Hi Guys,

I to am and still a supporter of Chris and love my Yoke..All my experiencs  have been excellent and i will also order a TQ when available.

Does anyone know why Chris didnt use Kickstarter,would have aleviated a lot of his problems.

Chris did use kickstarter for the throttle. Unfortunately, it didn't get funded.

I checked my sim and noticed that the Enhanced version of the free A310 wasn't installed. I installed it and the sim didn't crash when loading into KLAX. I also tried the new OMDB and no CTD either. Weird.

Hi guys,

My MSFS has started to CTD all of a sudden consistently while loading into iniBuilds's KLAX. The exception code is 0xc0000005 The things that I installed last are as follows:

- iniBuilds GSX profiles (BTW, I didn't install the GSX file for KLAX since iniBuilds never releaed one).

- Frame generation mod (I've since removed it). 

I've checked the integrity of files using Steam, which caused MSFS to reinstall about 130GB of file. Once everything was installed, I tried loading into KLAX. CTD after a few seconds of the loading screen just like before. I then uninstalled GSX and all the profiles. Then I uninstalled iniBuilds KLAX and installed the Asobo version. The sim loaded fine into the default KLAX. Finally, I reinstalled iniBuilds KLAX. The sim crashed again at the same spot, during the loading screen into the airport. I then tried iniBuilds KJFK, the sim loaded fine.

I'm very puzzled why my MSFS is behaving this way. Do you all know what can be causing the CTD?

Finally, what is the best procedure to uninstall and reinstall MSFS (Steam version)?

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I'm in the same situation. I'm on my 2nd Bravo, and I have little confidence that this version will last. I've considered the TQ6+, but it's just too expensive and it's impossible change the handles. So the Fulcrum throttle is it.

After reading some of the posts here over the last few months I was very glad to see a new email from Chris.

As one of the early pre orders with my my first yoke had a failed plastic gear and after Chris resolving what the issue was I had a replacement. About 4 months later I contacted Chris about my yoke coming lose because the yoke mounting part was spreading apart and I put a hose clamp around it and prevent that. Some time later Chris had a replacement yoke mount that was much stronger and he then sent me a replacement yoke which is the one I use today.

With my history with Chris I will take him at his word and hope he can resolve any remaining issues over the coming months.

I wholeheartedly agree.

As Ray said above, Fulcum is not a scam company. I pre-ordered the yoke and received it. It is one if not the best yoke in the market. I also pre-ordered the throttle, which I hope I'll receive it once Fulcrum is up and running.

With the above being said, I agree that the lack of communication from Chris has been extremely disappointing. Taking other people's money and not updating on stock status is completely unacceptable.

However, now that Chris has told us what had happened, the best thing IMHO is to give him a chance to redeem himself.

Is the manual available for download? 

I have the Bravo. Build quality is ok and I already had to rma one due to squeaky throttles. But its adaptability is second to none. Hopefully one day they make one with hall sensors. 

I'm on my 2nd Bravo and I have little confidence that it would last. I've been looking for a better option with no success. Do y'all know if there's a TQ out there that can be adapted to multiple aircrafts but with better build quality with hall sensors?

Cheers!

How's the MK Studios version?

Do I just run the new 7.0 exe? Will it ask me to redownload all the sceneries again?

Do you think the Thrustmaster Airbus TQ is worth buying ?

They don't seem to be interested in that option unfortunately. Even their new TQ+ EVO does not have that option, and that one costs over €1200!
That new EVO looks great BTW, with reverse AND beta range for turboprops, and an optional motorised trim wheel module as well, but it will cost you an arm, leg and possibly a spouse.

The Fulcrum TQ would be ideal (hall sensors, 2/4 jet option) but it is unlikely it will be available soon, if at all. I decided not to wait for it and purchased the Thrustmaster TCA Captain's pack. It's throttle quadrant is quite good, even if it is made of plastic. It has detents which you can enable or disable and there are detend mods that make it even better.

I don't think Fulcrum exists anymore as the owner hasn't replied to emails or forum posts for months. I lost money on the throttle. Hopefully another company comes around and produces a quality throttle quadrant with hall-effect sensors that's adaptable to different aircrafts.

The only issue is you can't change the throttle lever heads for airliners. I wish VirtualFly offers a TQ for 2-engine/4-engine airliners.

Can you guys a recommend a 6 axis throttle quadrant with hall effect sensors?

I placed my order for the throttle last November and paid using PayPal. I don't believe I can get my money back anymore. It's a shame. It didn't have to come to this. Chris should've been more open with us. We could've helped them. Oh well. 

It works pretty well and the performance hit is not bad. I do see some pixelated patches though.

I also got the yoke and it's the best yoke on the market in my opinion. I also ran into an issue and Chris solved it quickly. Like others, I'm worried about Chirs and his well-being. 

I just wish Chris would just give us an update. I'm gonna wait one more week. If there's no more updates, I will file a charge back on my credit card.

I'm gonna wait for the throttle (Order #2931). Since it's been a long while since I placed the order (I had also bought the yoke before), would it be possible to have a nice discount on the jetliner levers for the throttle?

Nobody is using that scenery in XP12 ?

Waiting for Orbx to convert it to XP12.

Hello,

I recently bought XP12 and I'd like to install RXP. I also have the TDS GTNXi Gauge installed for MSFS, which also installs a Garmin trainer. Would there be issues if I were to install RXP?

Thanks!

I'd also like a status update. (Order number: 2931). Also, the last email I received from Fulcrum was when I ordered the throttle.

Hi all,

I'mm using XP12. I noticed tonight that the cockpit camera and external cameras on the Vision Jet are completed zoomed in. None of the zoom commands work. I can move forward and backward but everything is still zoomed in. All I see in the pilot view is the dashboard in very fine detail and extremely zoomed in. I downloaded other camera profiles in X-Camera and it's still the same.

Do you guys know what's going on? How do I fix this issue?

Thanks!
