To Bob Church re: FSUIPC

[Howard]

Bob,

After calibrating the controllers in Control Manager, should we still calibrate them within the FSUIPC module while in Map mode?

Also Bob, I assume that the "shift" button feature will function as always with the Throttle Quadrant. I know I shouldn't assume. ;)

One more Bob. Wil the current version of CMFS (1.20) support the new Throttle Quadrant?

And, do you have a sample Map that incorporates the Throttle Quadrant? I would really like to some examples of how the buttons are assigned.

Sorry Michael, you're permitted to jump in too. ;)

Hope all is good with you.

Thanks,
Howard

Hi Howard,

>> After calibrating the controllers in Control Manager, should we still calibrate them within the FSUIPC module while in Map mode? <<

You can if you you need to. FSUIPC only plays with the way FS sees the values, it doesn&#39;t actually affect the calibration itself, so there&#39;s no problem. It&#39;s Windows calibration that could mess things up, but with the CM having it&#39;s own calibration applet now that&#39;s not really a problem.

>> Also Bob, I assume that the "shift" button feature will function as always with the Throttle Quadrant. I know I shouldn&#39;t assume. <<

The shift and modes, etc. should all work just fine. The CM treats all the devices pretty much the same, a few differences with the TQ to deal with the detent, but otherwise it&#39;s just more axes and buttons.

>> One more Bob. Wil the current version of CMFS (1.20) support the new Throttle Quadrant? <<

Yes. Actually, that was what 1.20 was. Except for the TQ, it&#39;s just the same as 1.10. Your devices.cfg file doesn&#39;t need to change as a result of the update, really, except you&#39;ll probably want to make default assignments for the TQ. If you&#39;re not using the TQ, you don&#39;t really need to rebuild Device.cfg again just because you updated to 3.50.

>> And, do you have a sample Map that incorporates the Throttle Quadrant? I would really like to some examples of how the buttons are assigned. <<

No, not really. Just the info I posted on my site in CMNOTE02.ZIP. Was there some specific thing you wanted to do, or just looking for a general purpose thing?

>> Hope all is good with you. <<

Thanks, Howard! I hope things are well at your end, too!

Best regards,

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your, as usual, quick reply.

I guess I just would like to see a Map which includes assignments to the new Throttle Quadrant.

Best,
Howard
