Hi all.Does anyone know of any developers that are working on creating a freeware alternative to FSUIPC?I guess the developer of FSUIPC has his motives to make his product shareware and it is not for me to judge him.I have multiple throttles which I have just spent ages making (mainly because I couldn't afford to purchase any) and now I find that I cannot use them to create a simple reverse-thrust in FS2004, as this part of the FSUIPC program has been locked down.I was hoping that in amongst all of the brilliant programmers out there, someone might be able to come up with a freeware program. maybe this posting might enspire someone to have a go...I am sure there would be many people who would be grateful.regardsdaryl

Hello!Have a look at http://www.flightdecksoftware.com/index.phpHere you will find FDSWideConnection v1.1 & FDSScanFS v1.1!This should do the same as FSUIPC and WideFS and is FREEWARE!Happy Landings & Always Three Greens!Christian

What Christian is referring to is the standard interface that is common to both the freeware version of FSUIPC and the new module that does the same thing. So that part of it is free, and doesn't do anything to help with this.I don't think there is currently any freeware alternative to most of the more complex facilities offered by FSUIPC, in its registered version, although bits and pieces might be covered by other software.

The help is appreciated guys, thanks!I presume there are many people who have multiple throttle setups (either home made or purchased) and are using them with FS2004. Does anyone know what they are doing? surely there are some in my situation, that just cannot afford to purchase FSUIPC, are they just not worrying about reverse thrust??daryl

Hi Daryl,""Does anyone know what they are doing? surely there are some in my situation, that just cannot afford to purchase FSUIPC, are they just not worrying about reverse thrust??""I have exactly the same issue as you.What I did: don't use reverse on the axis for now, and use a button (F2-function) on the throttles.Awaiting better times ...:-) ..Rob

Hi RobIf your flying a twin, do both reverse thrusts activate on the one button?I tried this scenario, and could only get the left engine to reverse.Daryl
