    FS2Phidgets working but FSUIPC can't see it

    I have FS2Phidgets up and going, got flaps, spoiler throttles etc working and setup.

    When I go into FSX / FSUIPC does not recognise or react to anything EXCEPT the throttles actually work. In spite of FSUIPC not "seeing" anything.

    Any suggestions / assistance greatly appreciated.

    Re: FS2Phidgets working but FSUIPC can't see it

    It has been my experience (Alan can confirm/deny) that the actual FSUIPC in FSX does not recognize phidgets cards as an input. Therefore, set everything in FS2P and dont bother with the in game FSUIPC settings. I have never touched any settings in FSUIPC and mine works perfectly fine.
    I'm not replicating anything, because I like to fly everything.

    Geoff, are you in Tucson now?

    Re: FS2Phidgets working but FSUIPC can't see it

    OK - so excuse my dumbness here. I should be able to setup my TQ which is phidgets, using ONLY the FS2Phidgets software - NO FSUIPC required? If the answer is yes then I can't understand what I've got wrong.

    Could I bother you for your .ini file(s) so I can make a comparison with what I'm doing?

    Thanks very much for you reply and any further assistance greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Tony

    Just in case it jumps out at anyone what I'm doing wrong please find below the contents of the .ini file I'm using - remembering ONLY the throttles work.

    Kind regards

    Re: FS2Phidgets working but FSUIPC can't see it

    I know nothing at all about Phidgets or your scripts, but if the offsets listed in them are intended to be those to control what it says, then only the throttle and parking brake offsets are correct. Those throttle offsets are for direct control.

    Offsets 3412 and 3414 are read-outs of axis values, not controls.

    341A is correct for connecting or disconnecting brake, flaps and spoiler axes. I've no idea what it is being used for here.

    Where are you getting your information on these from? The only correct reference is the offsets list in the FSUIPC SDK.

    Re: FS2Phidgets working but FSUIPC can't see it

    I now live in tucson yes.

    I did some experimenting for ya. I took one of my mixture levers and assigned it to the SPOILER_HANDLE and it worked fine, might need some fine tuning and tweaking, but the spoilers did move.

    Drove thru Tucson on Friday. Got stuck in I-10 back-up due to that jack-knifed big rig at Star Pass Dr.

    Thanks for the reply Pete

    I am using the Offset list from the SDK as a reference and only now is the fog lifting on some offsets being "controls" and others being values to be picked up

    Slowly getting there still.

    Kind regards
    Tony
