I own the Jetliner yoke, pedals and the 737 throttle quad. I really like their products. Their email support could be better. I have asked how to like 2 Jetline yokes but never a reply. Posted it in there forum as well. At one time I was sure they had said they were going to sell a linked system. It just cant be that hard...
Drivers for their products work well in FS9 and FSX.
I sure would like to see them be a sponsor at Mycockpit.

Hold on there! You mean you don't get the gear LEDs flashing in FS2004? What version of PFC.DLL are you using? If it is 2.30, then that will have all the same stuff in as the 4.30 you are using with FSX. So that would certainly present us (me more than PFC I expect) with a puzzle.
There should be no differences between FS2004 and FSX causing such a change. Let me know about versions, please. Better include the FSUIPC versions in each case too.
Regards
Pete

I don't talk to people using old versions. (Honest, they are a real pain for developers, because it means things go undiscovered for too long. There's realy no way of supporting old code, and when things go wrong later, when folks HAVE to upgrade, there's no knowing why things go awry. Horrid!
FS9: PFC Driver 1.9, FSUIPC 3.50 (and it works perfect).
I can't really help, because I really cannot trace all the differences between 1.9 and 2.3 so I've no idea what specific bits your old firmware doesn't like. It seems you must either put up with it or get updated firmware.
Of course you could simply give up FSX and stick with FS9. That may be best, eh? After all, you stuck with FSUIPC 3.50 (!!!) which is many many versions out of date (it was released in August 2005). Why update FS?

Actually I do fly it most of the time with FS9 and that PC is only used for the PFC Console. Although occasionally I fly it using FSX and just ignore the flashing gear lights
BUT, you've got me curious, so I will probably install the latest greatest updates and see what happens. If I start seeing flashing lights, I'll revert
Thanks again for your help Pete

Pete,
I had to try... curiosity got the best of me
PFC DLL 2.3 and FSUIPC 3.82 and got flashing lights So I think it confirms your thoughts regarding it being a firmware issue. Thank you Pete
Now... is it worth the effort to try to get an firmware upgrade or just enjoy the occasional distracting flashing lights?
Regards,
Matt Olieman

After my last post I decided to see about getting a firmware upgrade. So, yesterday I wrote to PFC Tech support explained my problem and most likely being a firmware/software mismatch issue.
I'll keep you up to date what transpires If I get an upgrade or not, I'm still happy with the product, PFC makes excellent and quality products.

Just quick note and update.... Got e-mail form PFC Tech Support. I can get a firmware upgrade by replacing the chip for $100 plus shipping.
Let's see..... $100 or flashing landing lights..... hhhhmmmm... well, have to think about this a minute or two. LOL Most likely get the chip
