For anyone interested into throttle quadrant review, I got the PFC throttle quadrant and reviewed it. As usual with some nice pictures and videos.

 

Located here.

Hi Word Not Allowed After reading your review on the PFC CIRRUS yoke, I ordered one and also the throttle quadrant, with 4 engine throttle

setup...and everything was shipped via UPS and arrived here on friday, so I set it up and you are correct all items have a great feel

and are very well built..and look great

 

Now the problem I am having is in the setup... ..I have read all of the FSUIPC documents until my eyes started to bleed...and I

still cannot set the axsis and switches and buttons...the throttles are the biggest pain..I just cannot get the results right,

 

I would like to set the reverser...the same way you did...as well as program everything through FSUIPC for the yoke as well

as the trottle quadrant,

 

Is there some way I can get your method..of how you set yours up...a complete step by step narative,

 

At the young age of 75..I am losing my ability to comprehend 50 pages of do this,..but beware of that

,

I know I am asking a lot but...

 

Your help would be most appreciated

 

Best Regards

Uhhhh...... I know what you mean with eyes-bleeding after reading FSUIPC documents. It's worse than reading fuel systems on the concorde. LOL.

 

I worked a long long time to set up everything over FSUIPC, and let me tell you one thing, it's all but simple. But rewarding in the end, especially when changing setups.

 

Writing it all down would be a real drag.

 

Today I'll be half home, so maybe we could do a short teamspeak session on the AVSIM server, but if not, you can as well ask me here what you want to do exactly. Step by step.

Hi Word Not Allowed, ok ,I see what you mean by writing it down..would be as bad as reading the FSUIPC docs,

 

I wonder if you would be able to post the individual pages of your FSUIPC..So I can go by that,

 

Also did you first install the PFCFX.DLL from Peter Dowson ? and did you use that at all for your setup,

 

The biggest problem I have is setting the axis assingnments and the joystick calibrations...as the nubers bounce all

over the place ..and I do not know which is proper for the up side and the downside,and dead zone numbers,

 

I thought if I could see your pages it would give me a head start..or an idea of one...also how you treated the reverse lever,

 

,

gear lever,spoiler lever...if they are treated as buttons or levers ..and are they calibrated as well,

 

Another question is ...did you or do you make them- aircraft-specific...as I have the 737X--747X---MD11 all by PMDG,

 

and if so what changes have to be made,

 

I realize I am a big pain....you know where...but I am stuck ..not knowing the answers from above,

 

many thanks and

able to post the individual pages of your FSUIPC..So I can go by that,

 

Sure, no problem. It will only help you half though, as I would have to screenshot every single axis and button I configured, and there are many. Not gonna do that.

 

Yes, the DLL is in my modules folder. No, not used. Only placed it into dll folder. That should be done like that AFAIK.

 

Hard to do a shot... you'll have to wait until I have the setup ready for flying, otherwise I can't call the axis in the FSUIPC.

 

Easier would be to do it via Teamspeak.

 

Another question is ...did you or do you make them- aircraft-specific...as I have the 737X--747X---MD11 all by PMDG,

 

I have various configs, yes. Basically a profile for each aircraft.

Hi Word Not Allowed

In the meantime..I found a great tutorial on how to use the FSUIPC ...and what does what....without me reading and trying to figuire out

what to do and what not to do, it also explains in plain english and bold print,

 

This will alow me to read (on my second computor ..where I have AS2012,Flight sim commander,etc)...and work on setting up FSUIPC,

On the main computor,

 

So hold on....doing anything ....until I get back to you..via this topic, and I appreciate your comments so far and the great reviews you

have done to date,

 

If I get hung up on something...I will come back to you with the questions,

 

Many Thanks and

Best Regards

Yeah, no problem, just shoot if you have questions...

 

If you want shots, shoot me over an email, I'll gladly email them, as it's easier than attaching each single onto forums.

Hi Word Not Allowed

 

Yes, I would like to send an e-mail.....however...like a dummy I can not find your e-mail address,

 

I know it should be obvious..but...

You purchased the PFC Two Engined Jet Enhanced correct? May I ask what was the primary factor(s) that lead you to pick the PFC TQ over the GF TQ? The PFC TQ costs $595 and the GF TQ costs $600 unless you prefer the TQ6 which costs $420 and can be configured for single engine prop, twin engine prop, two, three, or four engine jet. The GF TQ6 seems to provide the most flexible option.

Hi Word Not Allowed

 

I am afraid I still do not have your e-mail address.....if I click on your picture for your profile.. it says it is out of date,

 

Can you explain click on the spoiler,

 

Many Thanks

 

Best Regards

Don Nelson

Well, if you held once the TQ6(-Adv), you would understand.

The PFC offers the same firm quality build like their yoke, something I really came to appreciate with the PFC.

Trust me on that one, and if you want to discuss into detail, please contact me via email, I don't want to discuss GF product on the PFC thread.

No, not interested in a discussion or debate. Just researching information before moving toward a purchase. Since this is the hardware section I took it that the question would be acceptable to ask. It is your thread, my apology then, thank you.
