Yoke stops working with QW 146

[Darran Kent]

Hello

 

I am having a problem when trying to use FSUIPC with the Quality Wings 146. I have set the controls in p3d itself to be ignored and configured my axis to be sent direct to FSUIPC ( i have a Cesna pro flight yoke and throttle set).

 

All works ok but after about 5 seconds the throttle and yoke stop working. It only appears to happen as soon as i activate the cold and dark state on the FMC .This seems to be the only aircraft I am having problems with. I have also posted on the QW forums.

 

If I set the yoke and throttles to be controlled from the sim itself they work all the time

 

Can anyone help me out?

 

kind regards

I feel a bit of a fool :wacko: I found out the reason why the controls stop working, Its to do with the hydraulic pressure droping to zero when i set the plane to cold and dark. Once I power up APU etc and hydraulics the controls work fine.

That's one trouble with using more realistic simulations -- you need to understand more about what is going on! I get similarly misled myself too sometimes!
