I tried a brand new throttle quadrant and it calibrated even worse than my old one. That is definitely the death for my Logitech controllers. Now I will have to begin looking for something new for the whole kit, but middle range prices as I wasn’t expecting to have to replace the lot

Yes that would seem the best option but may have to continue with current kit for now until budget allows a full replacement as changing yoke, pedals and throttles will be expensive

Thanks all. I have done some more testing and it would appear that the pots may be faulty. They are intermittent so seem to test correctly one time but are then jittery another time. I will do some more testing but feel like I am getting closer to the problem

I use a clear profile in MSFS so the controls are only configured in FSUIPC. Anything that is setup in FSUIPC is therefore not set in MSFS. I do have an alternative profile in MSFS that has everything configured when I want to test in game controls only or to check behaviour against the FSUIPC profile. I almost replaced some of the Logitech kit as I was sure it was faulty until I was able to see it was working correctly in Windows

Hi, I am using a Logitech yoke & throttle with an additional throttle quadrant but am having all sorts of issues getting precise or reliable control and I wondered if anyone else had similar problems? When I calibrate the device ms in Windows 11x, they all appear to work correctly. I tend to use FSUIPC7 but even when I use NSFS default controls inside the sim, I get problems. the issues are mainly with the throttle ms, reverse thrust or spoiler in that the sim controls are jumping around or my external move are not initially detected in game. The spoiler, especially seems to flicker in movement rather than stay set. This is especially common in the PMDG 737. The Pegasus become so bad that I thought my hardware was faulty but when I calibrate in FSUIPC without the sim running, they are detected perfectly. When I calibrate with MSFS running, it’s like the calibration numbers are all over the place and never hit the minimum/maximums. I am really confused as to what is going on and I am spending more time working on control settings than actually flying

Hi i am using nvidia 3090 and running Dell 24 inch monitors that go up to 166jz and are G-sync compatible

Hi all I have purchased 3 identical Dell monitors which go up to 165hz refresh. when setting up the nvidia surround I can choose a number of refresh rates between 50 -165hz. My MSFS is capped at 30FPS but I’m finding on average it’s between 20-25fps as I have ultra settings. Does the nvidia refresh affect anything and should I set the screens to 50hz or 165hz or somewhere in between, as I don’t know if it will make the game smoother or if there is no affect as fps is lower? thanks

Without any real information, all this video has achieved is to put the brakes on add-on sceneries! Who is going to invest money into MSFS 2020 if we dont know if it will be compatible with MSFS 2024? Which is perhaps, if you are a cynic, Microsofts plan. "oh look" they say, "Marketplace sales have gone through the floor and so we cannot afford to continue development for MSFS 2020. It is something we could not have predicted when we promised to support it for 10 year - but we will keep the servers on for a little bit longer until the spare change runs out".

Hi, Thanks for the info. I can see the button colour highlight if I select one of the switches on my throttle, but I am still unable to find the button numbers for when the lever is pushed to the zero position, as there is a separate assignment when the lever is pushed into the red zone?

Hi all I have a Logitech throttle which I am configuring in MSFS but having some issues. In Windows control panel the buttons show up numbered 1-24. In MSFS the buttons choices show as T1,T2, C1,C2 etc Is there a simple way to convert one setting to the other, as I have no idea which one to pick in the game? thanks

Thank you for the information on FSFO. I will certainly keep an eye for the upcoming changes, as it sounds like it’s heading in a good direction and could turn into a purchase for me. I am happy with AH2 but it sounds like FSFO may fill the gap, plus give me some help in the cockpit too. Finally, is it possible to add voice packs to FSFO, as the default voice sounds a bit unrealistic from what I’ve heard so far?

Thanks for the input so far. Personally I don’t think that APL is the right product for me. I am still a trainee pilot with limited time, so I like to have a certain amount of control over flights & distances, plus I would probably fail a number of the tests. AH2 isn’t quite so fussy as long as you can get the aircraft onto the ground safely. APL seems like it’s for the more experienced flyer. So I am looking at PACX or FSFO so far. Although FSFO looks very good, I’m not keen on having to buy different versions for each aircraft I want to use it with.

Is it possible to combine AH2 with PACX to get the best of both worlds, (AH2 to set the routing, then PACX to run a passenger flight) or can they only be run exclusively of each other?

Thanks for the info, but isn't this geared more towards checklists and cockpit flows?

Hi all, I am looking for something similar to Fspassengers which I enjoyed with FS9, but for MSFS. I currently use AirHauler2, which is a great program, but it does not cater for dealing with passenger numbers or inflight service etc.. Fspassengers had a simple financial model but it was also geared around your performance in the air. I have looked at PACX but the updates appear limited and the reviews are a little mixed. There is also 'A Pilots Life -v2' but this appears to be focussed around working for an airline and doing jobs, so the passengers bit is missing. Any suggestions for a good program, as it would be good to be a pilot but also feel like I am looking after a plane load of passengers at the same time?
