Think I've found it. The right throttle was linked to elevator in FSUIPC. Not sure how but has to be user error ! Thanks for your help. R

OK. Honing in on something now. In the "FMC" calibration section, the side stick pitch is showing +8.81% (stick) when I have my Honeyconb Bravo yoke in "neutral". Have increased the null zone to 10% and now aircraft is showing 00.00% when the stick is showing 8.81%. I'll see how this goes now.

Appreciating your help. I'm not rotating at all. I have the stick fully forward all the way but despite this the nose comes up uncontrollably at about 80 knots+ in an uncontrolled way and just keeps going until I get tail strike. I'm at a speed where there is no way that I'll get lift off. R

Stab trim set in accordance with EFB setting e.g. "1/UP0.2" where I would use the trim will to set o.2 (UP) ready for TO.

All, This is probably a "me" problem rather than a "Fenix A320" problem. (I've had same issue with V1 and recent upgrade to V2). I run through the checklists, import flight plan from SimBrief, load aircraft via EFB, set performance as per EFB etc.. On take off, using TOGA, I am unable to keep the nose down despite full forward stick resulting in tailstrike and scenario closure. Initially, I thought it was because I was overloading the aircraft beyond MTOW but this is even happening on short flights. All controls are calibrate and working fine. Any clues what I doing wrong ? Cheers, R

Great idea and may do something like this myself one day. Note that you'll need some extra stops. For example: (x) NZWM - Wellington (Flightbeam) ( ) SCEL - Santiago (LATINVFR) There is no direct flight from NZWN to SCEL. Haven't checked but there may be one from NZAA so you'd need to go NZWN-NZAA-SCEL. You'll also need to change planes. You can get a 777 into NZWN (have flown out of here on the Singapore flight to YMML) but only with a light fuel load. You certainly wont get to SCEL. Have a great journey :-) Rob

Totally self inflicted this one ! I was playing around trying to get SODE GSXV2 working with my ORBX KSAN scenery and I've stuffed it. What's the best way to "reinstall" KSAN ? Is there a config setting that I can adjust so that FTX Central knows it is purchase but not there and it will reinstall it ? Cheers, R

Rob, Thanks for all the effort here. I’m about to move from a 4770K @ 3.5 to a 9900K @ 5 (both with the single 1080Ti) so not identical but as you say, it will provide me with a wealth of data for comparison - hopefully it will allow me to spot any oddities for further investigation. And I’m doing it all on a clean install though for others out there, don’t make the mistake I did and just wipe the drives and start afresh. I completed the setup and installed 4.4 on Friday evening only to have the activation bounce as I had failed to deactivate P3D first. And then the weekend began ..... have just had the email from LM resetting my activation so can, on Monday evening, give it a go at last 😳 Talk about self inflicted pain ..... (BZ to LM by the way - it must still have been Sunday evening where they are when they reset me - nice one chaps 😉) Cheers, R

Love SimStarter NG and have been using it for ages. Have it set up on two networked computers and run the client setup to get all my stuff launched in the right order etc. Whilst the main programme has a "kill" option to shut down associated programmes when you exit P3D, the client doesn't. Understand there could be difficulties in either needing a second version of a trigger file - alternatively, perhaps an option to "kill" applications on loss of connection ? (Running normally, I have never had this happen so that might be a proxy, particularly if it is an option that can be disabled for anyone that does run into trouble). Cheers, R

OK - stupid me. It was the AntiVirus programme blocking it. All solved now. Doh !

Hi, I have version 1.6.4 (revision 12) installed and when I start the programme it notes that the latest version is 1.6.7 (revision 12). I'm running as Administrator. When I select "run update", a small window opens and says "up2date" - "Update not found on server!". I can ignore the update and the programme works fine (but clearly I'm going to get left behind over time) Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong here ? Cheers, R

Folks, I'm running ASCA and AS16 for P3DV4 in a networked environment. They were working just fine until I upgraded the drive on my P3D computer and hence had to re-share the access to the Prepar3D folder. For some strange reason, I can see the required location when I look in file explorer under "network". I can however access it fine if I type "\\FLIGHT1\FLT1-P3D-Drv" where \\Flight1 is the name of my main flight sim computer and \FLT1-P3D-Drv is the name of the shared folder. I have also mapped a drive from my second computer to this folder and that works fine too - expect mapped drives don't seem to show in the options when you start up AS16 and it requires the appropriate path. I thought one of the easiest things to do would be just to edit the required config file and try either of the above, e.g. \\FLIGHT1\FLT1-P3D-Drv or (where Y: is the mapped drive) Y:\Prepar3D v4. So the question is, where does AS16 store this little piece of info ? Thanks, Rob

Thanks guys - very helpful. @cathay808 Awesome - looks like we're both trying to do the same thing. I'm guessing the few frames you lose with the extra monitor you probably make up for in not having the VC on display ? This is certainly the sort of setup I'm heading towards. I have two 780Tis in SLI with three screens in surround. I might look at whether I have a spare monitor outlet that would work with this setup and an old monitor just to see if it would work. thanks for the link - at $150 it is worth a gamble if I can't get a spare monitor working or if any monitor I have spare isn't the right size. cheers, Rob

All, Currently going through a full reinstall of all of my set up starting from a clean copy of Windows 10 etc. (nothing wrong with the set up previously per se but had become bloated over years of odd software installs, etc.) Turning my mind to my age old issue of wanting to look out of the window rather than keep panning the view into the cockpit and was thinking about options for seperate PFD and ND displays. Ideally I'm after something that would meet the following criteria: - must work with PMDG (747 QoTS, 777, 737NGX) - at least with one and if not all three currently then working towards that in time (could be three different pieces of software by same supplier maybe) - must work with P3DV4 - can rely on fully paid up FSUIPC - preferably works on iPad but Andriod would be ok too (idea being that I could buy myself a second tablet solely for this) - needs to show real PFD, I.e. Connect with V speeds, flight director etc. ND needs to respond to range changes etc. (similar functionality approach to the FMC I use from Virtual Avionics) Project Magenta sounds a step too far for me. I've seem 'generic' type versions of the above but they don't do the appropriate speeds on the PFD for example. any pointers ? many thanks, rob

@guenseli Thanks and understood - realise there could be multiple sources for this (Just interesting that we both have the same X52 that I'm a little suspicious of). Not much progress from a day of probing, rebotting etc yesterday. I've noticed this moring though that I'm getting the "DriverFrameworks-UserMode" error as soon as I boot up - i.e. it isn't causing the crash at the time of the crash but is causing a critical error early on. I'll try hunting in this direction for a dit before I go back to trying to find out what is happening at the pointof CTD. Needle in a haystack anyone ? Rob
