Hi I'm new to the Jetstream having flown PMDG 'heavy metal' for a few years.It has installed and runs perfectly on my system, I've even managed to start the engines!The only problem I have so far is that during taxy out I check the TOCWS using the test switch on the right panel - all ok, but when I apply take-off power the warning horn sounds and the red cap 'Config' illuminates.I've checked the 7 items that trigger the warning, all seems normal:Condition levers are fully forwardSpoilers appear to be retracted (is there any way to check this other than visually?)Spoiler control switch is onElevator trim is mid green rangePark brake is offFlaps 9 setGust lock disengagedThere are no CAP warnings and the take-off and climb are normal.The warning stops at lift-off.Any ideas as to what it could be?Very pleased with the simulation, especially the sound effects!Thanks, Chris G , Switzerland

Full name please, Chris.The warning should stop when nose wheel lifts (AOM pg 22). Use the Shift (or Ctrl) + F4 to make sure the condition lever is in flight and RPM is 100%. I think a 1-3% loss of RPM will cause the alarm. Don't know why the button is quiet but advancing power creates an alarm.Spoiler check is visual, there is a mechanical down lock underneath.

Are you pushing the condition levers fully forward before arming the spoilers?

Thanks for the replies, I found the solution - condition levers not fully forward.I'm new to FSUIPC (and the intricacies of turboprops!) and need to do some calibrating and programming.Are there any recommendations/values for programming realistic settings for the condition levers? I'm using the CH throttle quadrant.Chris Garrod

Hi Chris, I recently asked the same question and the answer "prop pitch axis for the condition levers" works fine for me. You can see more answers to this question and more detailed in this post.

Thanks again for the tips, I've programmed FSUIPC and now get correct movement of the condition levers and throttles, no more warnings on take-off. I also get reverse thrust so can taxy backwards, now that's a new experience!Chris Garrod
