The 777 fails to respond to my CH FlightSim Yoke – no movement at all.

 

As instructed in the 777 Introduction, I’m using FSUIPC to assign buttons and calibrate my CH FlightSim Yoke and CH Pro Pedals, but have assigned all axes through FSX (SE).  Just to make sure, I deleted FSUIPC.ini and allowed it to regenerate, to purge any problems from having previously assigned axes in FSUIPC.  Doing this had no impact that I could see. 

 

 

The yoke works fine in the PMDG 737NGX, but NOT in the PMDG 777.  And on the 777, it’s ONLY the yoke that does not respond - the buttons on the yoke work fine.  Windows recognizes the yoke – if I go into FSUIPC from the 777 cockpit, all yoke movements are detected.  But once I come back to the cockpit, the yoke just sits there. 

 

An ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks!

You mean visually?

 

If so, as also noted in the Intro Manual, the yoke won't move if it's in the "stowed" or down position.

Ignore the yoke for one second and focus on either the lower eicas with the control movements page, or go outside the plane and check the elevators etc. Are they showing it's working?

Thanks to you both -- I'll check both angles as soon as I get back home!  

Kyle and Chris, 

 

Many thanks again to you both.  You were both right -- Kyle that the yoke was stowed (a page in the manual I obviously skipped over) and Chris that the elevators and ailerons were moving nonetheless.  

Glad to hear it. Enjoy!
