Apologies for the delay in my reply -- as announced at the top of this Forum I've been away with no Internet access from 24th September until 12th October.

I have the lates version of fsuipc

"Latest" being what version number please? 3.50 is current. Many folks mean "the last version I saw" when they say "latest", and it has happened that this has been a year out of date! ;-)

and am using the throttle quad I would ask how to get the flaps axis to work int the PMDG 744

What "throttle quad"? The CH one, or the GoFlight one, or another? There's quite a lot of threads here about the CH quad, and some references to articles by Bob "Sticky" Church, the CH expert.

but I am so tired of trying to figure it out I preaty much gave up and the same goes with the reverse thrust

Have you tried with a default aircraft? I think the PMDG aircraft are pretty unique and do their own thing. Get it sorted with a default aircraft first. I'm afraid I don't know the PMDG 747 at all, but there should be enough documentation supplied with it for you to at keast igure out keypress assignments.

but I would like to know how to program the switches on the quad. to do such things as autobrake increase/decrease select alt hold in mcp app vnav/lnav etc I went to button in the menu of fsuipc assigned the correct actions

The correct actions for FS probably won't be the correct actions for PMDG aircraft. I suspect you will need to make keypress asignments.
