Problem with Gear Lever

Featured Replies

Seems that the cockpit is not displaying what is actually happening. I have a two way rocker button set up through FSUIPC to raise/lower the gear. It sounds like it is doing what it is suppose to but the gear handle does not move in the cockpit. Try grabbing it and it wont come up. Hit the G key and up it pops. Can then grab it and bring it to centre okay. Gear down same thing, sounds like gear going down but no action on the handle. Cant move it via mouse but G again and the handle pops down. FSUIPC is sending the Gear_Up and Gear_Down commands and works a charm with all the other planes so far including the 74X.

It is recommended to not use commands configurated through FSUIPC. Either use the Hardware Programming software or use the Default FSX Controls menu. I also had problems when my spoiler-lever and toebrakes were setup through FSUIPC. Now since I have them setup through FSX, everything just works fine. I know, it sucks a bit but maybe it is something cured in the next SP. I don't know.

If you read the docs it says that using FSUIPC is fine. Just dont calibrate your axis through them. My controls are working fine just the gear lever not working right given the command sent to it. My toe brakes and spoilers work 100% through it. No way I am going back to FSX controlling the axis. It suxs.

You state "Dont assign axis through them." Aren't your toe brakes and spoilers axes either? Because at my system they are, and they didn't work. No clue at the two way rocker I am afraid.

Well, I posted in a similar thread here in the forum about this.When using a pfc throttle quadrant, you can assign the gear coimmand to the gear lever on the throttle trhough fsuipc.Since the gear lever is not an axis, it works just fine.5by the way, on the pmdg MD_11, the third main gear would also not move when using the pfc throttle. One had to assign the fs command to the lever to work properly) luc BrusselmansBelgium

I said the manual suggests not CALIBRATING the axis through FSUIPC. It did not say don't use them.
