Compatibility question

[nantelp]

Hi,

I am in the process of upgrading my very old PFC console (serial). I am looking at buying the  Throttle Quadrant Console (USB) from PFC so I can leverage my 6 Throttles I already own. I would like to make sure that FSUIPC6 & 7 and PFChid64.DLL for P3D4, P3D5 and MSFS (FS2020) is compatible with this unit. see attach file.

Thank you

I'm sorry, but I cannot advise on the compatibility of such a devices. However, it should work, but you may want PFC (or other such device users) to confirm.
I can confirm that the PFChid64.DLL is compatible with both FSUIPC6 and FSUIPC7.

If it is a proper USB Hid device then it is likely that it is also a Joystick type device, which would mean that it would be plug-compatible with FS as it is, with no need for one of my PFC drivers. The fact that it boasts "compatible with X-Plane and FSX" would seem to point that way. But, as John says, you should be asking PFC -- after all you are buying it from them. I've not seen any new equipment from PFC for many years.

Thank you both,

I have contacted PFC and they say that I need your driver to get it to work in MSFS2020 and P3D. It's actually a good news for me, I will not have to learn a new configuration method and I like the combination of the DLL and FSUIPC, I use the profile option extensively .

Ok, good to know. Thanks for reporting back.
