Axis help

[Justin737ng]

I am having an issue with my spoiler assignment. I use a go flight tq. This is new after a fresh install of fsuipc. I tried direct and as an axis. The lever will fluctuate and favor the retracted position. Along with this I am having the pmdg NGX flaps issue. Apparently this is fixed by deleting the fsuipc.ini? To elaborate when I extend to flaps even to 1 or 2 the aircraft flight dynamics act like I threw out 40 degrees although the lever is at the correct position as is the flap gauge and lights.

Is there another way to fix this or something to look for in the ini file? I have deleted and started over twice with the same results. Strange part is I haven't had this issue for years. All of a sudden it started.

There is no difference in the way FSUIPC handles the spoiler axis from any other. But you should always calibrate it when in the air, because when on the ground FS tends to activate the 100% apeed brake setting whenever the axis passes through the ARMed value.

If you have an axis misbehaving oddly the most usual explanation is that you have conflicting assignments, possibly both in FS and FSUIPC.

Along with this I am having the pmdg NGX flaps issue. Apparently this is fixed by deleting the fsuipc.ini?

The INI file contains all of your FSUIPC settings and selections, so, yes, if you don't want to use FSUIPC at all, delete the INI and it will use default settings. But I don't know how or why that is said to have anything at all to do with NGX flaps.

To elaborate when I extend to flaps even to 1 or 2 the aircraft flight dynamics act like I threw out 40 degrees although the lever is at the correct position as is the flap gauge and lights.

If the aircraft panel itself, in FS, shows the correct flap setting, then obviously your misbehaving aircraft is not doing so because of flaps but something else entirely. I'm afraid you need to look elsewhere.

Strange part is I haven't had this issue for years. All of a sudden it started.

Seems you've changed something, then, or installed something else which is affecting things. Are you sure it isn't all because you have assignments in both FS and FSUIPC, conflicting with each other?

I have nothing assigned in fsx Axis assignments. All buttons switches and axis assignments are in fsuipc.

I had seen on the pmdg knowledge base that there was a connection with a corrupt fsuipc.ini and this type of occurrence. They don't say it's a flaps issue on the knowledge base but extending flaps causes the drag.

I did install the q400 recently but that's all.

I will try the in air calibration assignment with the spoilers.

Thanks for the quick reply.
