Hover vtol

[ande1879]

I have tried for days to get my osprey to hover with no luck. Also I have wilco tilt rotor and it wont hover either just takes off like a regular airplane regardless of the "flap" position. I have fsuipc4 unregistered installed addon tab shoes fsuipc but no luck. Maybe I don't have my joystick set up right any and all help will be appreciated. Also im using fsx with acceleration pack

I'm not sure how an unregistered FSUIPC4 or even a registered one has anything at all to do with hovering your add-ons? Have you tried the support forum for the products you are using which don't work for you?

I guess hover is the wrong work it wont take off vertically. I hear that fsuipc4 is required in order for vertical takeoff to work.

It'll be the hover gauge by Rob Barendrecht (which I probably just spelt wrong again), Pete.

I think, although I'm not 100% sure and I'm not at my FS PC to check, that the system uses FSUIPC to talk to the aircraft, as Rob has basically programmed an entirely new flight model outside the sim, which is controlled by a gauge.

I'll have a look at what the requirements are and how it works when I get back onto my main box rather than the notebook.

Hmm. Maybe, but I'm afraid I don't know much about it. You still need to ask the folks who implemented it.

Thanks. I wouldn't know where to start looking. Folks use FSUIPC in all sorts of ways and I can't really diagnose problems with software I don't have nor know how they work. Normally the best source of support for an addon is the add-on producer.

It was a fsuipc4 problem, bad install simply reinstalling did noting. I had to remove all contents from the module folder and then reinstall. That fixed it. Thank you all for your reply's.

I strongly object to you saying it was an "FSUIPC4 problem"!

There's nothing changed in FSUIPC4 that reinstalling it would affect. Possibly you simply made bad settings, so simply deleting the INI file, the only file containing all of your settings, would have also sorted it. The whole of the program called "FSUIPC4" is contained in the one module, FSUIPC4.DLL, and reinstalling it does not destroy your settings -- there would be a furore if it did!
