Well I suppose there has to be one, but I have to wonder why it's always me! I started using FSX in 2008 on MS Vista with no problems. Due to moving and work committments everything went into storage in 2016 and I've only now managed to rebuild and install FSX Steam Edition, now with vastly upgraded computer hardware. With rudder pedals and joystick I've been flying my Cirrus Moth all over the U.K. without any problems. However, upon mounting my Yoke and throttle quadrant things took a sinister turn. The quadrant throttle was either 50% or 100% power which resulted in some exiting takeoffs, landings, and subsequent crashes. As I mentioned earlier, my joystick along with it's throttles worked perfectly but with multiple attempts at assigning the quadrant levers along with calibration resulted in no change to them at all. I ended up using the joystick throttles while I tried to resolve the issue. I then realised that my master switches in FSX were turning themselves on and of at random. I had one of those days when I tried everything to fix the problem to no avail when, suddenly, a miracle occurred and they started working. It certainly wasn't anything to do with me! Having found your excellent video on FSUIPC I realised that this was the answer and purchased the download/registration. I then proceeded to follow the instructions in the video to the letter. I know you're already well ahead of me and, yes, you're correct, absolutely nothing changed. Except the flaps don't work either now. Well, I say don't work. They've come out in sympathy with the throttles and are either fully up or fully down meaning my take-offs at Post Mills and elsewhere get interesting. I've trawled all over the internet and discovered that others have had this problem and invariably resolved it with FSUIPC or Spad.neXt (which I haven't tried yet presuming I need to get FSUIPC working first?). I also note that one or two people have had less than pleasant encounters with SimFlight trying to resolve issues and on that basis, and before I go into combat with them, and without taking up any more of your valuable time, can you offer an outstretched arm and point me in a direction that might help me resolve my problems? Either way, your tutorials are first rate and have also stood the test of time! Many thanks.

Hi Terry and firstly a huge thank you for your kind words, it's very much appreciated! I'm really glad you like the tutorials, although it's a shame you are having the issues that you describe. I have to be honest and say it's been literally years since I fired up flight sim, maybe 4 years or so! Similar to yourself, life's situation changed, and the time I did spend on the gaming rig was spent on truck sim and train sim lol. Anyway, I feel your pain, as in the past I had similar control issues, but it was usually a case of config conflict between fsuipc/spad vs the config of fsx. In truth I'm not even sure that I have fsuipc and spad even installed anymore, but I will check and get back to you. The only suggestion I can offer right now is to make sure that there are no controls configured in fsx that clash with fsuipc or spad. Given the years that have passed since I last did any flight sim, and even more years since making the tutorials, I would even have to search KZbin for more recent guides myself lol. Sorry I can't help more at this stage, but I wish you good luck in sorting things out!!! All the best, Nige

hello good evening steeler. Now new a have purchased a Flightstick from Virpil (Constellation Alpha). I have problems to program this stick in the FSUIPC, this means the axis like elevator and ailerons. I can not identify the stick in the axis assignments. In the FSX all the axis a have removed.

Thank you. On the verge of buying this and I needed more clarification, this has helped. I have a Q though. How on earth did you get the Saitek Yoke to show in the Control drop down menu? I have this set up and for the life of me, I can't get it to show, So setting the thing up is very hit and miss. Hence, why I need to get FSUIPC. Thanks again.

I'am a FAA certified Private Pilot of 60 yrs experience flying CESSNA single engine aircraft. After open heart surgery I've decided to try Flight Simulators, I'am a new-bee at all of this, what I'm unsure about is how to install Microsoft Flight Sim programs on my HP Z400 computer. I don't want to be connected to the internet due to bad experiences with virus infections in the past, my question is, can I purchase FSX Steam on a disc to install on my computer ?
@steeleruk3 жыл бұрын
Hi Thom, FSX Steam version is only available via Steam itself, so you would definitely need the Internet connection. However you could still get a disk version of FSX from Ebay or maybe Amazon or perhaps you may have a local shop that sells new or used PC games. Keep in mind that Microsoft has now released their brilliant new version of Flight Simulator, which is far superior to FSX, but I believe you would again need an internet connection for that. Hope that helps, and hasn't just confused you lol :)

So I’m having difficulty getting the switch panel to actively turn the multi panel on and off I’m talking about the actual physical panel not in the airplane on the simulator but the actual physical saitek multi panel itself won’t go on and off when I turn the avionics switch off on the switch panel. Also now the radio panels are acting freaky I can’t go from standby the active so I don’t know what’s going on since I installed spad

Great video. Very handy and I enjoyed your earlier one on setting up FSUIPC. The best video I have seen. One problem I have with this reverse thrust video is that I have a Saitek double throttle quadrant and when I use buttons & switches in FSUIPC the reverse thrust works fine. However when i use reverse thrust the view immediately changes from my virtual cockpit view to the Outside/Spot view. Which is disconcerting when you're rolling down the runway. Have you struck this problem?

nice video. Question regarding the landing gear LED lights. When on ground the gear lights are green and they are always on great! but when you take off and retract the gear they go red, but then the colour red does not remain and goes off. How can I make the gear lights stay red during the flight is my question?
@RavensHammer004 жыл бұрын
In normal aircraft operation, the red LEDs indicate the gear are in transit, meaning when you raise the gear, the lights go red while the gear are moving to the stowed position, and the lights go out when the gear are fully stowed. When you lower the gear for landing, the lights turn red to indicate they are moving to the landing configuration, and will go green only when they are down and locked into position. Does this help you with your question? The red LEDs are only there to indicate the gear is in transit, so you know it's not safe to land until they are green. Hope this helps.
