G91pan Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi all. Since I have istalled v 3.53 of FSUIPC my prop aicraft would not get to full power. I have the CH USB flight yoke and I have tried C172 default and SF 260 Realair. I move the power lever all fwd but after a short while it goes idle aborting take off. Everything OK with jets autothrottle. Any hints? Thank you. Giuseppe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything OK with jets autothrottle. If you are not using FSUIPC for any joystick calibration it isn't really doing anything. Why do you think this is anything to do with FSUIPC? Have you any reason for asserting so? Were you using FSUIPC before? What do you use it for? What has the AUTOthrottle on a jet got to do with the MANUAL throttle on your props? It sounds rather as if you simply need to calibrate your throttle properly or check for a faulty unit. If you have been messing about with FSUIPC options you don't understand, just try closing FS, deleting the FSUIPC.INI file from the FS Modules folder, and loading FS again. FSUIPC will then start with all default settings. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G91pan Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dear Pete, Thank you for your reply. I solved the problem. Besides CH USB Yoke I also had CH USB Flightstick insatalled which caused the problem. I did never experience this problem before with both flight controls installed and, when upgrading FSUIPC, never touched the joy calibration: in fact it is all automatic. Thank you anyway for your time and your excellent software. P.S. I am a registered user. Giuseppe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did never experience this problem before with both flight controls installed ... Ah, that's one of the things I should have remembered to ask you to check -- multiple assigned controls. You don't need to uninstall devices, just make sure there's only one assignment per control in the FS Options-Controls-Assignments section. There's a drop-down there which lists the different controls attached. You can use them all, but, worse, by default FS will assign the same axes to the same controls in each device. This default assignment will occur whenever FS has re-generate its FS9.CFG file for any reason, or if you actually installed or de-installed devices it already had listed. I am working on a system for axis assignment in FSUIPC, so all the FS kerfuffle can be bypassed, but it won't be ready for a while.

B42L8 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Maybe this is the same kind of problem, but I cannot get the mixture levers to be controlled by FSUIPC joysticks (nos 5&6)....did the calibrattion with CH Ctrl Mgr, assignments in FS, sens max, null min, start FS, go to modules, FSUIPC, joysticks, separate mixture and cannot get any values to show up on reset, where am I going wrong?? called CH Products and they said to just use the basic FS assignment............if so, how do I turn off the FSUIPC joystick controls?? Have aregistered copy............Other question, if I have activesky, traffic 2005, etc., what does FSUIPC do for or with these programs on FS??? Sure will appreciate an answer as the new quadrant is great fun but the mixture thing is frustration.........thanks much RRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, Can't help on the first part, but the second answer is that FSUIPC allows 3rd party programs, like Active Sky, a way to interface and communicate with FS04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B42L8 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 thanks for your comment, so it is best to have the reg FSUIPC running?? Does AS6 run without setting it up before starting FS and Just running FS with real weather setting?? The reason I ask is that I might have to shut off FSUIPC if I can't get the quadrant levers to work............thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 B42L8, When you are trying to assign the mixture levers in FSUIPC are you going to page 2 first and putting a check in the box for Map to 4 Mixt then going to page 4 and setting each lever?

B42L8 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 No, did not know this, thanks , will do this now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, FSUIPC.dll is automatically loaded everytime you start FS. You cannot "turn it off". Yes, you can remove it from the Modules folder, but then the other programs that require FSUIPC will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B42L8 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Jim, thanks for the advice, will then have to get my quadrant to work!! Responce to earlier post, I did go to page two, but if the Mixture 1 controller dows not respond , then no heop in mapping other levers, now how do I get no 5 lever to come alive?? Read somewhere that this is a default reverser??..........Back to active sky, is this running in FS, even though I did not specifically start AV6???

Bud Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Actually I think I was mistaken about the check in the map box, that is for one lever to control all mixtures. Take the check out of the box on page 2. Apparently though you say the levers are registering in FS when you assign them but not in FSUIPC? Do they work correctly in FS?

JSkorna Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi, No, AS runs outside of FS04. That is why AS needs FSUIPC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B42L8 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Thanks for the note, I forgot to say what a fantastic job you guys do in the weather graphics.........how can FS get any better :o RRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B42L8 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Bud, got all the levers to work after getting advice to put ALL sensitivities to max, that means moving the slider to catch the last three positions.....took me a long time before I figured that out.....now all is fine and great to have the quadrant!!!
