Changing computers, I lost the doc I had on the calibration values for the 737
I remember that there was a trick but cant remember it !

I think the calibration is stored in the gauge. You should just be able to plug it in and run it with FSUIPC.

Failing that you need to download the calibration software from TRC.

Nope, (from "failing" memory) when you load the install it asks for values (for each flap setting)
looks like
Flaps 0=xx
Flaps 1= xx
Flaps 2=XX...etc :D

When I installed them on my sim, I was able to calibrate the gauge on my PC upstairs, then go install it in the sim, and it just worked. All I had to do on the sim machine was run the driver, no calibrating again.

Are you changing to FSX?

Will make a big leap to P3D fired by SimA which, in my opinion and after extensive comparative tests, is the best kid on the block for avionics and systems.
This will include 2 new strong PCs instead of the actual 5.
(I contemplated XPlane though!) ;D
I got the brand new MCP/Efis from FDS and I cant use it with my antiquated setup. Have to move on!
Reluctantly but I will. ::)

Jack, reconsider x-plane and SimA can drive it too.
