I wouldn't give up, it really is a different beast even if just with the yoke mapped.  I'll post up my config file when I finish it (hopefully tonight), then it will be a drag and drop.

Thanks but i dont understand what you meen by "just the yoke mapped".

 

Right now my situation is a SAITEK Yoke , A Trottletek 737 thrust unit and SAITEK rudderpedals,

 

So far they all "work"

By default, the Q400 Pro relies on FSX/P3D feeding it control data, using this config edit allows it to work with the joystick outside the confines of FSX (hence why they can poll at 125hz).

 

There is no reason everything has to come through FSX, or everything through the alternate method.  Right now, my yoke comes through the Q400 specific interface, whilst FSX provides the data from my pedals and my throttles.  As far as I'm concerned, they all "work", i.e. I can use them all to fly the aircraft.

 

When I say I can't get my rudder to work yet, all that means is I've reset it to be handled by P3D (just like it was in the Pilot edition), not that I'm not able to use it.

The bits I changed were:

 

 

My suggested changes in bold.  

 

This assumes only a yoke and the only button explicitly mapped is the AP Disengage which maps to the right hand button on a Saitek Yoke.  The pedals will still be dealt with by FSX (I haven't got my pedals to work, but will try again tonight).  If you find that the Elevator is inverted, remove the axis assignment from the above and use the following line which has a minus after the equals:

 

J0_Y=-FlightControls_->sensors.Elevator0_ADC

 

For me, my yoke worked fine as J0, but if you get stuck, in FSUIPC, go to axis assignment and click rescan.  Move your yoke and it should detect the axis.  Look at the joystick number (probably 0).  If it isn't 0, simply change J0 to J{Number shown in FSUIPC}.

 

That's as far as I've got, if I get my rudder working I'll report back.  They really need to make a config utility for this....

To get the rudder working use J2_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC

To get the rudder working use J2_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC

 

I'll give that a shot, thanks!  Think my Rudder is J1, based on FSUIPC, but it took so long to get anything to work (the aforementioned re-loading issue) that I gave up and went to bed....

What is the advantage to configute the controls through the Q400 interface rather than FSUIPC? I have my Saitek Yoke setup in FSUIPC and it works fine with the Q400. So where is the benefit?

What is the advantage to configute the controls through the Q400 interface rather than FSUIPC? I have my Saitek Yoke setup in FSUIPC and it works fine with the Q400. So where is the benefit?

The benefit is smoother controls because its by passing fsx's polling which operates at a lower frequency. I use the majestic control option for my ele, ail and rud. Everything else goes thru fsuipc

 

 

To get the rudder working use J2_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC

 

Thanks, a quick adjustment to J1 and that worked!

Michael,

 

Now that I've got a working file, I might as well post the whole thing here so you can try it if the instructions are a bit much. Bold and sizing are just so you can see what I edited, they won't be saved in the INI, so you could just copy and paste this into the file as a whole (backing it up first of course!)

 

Everything not in bold is default, so there should be no reason you can't just take the below.

The above was for the following hardware

• Saitek Yoke & Quadrant (J0 in the INI)
• Saitek Rudder Pedal (J1 in the INI)

In theory it should work for any yoke/pedal combination, though you may need to work out the ID number of the joystick.  To do this either:

• Look in the "USB Game Controllers" page in Control Panel and 0 will be the top controller in the list, then 1, 2, 3 etc.. (the way the manual says)
• Open up the paid version of FSUIPC and click on "Axis Assignment".  Click on "Rescan" and move the yoke, the controller number will appear in the box labelled Joy#.  Click rescan and repeat for the rudder

 

Hope the above is useful for someone!

 

 

 

 

Thanks, a quick adjustment to J1 and that worked!

Thanks alot  :wink:

 

 

But i cannot get the rudder to work . Its jammed to the right . Any ideer ? :wink: I have it set as Z because RZ does not work . The control panel seems ok under rudder settings

 

 

Update : its from a saved flight . Maybe this is causing rudder to behave bad

 

Its 26 click to left on the pedestal and it does not react to commands with A/P off or on

 

 

Update 2 ; nope does not move with a normal flight as well

Ok, so if it's the rudder only, we are dealing with the following line in the INI:

J1_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC 

A few possibilities spring to mind.

 

1.  Another controller is in position 1, possibly a throttle quadrant?  This seems likely as by assigning another axis you get a response (even if it's not the one you want). With your current version, try moving your other axes in turn (including throttle quadrant and brake axis).  If you find that any of the axes that aren't on the pedals give a response on the rudder (or if you get no response at all), try the following:

J2_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC 

2.  If you get a response from an axis on the rudder pedals, there is also the possibility that your rudder axis is not Rz (though this is less likely).  The possible values (from the manual) are listed below, you just have to try them one after another (re-loading the whole shebang each time unfortunately, or you are likely to find that nothing at all works)

X
Y
Z
Rx
Ry
Rz
Ax
Ay

3. If all that fails, use my original file and find the following line:

RuddersByFSX=0

 

and replace it with

RuddersByFSX=1

That will restore your previous rudder settings, so at least you can fly it with the yoke set up, until Majestic (hopefully!) come out with a config tool...

 

Amazing work , thanks a lot..

 

When you use your twist on your joystick as rudder remember to set the same number as the Elevator and Aileron, in my case it will be like this ;

 

J0_Rz=FlightControls_->sensors.Rudder0_ADC

 

Have done some adjustment to the engine control (IDLE & DETENT) and removed the AP disengage button (J0_b1=AFCS_->inputs.AP_disengage) The Ap disengage button is mapped with the FSUPIC 

 

Here is my INI optimized for use with Saitek X52 Pro:

 

Edit: Update with new engine control setting.

One quick question: Axis assignments in both P3D itself and FSUIPC have to be deleted (for aileron, elevator and rudder) if I want to use that Q400's own control interface as described above, right?

Hi

 

I am using P3DV3 and have just downloaded and installed the Dash 8 pro to my main P3D root file.

 

I then went to follow the P3DV3 beta patch, as shown here

 

2.  Very Critical Step!!!
There is an alternate .dll (mjc84_main.dll.p3dv3beta) which has been supplied for the Beta testing purposes specifically for users of P3D v3 which is located in your PANEL Folder.  Please ensure to re-name the default/original .dll to something like mjc84_main.dll.original, and re-name the supplied .dll to mjc84_main.dll.

 

 

but I cannot find the PANEL folder, and when I search for the .dll, nothing comes up.

 

What am I doing wrong and where should I be looking for the PANEL folder?
