OK, it took a while (due to FSAUDIO.dll issues, which I resolved by updating my DirectX, as per the TM FAQ) but now I have the latest TM732 version, with widescreen.

 

I am really surprised to find that the panel is completely different now, with a 'modern' autopilot, not at all like the earlier versions (a shame in a way, as I liked operating the vertical navigation through the joystick!). Even more surprising, the X52 now operates the flaps perfectly, even though I hadn't been able to do any more in FSUIPC! That's great.

 

So much the better. I can get down to some proper flights now!

 

Thanks Peter for the input, especially the heads up about newer versions - I hadn't even realised I had an older one installed.

Excellent, it is a lovely aircraft to fly. Have you got the CIVA INS installed ?

Yes, I have.

(I see I have selected the SP-177 version of the panel: I could try a different version at some stage to get the old style AP back of course, though I don't want to mess things up with the joystick now)...

I don't think that changing the AP will mess up your flight stick behaviour, so go for it!
