Hi John Mate the latest version numbers appear to vary depending on which site you are looking at. Is your FSUIPC Window showing 4.929c if not you can download it at the following link - Cheers Pete Pete Dowson, on 12 Mar 2014 - 7:29 PM, said: That is a big bug! I am fixing it now -- in 4.929c. I will advise when it is ready ... Okay. Download FSUIPC 4.929c. It is also shown in the Download Links subforum. Pete

Hi John Do you have FSUIPC installed? if so read on - Just had a similar problem using the Reality XP 530W as a popup in the Aerosoft Twin Otter. Similar problem FSX crashed when I changed legs in the GNS530 or also if I left FSX paused longer than a minute or so which started randomly sometime after the Active Sky Next Upgrade. Finally found an error in windows event manager that mentioned FSUIPC and Active Sky Next as being active at the crash. Long story short I checked out Peter Dowsons page and downloaded the latest version 4.929 (unzipped and installed shows as 4.929C ) Fixed my problem and no crashes since. The readme file says " FSUIPC4 now cooperates with "Active Sky Next" (ASN). Two specific changes apply: first the hooks normally applied into the FSX/P3D weather system for FSUIPC's smoothing actions are not performed when ASN isactive, as it uses those hooks itself." Hope this is of some help - best of luck. Cheers Pete

Hi Teddy Sorry for the late reply I've been away - I'm not sure if you have got the trim assignment sorted yet but if you haven't there is a very easy way to set up the elevator trim to a rotary on the Saitek throttle or any I would think (I use the "I" Rotary on my X52 Pro) Start any A/C in FSX get into the VC and pause the Sim. 1 - From the pull down menu open up FSUIPC. 2 - Open up the Axis Assignment tab 3 - Rotate the Rotary switch you want to use and you will see a joystick # and Axis number (mine was U) and values in the In and Out windows (mine were 16383 to -16383) yours will be similar. 4 - Hold down the rescan button and rotate the switch once more over its full range. 5 - Under "Type of action required" click in "Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration" 6 - Click in the LH box under this and a window will become active - use the arrow and scroll down and select Elevator Trim 7 - Click and open the "Joystick Calibration" Tab - you will see a window showing 1 of 11 Main flight controls with an Arrow to the right 8 - Use the arrow to open page 6 of 11 'Trim, spoilers and flaps" there you will see four windows - the LH top being the one you want 9 - Click the set button and you will see the in and out settings from the Axis Assignment window and three set buttons to the right - You can use it as it is (which I did to try it out - I found I had to tick the Rev box to get it acting in the correct sense for me) click save and go and fly. If you want to limit the usable rotation area just rotate the switch to where you want it to start and finish and click the set Min and max buttons respectively for each position. Hope this helps you out. Cheers Pete

Sorted - Been looking for a solution to this for a long while and the replies I got fixed it for me hope it helps you too Cheers Pete http://forum.avsim.net/topic/431154-elevator-trim-sensitivity-using-rotary-help-please/#entry2897911

Dan, onebob and Paul - You guys are Awesome Ive been surfing the net and other forums for ages and come across many other lost soles trying to find the solution to this and here it is. If I had asked here Friday I would still have the hair I pulled out Saturday ;-( This should be pinned in the Hardware and Controllers - Once again thanks Guys Hope the New Year is kind to you all Cheers Pete

Hi Jeff Thanks for the quick response. I have only just been game enough to retry assigning all my stick and Throttle buttons via FSUPCI today after owning a registered copy for a couple of years. I took me a couple of hours but It wasn't as bad as I thought. The reason I had to assign the elevator trim axis through FSX is that according to the manual the only way to do this in FSUPCI is by way of a string in the ini file and Im afraid the prospect of that make my old eyes glaze over. I was hoping that there might have been a way of altering the FSX.cfg file which I think I could handle (if its possible) however if some kind sole with "the knowledge" could show me a template script used on one of their rotary switches I'd give it a go. Thanks again Cheers Pete

Hi Guys I am using a Saitek X52Pro Stick and Throttle and have mapped one of the throttle rotary switches to the Elevator Trim Axis in FSX. It works fine but makes the trim very sensitive to change. Is there any way of calibrating this axis perhaps via the FSX config file or ?? Would appreciate any suggestions Cheers Pete

Hi Guys Ive been having a bit of a problem with my Carenado A36 Elevator Trim which seems to me overly sensitive. Ive changed the value in the aircraft config file from the default elevator_trim_effectiveness =1.0 to elevator_trim_effectiveness =0.7but it hasn't made any difference I can see - should I have increased the value above 1.0 or decreased it more? I'm using a Saitek X52Pro Stick and Throttle with the elevator trim axis in FSX mapped to my throttle rotary - Would appreciate any suggestions Cheers Pete

Hi Teddy I use the "I" Rotary wheel for elevator trim but not through FSUIPC. I just set it up direct in FSX controls in the axis tab - the only issue I've found is that it can be a bit sensitive for some addon aircraft. I'd post a screen shot for you but I'm in the process of a complete FSX reinstall if I can ever get FSX Gold to run. Cheers Pete
