jordanal Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Pete, I think we might have another PMDG unique-coding conflict, specifically between FSUIPC v4.222 and the PMDG 744X. My flaps scale seems to be cut in half. It doesn't matter if I use "Normal" flaps axis or "direct" flaps axis. All other axis seem to be working to full scale and move as expected within the 744X. The flaps calibration "IN" is reads normal +16383 to -16384 and the "OUT" is commanding 0 to 16384 (Rev.) as expected. But, the PMDG flaps lever as drawn on the 744X pedistal, is only moving between flaps 10 and flaps 30 (bottom half travel) along with the ND display showing the same thing, flaps 10 to flaps 30. Something in a recent FSUIPC change seems to affected the PMDG 744X flaps logic. Regards, Al Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanal Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Seemingly confirmed issue. I dropped back to FSUIPC v4.208 beta (changing nothing else) and restarting the sim with the same PMDG 744X at the same location. I now have full-scale flaps lever travel as depicted visualy on the pedestal. AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have full-scale flaps lever travel as depicted visualy on the pedestal. Nothing's been deliberately changed in this area except for the provision of a facility to disconnect the flaps axis altogether. For me to investigate further I need to know a little more about how you've set up the flaps please. Do you use the detentes facility? And can you show me the Falsp entries from the Calibration section of the INI file, please? I'll try and set up a test here in the meantime.

jordanal Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nope, nothing special like detents in use. Just reversed axis calibration using my Saitek throttle-quad.

Pete Dowson Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nope, nothing special like detents in use. Sorry, found it! Typo in that change I mentioned. It was bypassing a piece of code which dealt with the change in the flaps range needed by FS2004 and FSX, differently to FS2002 and before. It applies to all aircraft, not just the PMDG one, and it doesn't affect you if you use the FSUIPC flap detentes facilities. That was my problem. When I re-tested this are after the changes I omitted to clear down my detentes and check it in "plain" mode as well. Apologies. I'll get a new update in the Announcements soon. Maybe not till the morning now. It also affects the latest FSUIPC3 increment! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
