Maybe just as well! I hope the price is right for the goflight yoke. Having full sets of switches on the joke really does help. (Thanks for posting the link.)

Thread is not dead just yet. I've been sort of busy building fsx projects with the arduino interface boards. I've never got to use the trim wheel but is works as switches also. And it is pulsed per arc of travel. Trim up/down leds flash on each pulse for user feedback. Pulse rate depends on how fast you turn the wheel. Assigning a triminc or trimdec keypress per pulse in fsuipc would then make trimming, rate dependant. How much angle per keypress as a value would have to be set in fsuipc I would imagine. "Can those unused connectors inside the casing be used for something in combination with FSUIPC (like gear toggle sitch or trim switches) without having to buy more electronic components (other then the switches)" YES! 14 additional switches which are readily seen in fsuipc. There are a few more pots available aswell. Pot replacement should be straight forward but you probably need to order high quality ones in as replacements. Goflight should have the yoke business sewn up when they release their first model in a couple of days or so. Lots of buttons on a good looking yoke assembly. Would be worth a look.

Get it repaired. Sounds like a corroded connector or wiring. Do not throw it away.

I'm well into the modification of my VRinsight yoke. Now that I have time to fully investigate the possibilities of modifiying my yoke, I have discovered that I have made an observation that is totally incorrect. My yoke shaft is indeed hollow as you said Alan, and sincerely apologise to all for stating otherwise. This will make passing switch cables throught to the control PCB oh so much easier. (Searching for inline connectors now.) Cheers, BrassEm.

G'day Alan, I can understand VRinsight's position. I'm sure what I have in mind with my switch configuration for the yoke would be totally different to the needs of other users. It would be hard to accommodate all configurations. As long as we can add functioning switches to the yoke with a bit of engineering then everyone will be very happy! I will be trying to get the maximum functionality that I can from the yoke handle without compromising the great comfort and ergonomics that it has. I love flying both Military and Commercial heavies so I need to cater for both, which means it will be a generic switch fit out. Cheers, BrassEm.

G'day Alan, I've been looking very very closely on all the requirements needed to configure my yoke, and try and work out any issues before I go ahead and modifiy it. I hope to post soon. (Pics of course.) Cheers, BrassEm.

G'day Alan, I hope the yoke mod is going well. How is it working out? VRinsight have been very helpfull with my enquiries about reconfiguring my yoke. It appears they are receiving requests from others as well, and are responding to that. I am looking forward to see how this develops. It would be great if you could post photos if you can. Cheers, BrassEm.

LINDA module for the Virtavia Tornado F3 Download: Virtavia Tornado F3.zipVersion 1.0: First release.IMPORTANT: MCP COMBO Panel functions may take a while before they function while the Tornado "synchs" with FSX. (Can be up to 30 seconds on first load.) Comments: I know this is a fun "stick and rudder" aircraft, but while in a "Pea souper" it's nice to have the full AP functions there. Please view the included PDF file for the MCP COMBO programming as defined with this LINDA module. Also refer to the Viravia documentaion for the appropriate aircraft functions. Pretty much all the functions have been coded, but not all functions have been set to a Panel switch or knob. This is the first of many I hope. If there are any faults or suggestions please let us know. Many thanks to Crum and Guenseli for sharing LINDA! Cheers,

Hello Crum,I have several aircraft model type entries in the SimObjects directory that I would like to have programmed with the one LINDA profile. ie. IRIS PC-9, IRIS PC-9A into the one LINDA profile IRIS PC-9.Is this possible with LINDA or would I need a seperate LINDA profile for each SimObjects aircraft entry?Cheers,BrassEm.

G'day Alan,I had some time and was trying to find the connectors for the PCB and came back to this thread for the PCB pic, and saw the new posts. Thanks for the heads up on the hollow yoke shaft. I will see if I can purchase one from VRinsight and do a retro fit. I trust you got your calibration issue sorted? I went to using FSUIPC (registered) to control all the axis as I'm using many input devices. (With the ability to profile different hardware setups.) How is the cockpit going? and were you able to add additional switches?Cheers,BrassEm.

Hello Roland,I did a quick test and created a profile for Jet with Yoke and Jet_with_Yoke for the Captain Sim B707.I can confirm that .Jet with Yoke or .Jet_with_Yoke is not appended to the [Joystickcalibration] with either profile name so I would imagine it would be the same for [Axis] and [buttons] as well.It looks like a FSUIPC issueCheers,BrassEm.

Hello Roland,Is sounds like there are axis entries that preceed the profiles section of your FSUIPC4.ini. This is quite easy to do if the profiles control is not checked when assigning new axis controls. If you are not familiar with the .ini's, perhaps you could pm me or post your .ini file to confirm that this is what has happened. (Your profiles should still be there.)Cheers,BrassEm.

Hello DennieT,Try run LINDA with administrator rights enabled.Cheers,BrassEm.

Hello Andy,I can confirm that using just the profile feature, (Which you have to enable in FSUIPC), does exactly what I needed easily. I will just have to enter each aircraft as required. That way I can see what I actually use and unclutter my FSX aircraft selection GUI of redundant paints. (I know for a fact that MSCFS3 had a 256 aircraft limit. Highly probably that this is carried over in FSX too.)Thanks for the help!

Hello Andy,Thanks for the example.
