Oleksiy Dash-8 Update & FSUIPC

[dash8311]

Peter,

I have been using Oleksiy's Dash-8 since version 1.0 and FSUIPC before I can even remember and it is now causing me problems. I have the latest versions of each program (D-8, 1.004B, and FSUIPC 3.11, registered) and I am receiving oscillation (±500fpm) with my Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro 2 with AP engaged. I highly doubt this is an airplane problem rather FSUIPC related. In the Dash-8 forum they have had Precision Pro 2 Force Feedback joysticks doing this and when they turn FF off, it solved the problem. Any ideas from your end? I’ll look in FS9.cfg and see if I have FF turned on (I don’t own a FF joystick but it’s worth a try).

Sincerely,

Kris Reaville

Peter,

Problem solved. Turning off FF eliminated the oscillations. I'm not sure why it would do this but it is definatly something needed to be looked at.

Thanks again,

Kris

Sorry, I know zero about FF and it isn't an area I want to get tangled up in. You'll need to report it to Microsoft. It won't be anything to do with FSUIPC at all.

Regards,

Pete
