LOL Careful Bob. What ever follows you home will require an explanation.

[Bob Reed]

Um........ No idea dear!! Can I keep it?? I will take care of it!!

Yes? Mike, what is the question? On my way to pick up my drill press. Just a little one but a huge step for me. Who know what else might follow me home?? heheheh

Humm. I forgot Bob. Brain fart

Nice work

Hi guys... And before I start.. There will be pics by Monday! My Throttle has arrived! I am almost done installing it. Axis are all programed, what a job that was to get them all to work. Still not 100% on the throttles.. More perciesly the reverses. Number 2 works as it should, number 1 I have to advance the lever a smidge to get it to go back to idle. Speed brakes and flaps are GREAT! Actually having a bit of trouble with the buttons. Finding all the right offsets. They are there just not what you would think and I have never tried to do offsets from within FSUIPC before. Center council is already to be painted Grey and I will do the forward avionics bay next week. Also will get the last piece of floor in and move the "desk" outside of the sim. I have the toner for my laser color printer on the way so I think next week I will start on the over head.. So things are going nicely. And yes Trevor, I think we can get your throttles to stop what they are doing. I got mine to stop.

Hi Bob - my TQ does exactly the same thing re: the reversers. Take a look at throttle 1 in FSUIPC interface and see if it's noisy (jittery digital values). Mine is and this is why FSUIPC believes that that throttle 1 is not at idle and will therefore not engage reverse. I'm planning to replace the pot one rainy day ... but wondering now if there is some other systemic problem?

[Trevor Hale]

I can only hope that with the new Plazma card, I will be able to synchronize the throttles.

If not. I will make the plunge and buy simboards to do it.

Well Trevor.. First off, are the real ones synced? I mean we are looking for real, right? I mean if you want them all synced, just hit the sync button. And don't add all the pots..... Now I do have the reverses working right. Took some work and slight edit to the FSUIPC.ini file.... The TQ is all in and programed... So I am now working on the center council. Whew... Looking good.

Once again after a number of days of working on the sim.. There are more picture. I will be posting more tonight after a shoot a few with the sim running. http://www.mycockpit.org/photopost/s...imit=last1&cat= Enjoy!!

Hi Bob - what FSUIPC setting fixed the TQ? I was thinking to manually change the idle value a bit above minimum on the pot.
