    Just purchased the Gladiator MKII Joystick very nice design but in problems with calibration. I was reading the manual to find how to do calibration and it didn't help me. Anybody does know how to calibrate it in order to make it work as the Logitech Xtreme 3D Pro stick? I am intended to use it with fs9, FSX, P3Dv4 and X-Plane 11 sims

    After months of reading, configuring, trial and error and much frustration I believe I have my eight GoFlight modules up and running. Thought I would pass along some of what I experienced, what worked and what didn’t. I was fortunate to have bought a PCI-E 5 port USB 2.0 expansion card in July 2017 when I began this GoFlight modules path. I was made by Syba, I bought it off Amazon for $30.54, and am I glad I did. In the end it is now running two 166’s, my MPC PRO, EFIS and my GF 46. All appear to be working fine as far as I can tell. All I have now is dashes on the MCP panel but I do believe it is functioning. The GF46 is functioning in my default aircraft, CRS, Heading,…

  4. Hello; I would like to configure this suite "CTRL + SHIFT + U + YOKELEFT" as rudder on P3D but I can not. To start in "Rudder (yaw left)" I press CTRL SHIFT U he recognizes but when I do the YOKE action to the left he does not recognize it. How to do ? I specify that I do so because I do not have a rudder ... :( Thank you

  5. I have been using the CH Eclipse Yoke and Pro Pedals for about 2 years now with out any issues. After a Windows 10 update last night, both the Yoke and Pedals have become unresponsive. Checking device manager shows the following error: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) {Bad Image} %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

  6. Hello everyone. I have not gotten an e-mail verification from SPAD.neXt's forums or answer to a support ticket sent two days ago, so I'm guessing the staff are busy or on holiday. I am hoping the experts that populate these forums can help me out instead. I have SPAD.neXt registered and I use it with the Saitek/Logitech flight radio panel and FSX:SE. I understand SPAD.neXt enough to be able to change the barometric display from Hg to inches. 🙂 However, I cannot figure out how to change the radio frequency display so that if, for example, I have 119.97 and I turn the small knob up, I will get 119.00 and NOT have the left number increase to 120.00. So basically I…

  7. From time-to-time I see a used Goflight-MCP unit come up for sale. This is the black version which is no longer in production. Does anyone know if these work, and if so, whether they function in a current P3D environment? I know there is a new MCP Pro version, but the earlier simpler version would meet my needs assuming they weren't discontinued due to some known fault. Thanks folks, Brian Vancouver, Canada

  8. Hello, I just bought and installed these very cool planes. But no matter what I try with FSUIPC I can’t get the throttles to work. Their manual says to try it a certain way but that didn’t work. I searched their forum but didn’t find anything helpful so I thought I’d ask here because there’s so many knowledgeable people on FSUIPC. I’m using a Virtual Fly TQ6 quad throttle device. I have FSUIPC set up on all my planes from A2A to all of PMDG’s planes and it works flawlessly. I don’t have anything at all assigned in P3D’s control section whatsoever, it’s all done through FSUIPC. P3D 4.4 - Windows 10 Pro - Aerosoft A318/319 - Very powerful Jetline PC…

    I could not get through to the Q400 forum, something is going on there, so I thought I would put this up here too and hope! I tore down my system, replaced the CH yoke, THQ and pedals with a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Throttle and a set of Crosswind rudder pedals. I have Chris’s 125Hz control configured correctly and can see I have good aileron, elevator and rudder control of the Q400 using CPAN. I’m in need of some direction as to setting up the throttle. I reinstalled FSUIPC and have no turbo profile, only a dual prop for my beloved DC3. I have not deleted my old Q400 ini file from the CH controllers. Should I? Then; Specifically,…

    I'm starting to get into twin engines like the Baron 58 and Seminole and am noticing I can use the throttle, prop and mixture levers fine in both aircraft with my CH Yoke. I can also use the mouse to control both prop and mixture levers individually but not the throttle for some reason. I can drag one throttle lever with the mouse but it will just come right back to where it was...won't stay where I drag it...the others work fine. Any ideas?

    Good evening. I'm coming back to P3D after few month hiatus and am having an issue with the rudder paddle (labeled "Z rotation" in the windows game controller test window; "RZ axis" in P3D) on my CH Eclipse Yoke. In P3D with multiple aircraft, I noticed the rudder was deflecting full left when I would turn the aileron (X axis) near full left. I tried to correct the issue by resetting the P3D controller calibration, as well as resetting and recalibrating the yoke in the windows game controller window. In the windows game controller window, when I was attempting to calibrate the yoke the rudder now showed full right deflection when the X & Y axis was centered, re…

  15. Happy New Year!I discovered a problem with my GoFlight MCPPro VS wheel. Apparently, it will only make commands in one direction. Regardless of which direction I rotate the VS wheel, NUP o NDN, the result is an increase in vertical speed rate. It's not software related unless its in GoFlight's Config software(?). I used the CHKMCPPro software that GoFlight furnished me years ago and confirmed that any movement of the VS wheel up or down will generate only a NDN command increasing vertical rate. I suspect there is a hardware issue. The unit is at leat 13 years old, if not more. First, has anyone here experienced this problem? Anyway to fix it? One of the reasons I am …

    I was just wondering on any joystick/sidestick recommendations? Had a pipe burst at home that took out my current old Thrustmaster Hotas kit so I guess nows the best time to replace/upgrade. I mostly fly the bus FF/FSL versions these days so any good recommendations? I like the twist feature as a cheap tiller so thats preferred but Im open to any other ideas for tiller as well.

    My X52 Pro has started dropping profiles while I am using it in FSX-SE. It's very annoying! In a short two hour flight I had to clear and reload the profile multiple times. No particular pattern of events that precedes losing the profile and the time interval between loading and dropping is random. My setup is Windows 7/64, 8GB RAM, minimum 500 GB SSD drives. I use SPAD.neXt for my flight panels, but do not use it at all for the X52 Pro. I am also using Radar Contact v4.3, Little NavMap, UTLive, and FSX WX. When it happens, the profile I loaded still appears to be there but it is not "active", i.e. none of the buttons respond as expected. They respond, just no…

    As of yesterday when I connect my GF-Pro Yoke to my PC the mouse cursor disappears from my desktop screen. It seems that the mouse cursor is in the bottom left of the screen because when I left click I get the Windows 10 Start Menu up. I am currently on Windows 10 - v1803. If I then disconnect the GF Yoke then the mouse cursor re-appears and is working OK. Changing the USB port for the yoke connection doesn't improve matters. I have searched for help but not found any as yet.

    To keep this post short. Is there anyway to make the Saitek throttle quadrant work without the saitek flight yoke? I have the old style throttle with the old connector and will be moving to the Yoko yoke in a couple of weeks, since Virtual Flys throttle is also very expensive, I would like to use the Saitek throttle with Yoko until I can scrape up enough funds to get the VF throttle.

  25. I just bought & installed the switch panel. I also have Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, throttle quad and rudders. I’m pretty good with IT in general and FSUIPC and Lua scripts. So i’m very happy with my FSUIPC profiles I have been playing with a trial version of SPAD.neXt but I’d really rather just use FSUIPC. I don’t have the radio panels. I downloaded the Logitech plug in (P3Dv4) and panel test software but I can’t get P3D to recognize the switch panel. When I run the test software the LEDs and all switches work so I know Windows is recognizing the panel. I’ve looked at the Device Manager and initially there was an unrecognized USB entry which I think I’ve resolved.…
