Martin99 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Good evening Pete! I've a strange problem with FS2004 and my PFC Throttle Quadrant. I installed FSX in a separate Partition an tested your pfcfsx.dll 3.9.9.1. The Throttle Quadrant is connected to COM1. As I choosed this Port in FSX the Quadrant doesn't worked. Ok, but as I started FS2004 with pfc.dll 1.9.2.0 I can't choose COM1 because it's missing. I only have COM2,3 and None. Do you have an idea what happend? Best regards, Martin
Pete Dowson Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Do you have an idea what happend? No, sorry. Sounds like COM1 is already used by something else. Do you have GPSout loaded and using that? Check your other programs. Regards Pete
Martin99 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Posted October 19, 2006 Yes, that COM1 is already used was my first thought, but WHAT is using COM1? I don't know GPSout. Should this be in the Modules Folder? Strange ist, that when I start FSX there is COM1 available. Meanwhile in FSX COM1 isn't available too. Then I deleted the Modules Folder in FSX and the pfc.ini and pfc.log in FS2004, but this as well don't worked. Can I see somewhere which process is using COM1? Regards, Martin

Should this be in the Modules Folder? Not if you are not using it, no. Cross that possibility out. Can I see somewhere which process is using COM1? Try "portmon", http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Portmon.html Regards, Pete
Martin99 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Posted October 21, 2006 Hello Pete! Thank you for the Tool. Meanwhile I found the program which was using COM1. ActiveSync was the reason. There is a point where you can sync over the COM1 Port. I can't remember that i activated this, but no I deactivated it and now it works fine. Best regards, Martin
