Revolution TQ setup Common Issues

[barkay]

Hello fellow simmers,

In my setup sessions with our dear friends it has come to my attention that the manuals sometimes are misinterpreted on certain issues and we seem to have made a mistake when identifying the TQ's as well.

Here are the two most common errors;

1 - On TQ calibration Manager for the two carded TQ's Please choose B737 Motorized instead of PROLINE. This PROLINE was specifically made for certain amount of throttles in the change phase therefore they only calibrate 5 TQ's in the world.

Make sure when you choose motorized all throttle axis disappear and two reverse axis stay. Then do the calibration as instructed on the manual.

2 - This is the most common misinterpretation of the manual.

When modifying you SIOC.ini file as mentioned in the manual there are two lines which one says

USBDCmotor=
ASBAnalogic=

To alter these lines first plug in your motor card to SIOC and read and note The last number given by your computer

It should read as

IDX=* USBDCMotor Device=xx

IDX Number for all TQ's MUST BE 1. This is due to your script is adjusted in such a way that SIOC will command this card as Device 1 inside the code and has nothing to do with you or your computer. Device definition o the other hand is n auto generated number by your computer which MUST be entered into the lines given above.

So they should read as;

USBDCmotor=1,xx
ASBAnalogic=1,xx

where xx is that number given in main SIOC screen when you first plugged in your computer.

I hope this helps.

I will be starting the most common issues page on our web site re-mentioning these two problems there as well very soon

Best Regards

Hi fellow simmers,

One of the other issues for our new throttle series is a misunderstanding or better yet miscommunication by us regarding TQ CALIBRATION SOFTWARE.

First of all you do not need to calibrate your TQ's unless it is necessary due to malfunction that can be identified by us. All you need to do is to plug them and run the correct software for your system i.e. PM, PMDG, SimAvionics, standard etc.

ALL PROSIM USERS MUST USE PM...

Calibration is needed if there is a malfunction and we should identify it. Your card comes preloaded with necessary adjustments done by us during testing. DO NOT PLAY WITH THAT...PLEASE.

Nevertheless for the nasty ones that can not do without touching,

There is an option B737 PROLINE as well as the others. This PROLINE part is only done for 10 of our customers which are using the mid generation products. It will not work with new ordered PROLINE series. You have to choose B737 Motorized for your TQ to work correctly.

Just wanted to clarify this point for everyone.

Sorry for miscommunication

Regards

Hello fellow simmers,

Since the Windows 7 distribution it has come to our attention that some of our customers are having issue with Revolution TQ Manager cards creating weird sounds and being disconnected and reconnected by the system causing ignorant sounds as well as some problems.

We have looked into the problem and came up with a checklist for this problem.

We are not guaranteeing that it wil work in all systems as the config of the systems vary so much from each other but they helped us to solve the problem in a couple of systems.

I hope this helps

Hoped to find this issue in the FAQ to and hope you can help me out soon to get it running 100%

Hello,

Did you run the necessary TQ manager program based on your Glass cockpit software? If you run the default for eaxmple it will not work on PROSIM. Those programs MUST be running for the buttons and some axis to work. Please drop us an e mail to explin the problem.

Hello again fellow simmers,

New FAQ page is added regarding the speed problems for your TQ's. With the new script for PM and PROSIM only for now you can change the speed values of your throttle levers, speed brake levers, trim wheels. Do not forget to backup your old files in case something goes wrong.
