    Re: I am having problems synching my 4 throttles for my 747 flight sim and elevator control doesn't have much up movement.

    You are asking wrong question? FSUIPC is part of FS2004. Question you are asking is - How does FS2Phidget know that FS2004 is running? When is FS2Phidget able to start communicating with FS2004? How does FS2Phidget communicate with FS2004? The creator of FSUIPC (IPC = Inter Process Communication) provides code to do all the neccessary. Are you starting FS2004 manually, or do you have script to start? Do you wait until FS2004 has fully started? i.e. wait until introductory screen is cleared, and scenary has been generated, etc, (this can take a few minutes). Was this working before at some point? Must have been working for you to have calibrated ailerons, etc.

    Re: I am having problems synching my 4 throttles for my 747 flight sim and elevator control doesn't have much up movement.

    Hi Thanks for the reply.

    yes i am starting fs2004 manually and starting fs2phidgets only after fs2004 is fully up ie after i have loaded a flight and the aircraft is on the runway ready for takeoff.

    Yes it worked once the day i installed it and then the next day whenj i went back to configure more controls etc, it will not connect to fs2004. I don't remeber changing any configs the day before only configured some controls and exited.

    I will give you a bit of the background on my problem.

    I have had my 747 sim running for atleast two years with no issues until late last year when my phidgets interface card 8/8/8 died.I sourced a new card from Australia which seemed to be the latest version.I was running fs2phidgets 3.2.2 and whever i plugged in this new card, it will detect the card and within seconds the fs2phidgets 3.2.2 app will just crash.it's then when i decided to try later vesions of fs2phidgets and see if that worked and tyried ver5.0... which seemed to be detecing the card fine and not crashing.I decided not to use ver 5.0.. because the look and feel was quite different from ver 3.22 therefore decided to go with ver 4.3.6.Fs2phidgets 4.3.6 worked fine for a day and the next day it will not connect to fs2004 no matter what i tried and it still isn't connecting.

    Hope this gives a better understanding of how i ended up in this situation.

    Hi guys, good news.It looks like I may have resolved the problem.today upgraded my fs2004 to fs9.1 and everything seems to be working fine. Will check tomorrow and see if it's still working,hopefully yes.
