all my programs using COM ports, and has done for many years. You need to check cables, and try swapping COM ports. If this has started recently you need to think what you changed in the system which could be messing things up. You may also need to contact PFC to see how to check the hardware. I find that, with most modern PCs, the USB port works better and is more reliable than the old COM ports which I think Microsoft want to forget. To use a USB port you would need to get a USB serial adapter. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
