Hi Warren
nice pics and welcome back.
Note: I see on pic 2 a pair of eyebrows. If I remember well I sold them to Gwyn (Aerosim in Australia), and he later sold them to you. High milage parts!   :D

General Discussion Board. / Help with two issues in my coc...
Last post by fsaviator - March 01, 2026, 12:46:44 AM
Good morning

Two issues some of you may be able to help on.  I'm using Prosim737 v3.36 with P3D v4

First - I have one of the first Revolution Simproducts motorized TQs produced - controlled via SIOC in Prosim737.  All the functions seem to work for the most part.  My MCP is the CPFlight 737NG V3 Ethernet version.  I am aware that officially, Prosim-AR ceased to support the RS Motorized TQs somewhere around v 2.1, and that is why I continue to use a SIOC instance to control the TQ.

On take-off using TOGA, with A/T armed, I spool up to 40% and press TOGA.  Plane accelerates, and then throttles cut-out forcing me to increase power to Take-off thrust manually.  Once I'm airborne everything seems to work fairly well in regards to moving levers, speed brakes and spoilers etc.

On approach and just prior to touchdown, when I activate A/T disengage on the TQ, the A/T switch auto disengages on the MCP, but the TQ thrust lever motors do not disengage.

Second - due to limited AXIS on my Leo Bodnar card, I have mapped the Tiller to the CPFlight MCP Tiller connection.  It calibrates fine in Prosim737.  In sim however it doesn't respond forcing me to use my rudders to steer during taxi.

Thanks!

SHE's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My first full flight (KTNT-KTPA) since probably 2024 when I packed her up and shipped her to Greece.

Incidentally, yesterday I fired her up for the first since last May to finally get her flying and found myself at this post - an overhead acting up.  Now I remember why I took a break.  Regardless.  I finally figured it out!  COM port conflict.  That was a pain as the ANTI-ICE kept popping up and interfering with various things.

Now I can continue building (and flying).  Ignore the calibrations marks on my unpainted screen, and all the crap all over the place.

By the way, if you're in Europe and want a couple UPS, I have a few.  I put the whole house and property on a massive UPS and a 60KW generator.  I was sick and tired of these power failures burning out my hardware

You might also check out Karl at DIYSiM.  He's already done all the work.  For the prices he's offering - save your time and put it into flying - unless the design and building is what you like - then have at it.  I can tell you from experience though, after 22 years of designing, cutting, printing, soldering...  I'm on 737NG build number 6.  Today I took my first full flight since this time in 2020.

Builders Discussions / Strange blaster Z issue..
Last post by Mach7 - February 26, 2026, 04:14:13 PM
I have a question that nobody seems to be able to answer.

I have Jetline systems computer that runs my sim that I purchased back in 2016. I'm running widows 7 and the system is not connected to the internet. This "offline" status was two fold as i do not have any antivirus software on this machine and I found Win 7 updates, (when they were available), would render one or more subsystems incompatible, forcing me to delete the update to get my pit up and running again.

Regardless the system has operated flawlessly for 10 years until a couple of days ago.

When I booted the computer I did not hear the normal windows start up "logon" sound and saw a text buttle that said "device driver download successful". Once the bubble was cleared I noticed that my Sound Blaster Z was not even recognised.

I reset the computer with the same result, then ran computer restore and restored my system to an earlier date and time. That didn't work either.

I shut off the computer then came back hours later and everything worked perfectly. I then restarted the computer again and again, with no issues with the sound or sound card.

I figured it was just a glitch until I tried the system the next day..and it didn't work, (no sound).and the associated "device driver downloaded successfully" text bubble.

Its sort of hit and miss now...sometimes i turn the unit on and it works with sound, sometimes i turn it on and it doesn't work with sound.

I tested the system a day or so ago and it didn't work, (no sound), then when i came back to night after being away for 2 days, it worked

Nothing else is effected by this issue...FS9 boots normally and all my subsystems function properly....just the sound card.

I checked all connections, with no issues found.

I initially thought it was downloading a new device driver that was not compatible, but dismissed that idea when i re confirmed the computer was not connected to the internet.

I call Jetline systems and they seemed a bit miffed as well. They suggested a new Sound card...but can a sound card go bad like that?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hello All,
I want to try doing some round the world flights and I thought the World Flight Routes would be fun to try. I have the latest one for 2025, I believe it is, but I was wondering if there is a database that stores past world flight routes that a person could download and fly? I can only find the 2025 route at World Flight Home.

Quote from: Westwings7 on January 10, 2026, 04:46:01 AMThats a real shame if all that valuable info is gone and especially the FDS boys pinned references to setting up etc

Don't people do backups !!

I have to agree, so much valuable information in that forum.
