The P3D controller  EXPORT and IMPORT feature is specifically what I am referring to. 

Ah, that's excellent news.  I'm going to give that a try.  Have never been able to get FSUIPC to play well using the "send to FS as normal axis" parameters - mixture won't behave properly even on P3D4 default aircraft - so that's really not an option.

Does P3D controller import/export allow the use of different controllers (such as yoke and joystick)?  Or would that be pushing the limit?  OK if so - I agree completely with you about keeping it simple, and if I have to throw a controller overboard, I will.  I'll start experimenting with it now.  Thanks for opening the door.

Please note that mixture for the DC6 is not an axis.  Each mixture has three values:  Auto Rich, Auto Lean and Off.... don't even try assigning a mixture axis.

Thanks, understood.  I wasn't clear - I was referring to past problems I've had, not to anything specific to the DC-6.  Clearly PMDG is handling mixture differently than A2A (in the Connie, Strat and B-17) and the Manfred Jahn team (in the C-47 v3) - in all those cases, Auto Rich, Auto Lean and Cutoff are ranges within an axis.  The levers "snap to" the detent when they're within range.  Had originally been expecting something similar for the DC-6 but if not, then not.  I'll make sure there's no mixture axis in the DC-6 profile.

So ... to pick up on my initial issue with AFE causing stutter in "Cruise" mode.....

I now tried to disable FSUIPC all together and set all axis and buttons via P3D's own controller setup menu, I still get stutter, so something in AFE "Cruise" mode seems to cause this, and it seems not to be FSUIPC.

Next thing,which I cannot detect, is if it´s casued by the AFE to "flood" P3D with input commands. The stutter does not start before being in "Cruise" mod for a couple of minutes, but thereafter it will happen right after having turned "Cruise" mode off and then on again.

Do others see this too - or is it "just" me ?

I also have the same issue with the stuttering. It seems to happen anytime I enable the AFE for anything. I have FSUIPC but don't have anything programmed on it. Bought it years ago but don't really use it.

Same here. I have no calibrations made via FSUIPC, but everytime i start AFE i've got this stutters... not only the Mouse Cursor, every Gauge flashs 5 time/sec...

Hi guys, any update on this?

In another thread, somebody solved it by undocking the green AFE bar that says what step he's at. I think also disabling this green message bar also worked.

Tried, that, didn't seem to help all that much. Got so bad at one point, FSX ended up crashing. This is definitely a show stopper for me.

Hmmm not a PMDG dll. Have you had a look at Avsim's CTD guide?

This is the first time I have ever seen this fault. I will look into. Still trying to figure out how to fix the stuttering when using the AFE.

Hi all,

I have also had this crash with the problem viewer showing the ai_player.dll. 

This appears to be happening only when I have the VFE enabled.
