FSUIPC 3.601 WIDEFS 6.596 problem

[dazzan]

HI Pete

I have installed the new versions FSUIPC 3.601 and Widefs 6.596.

I changed also to UDP protocol.

I only changed that in my configuration.

Now when I set my flaps through FSBUS connected to FSUIPC, the flaps are no longer going in the right position. This means if I set flaps to 5 the ProjectMagenta flap indicator moves three very small steps to position 1. It moves 3 times but only goes to position 1. If I set for example higher flaps like 25, this position works. I got this problem only after installing the new FSUIPC and Widefs version.

Another problem I have since a bit longer. Again FSBUS connects to FSUIPC.

If I pull my speedbreak lever I only get a setting to 24%, after it jumps to Armed. I can not set for example 25% or more.

Thanks for helping

I have installed the new versions FSUIPC 3.601 and Widefs 6.596.

Actually the current "new versions" are 3.617 and 6.616, respectively. I'm not sure what state WideFS 6.596 was in, that's from many weeks ago. Please check the Interim Versions announcement above and keep up to date if you want to try non-Release versions.

Well, I can most certainly assure you that this isn't anything to do with that change. The relationship between the flaps and the PM indications are contained in the Aircraft files declared to PM.

It really does sound like you must have changed something else at the same time. Please check your flap settings in a default FS aircraft such as the 737. I think you will find they are all fine. you may need to check your PM setup with PM support.

If I pull my speedbreak lever I only get a setting to 24%, after it jumps to Armed. I can not set for example 25% or more.

I have no idea how you are setting or calibrating your speed brake, as you give no useful information whatsoever, but most certainly if you use the axis facilities in FSUIPC they work fine. Are you assigning them to spoilers in FS? Do they work without FSUIPC in FS? Please sort things out with default aircraft and panels -- calibrate things properly -- before blaming FSUIPC or WideFS for everything.

Hi Pete

Thanks I will check that up.

I am not blaming FSUIPC or Wifdefs at all.

I am sorry if you did understand it that way.

These are really great products, without I would not

be able to build my cockpit.

Bye
