Re: What Software For TQ ?
Dave,
Try the following... Its been configured to expect the reverser microswitches on digital input 0 and 1 of your phidgets card..
Cheers

Re: What Software For TQ ?
I installed as you wrote it but spoilers and trhust reversers did not work, I the assigned spoilers to sensor input zero and they worked and assigned thrust rev 1 to digital input 2 and thrust rev 2 to digital input 3 as that is the way they are regonized by the phidgets card .......they work but backwards....that is when the rev handles are down (off) the reversers are on, and vice versa, when handles re pulled up the reversers go off.

Re: What Software For TQ ?
Hi Dave,
Im not sure how to further assist. I tried this config on my simulator, and it works fine.. I normally use pots for the reversers, but i modified DIGITAL_INPUT_0 to
[DIGITAL_INPUT_0]
OFFSET=089A
LENGTH=2
ONVALUE=-4094
which is my TOGA button to test. And hitting the TOGA kicks off the REV thrusters in FSX with no problems...
May i suggest you look at using the phidget test software to ensure that the buttons are being fired correctly when you engage the reversers in your TQ...
Im not sure what else it could be..
Regards
Diego

Re: What Software For TQ ?
The Phidgets test software was the one I used to find out which digital input had been assigned each number, that's how I knew it was digital input 2 and 3. Is there a way to invert? Dave

Re: What Software For TQ ?
Your right, the program does not work by applying an off value, no thrusters at all, and the reversers still operate backwards. Diego thanks for the effort, I really appreciate it...guess I'll fly with the handles up, at least when put down the reversers work. Always My Best Dave
