MD11 ABS problem

[Jason_Peters 16]

No, that was a fluke. If you read further, I went back and checked the throttle calibration. In fact I re-calibrated just for testing leaving a huge area for the idle range just to be safe. Still no workie.And, again my 744, and a bunch of other add on's work just fine.-Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

Probably it is not a problem of calibration of our pedals but something in the programmation of the aircraft itself.Am I wrong?Best WishesLorenzo Chiovaro

Not sure. Just have to let the PMDG fellas' take a look, and let us know.I'm no expert on what goes on under the hood of a simulated bird... pretty smart on a real aircraft though. Occupational hazard. ;)I'm satisfied that it's not a configuration issue on my end. It seems to be isolated just to the MD-11. Not to mention, I've triple quadrouple, double checked the related calibrations, and settings. :-lol-Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

This problem is not isolated to the MD-11! We have it with the 747X and it still hasn't been fixed.

Whoa, easy there turbo...I don't speak for anyone but myself, and for me it's isolated to the MD-11. At no time did I speak for any set up other than mine. -Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

Jason, I apologise. I admit I didn't read your post properly and jumped the gun. However it's just frustrating for everyone I'm sure, when there are problems with previous products that don't appear to be getting any attention from the developers. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Um Guys, im not sure but if your willing to try, try deleting your FSUIPC.ini file (back it up first), then start flightsim and try if the ABS works this time

[Jason_Peters 16]

Hey, thanks. No hard feelings at all. :)I agree the problems are frustrating, but remember PMDG is only a few great developers who do this on the side. I'm am sure they are giving this as much attention as they can. But, there are endless combinations of user systems, and only so much they can do to attempt to reproduce the problem. I am sure they will come up with a solution in due time. Paitence is key here. Remember, Autobrakes aren't a no-go item on your MEL (minimum equipment list) You should continue to fly the aircraft without this convienient feature, until ramp fellas can get her fixed up. ;-) -Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

Bryan,Unfourtunetly, I'm not even using FSUIPC on my rig. I haven't found a need for it, since the switch to FSX.Great program though!

[Jason_Peters 16]

Thats correct, and I'm sure the PMDG fella's will chime in here to verify. It is my understanding that both of the FSX products do not require FSUIPC and were designed to not require it's use. In fact many FSX products do not require it as, Microsoft created the SimConnect .dll to perform the interface function that FSUIPC did for us in the earlier versions of the sim.Again, this is all just my understanding from being around this hobby for a number of years. I'm sure the PMDG guys will elaborate. :)-Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

Hi Jason,You are right, FSUIPC is not needed for FSX. But it's very usefull to get off of the "windproblems" in FSX. It is also very usefull for programming buttons on hardware modules. I'm glad that I bought it and it "solved" a lot of these winddrifts.Best regards,PeterFlightsimulator is not a simulation, it's a way of life ....

[Guest lorenz88]

Yes, keep flying and we hope that Stuff will solve this problem soon.Best RegardsLorenzo Chiovaro

[Jason_Peters 16]

I agree it can be usefull for a few things. As far as wind problems, specifically in regards to smoothing. ActiveSky does a wonderful job with smoothing the winds. So again no FSUIPC required over here. :)However if it ends up being identified by PMDG as the solution to our autobrake woes, I will end up purchasing again.(Nice how I brought us right back on topic with that last part huh? ;-) )-Jason Peters E-3B/C AWACS Flight Engineer USAF (Former B-52H Crew Chief)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg
