We are running Prosim 737 (last version supporting Revsim TQ) with MSFS 2020 and Windows 11. We have tried to recalibrate our Revsim TQ using calibration software version 1.7. but get the error "HID not detected" (also tried using Windows 7 with same result). I read on your forum that a user back in 2017 was able to successfully recalibrate using version 2.2.05 under Windows 10. The TQ appears to be a plug and play version and not using SIOC.

If anyone is able to send me a copy of version 2.2.05 it would be very much appreciated.

Thankyou

Neat idea there, an answer to a common problem. I have always spent hours remaking the panels. And they're never as good as the originals.

Unexpected method but clever and obviously effective !

Hello All,

I have been scratching my head on how to refurbish my BAe146 panels for some time now, and through trial and error I have come up with a pretty slick solution that hopefully my fellow builders can try as well.

In the beginning I would try and clean these panels, however the outcome was questionable when exposed to any kind of soap + water. I even tried Methyl hydrate and, although that seemed to work in some cases, most of the time the panel would be left dull and unappealing.

Light sanding and painting was the best option, however as everyone knows one has to cover the legends so the little groves don't fill with paint.

I thought of a number of options, one was of course the obvious....mask off the letters, but this was tedious and time consuming and found using an xacto knife to cut around the edges would leave marks and scratches in the material.

I then thought there must be some way to somehow "fill" the engraved lettering...paint the panel...then remove said "fill" leaving the panel like new.

I tried many substances, wax, white out, water based paint, crack filler...but nothing worked...or it worked but left the panel looking worse than when i started after truing to dig out the dried aforementioned substance(s).

I then thought of something crazy...what about toothpaste??

Toothpaste...which is thick enough to fill the indents and easy to apply, not to mention very soluble once exposed to water, which is of course a necessity  following the paint application.

So this is what I did..i used sensodyne green mint...(green for the color as the letters were white and it would allow me to confirm good coverage), I masked around some of the legends, then used a flat small xacto knife to smooth the toothpase over the lettering...let the toothpaste dry, (it takes around 30 minutes), remove the masking, then inspect each letter/number and use a a dap of paste here and there to cover any exposed lettering.

The paste will shrink a tad once its dry.

Take a hairdryer on very low heat to help the process, then spray the panel with aircraft grey paint RAL 7011.

Wait 30 to 40 minutes, until the paint is dry to the touch, and use water and a soft cloth to remove the toothpaste...and voila...a brand new looking panel!!

Hello Kyle,

That is a very nice panel setup on your TR182RG!  We owned a Cessna TR182RG years ago.  It was a great aircraft.  Maintenance on the Turbo and Gear were high, but overall, it was a wonderful aircraft.

Hello Les,

Nice F-18 Sim setup!  The warping software (FlyElise or PixelWix -- actually the exact same software) is typically setup as a single monitor , using the Nvidia Surround function.  To use monitors with DCS, you will need to make sure that the DCS monitor settings are set correctly.

It's important to understand that DCS expects the "game monitor" to start at X=0 /Y=0 position.  If you are exporting other DCS information, eg. IFEI display, then you need to make sure that the .lua file in DCS MonitorSetup is configured correctly as per the Windows Display settings/layout you have for your Sim.

In my case, I am using three (3) 4k Monitors.  The total display resolution is 11520 x 2160 as a single monitor, as shown in the DCS game Settings.

I am guessing that if you have a warped display using FlyElise, it is represented as a single monitor in Nvidia.  Anyway, if you let me know more about how you currently have your DCS displays configured, I might be able to offer more help.

Here's a photo of my F/A-18C Sim setup...

Mike

Hello everyone,

I would like to briefly introduce AEROIO to the community — a project that might be interesting for many home cockpit builders here.

AEROIO is a fully modular hardware and software system for flight simulation, designed for users who want to avoid complex setup procedures, configuration files, or programming. The goal is to provide true Plug&Play functionality — no mapping, no scripts, no coding required.

The system is developed cross-platform, with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) currently being the primary target, but it is structurally designed to support other platforms (Prepar3D, X-Plane, and more) as well. The focus is on long-term scalability.

Key features of AEROIO:
- Modular hardware units with fixed terminal blocks (example: Parking Brake LED = Terminal 5, TQ    Motor Control incl. Force Feedback = Terminal 20)

- Automatic module detection by the software (hardware IDs are fully self-identifying)

- Complete integration of motorized components (e.g. full 737 Throttle Quadrant incl. motorized Speedbrake, motorized Trim Wheel, motorized Throttles with full Force Feedback)

No manual assignments or software mapping required

Designed for both casual home cockpit builders and advanced sim users who want a stable, scalable architecture

Long-term support for multiple simulation platforms

We are currently in the internal development and test phase.
In parallel, we are actively building up a small early community and are already starting with initial beta tester recruitment.

You can find more information on our project here:
👉 AEROIO Facebook

Any questions, feedback, or contacts to other sim enthusiasts are very welcome.
We would also be happy to exchange ideas with other builders here.

Best regards from Sauerland (Germany) — André

Hi everyone,

my name is André, I'm from Germany and have been in the cockpit building and engineering business for more than 20 years now. Professionally, I have been running my own company in mechanical engineering and industrial automation.

I started flying gliders at the age of 15, moved on to motor gliders, and later transitioned into motor flying.
Since I have a strong background both in aviation and in hardware/software development, I recently started working on a new modular hardware system for flight simulation: AEROIO.

The goal is to create a fully modular system for homecockpit builders which combines hardware and software into a true plug & play architecture — without complicated programming or configurations.

Currently I am still in active development, but I look forward to exchanging ideas, getting feedback, and connecting with other builders here.

Thanks for having me on board!

Best regards,
André

Nice plane Scott, and tidy hangar. I wish ours was that clean.

182's are great, and good job on the panel upgrade. Is that a G500 panel?

I bought a share in a TR182 a few years ago, and we upgraded the panel to a G3x based system. Just wish I had time to fly these days.

It's been a long time since I used the fly Elise software. 

As long as that monitor is not part of your warp, it should act in windows as a separate monitor and you should be able to use it. 

I suspect you're using a full screen warp which may not allow that monitor to be a part of the DCS desktop. 

Sorry not much help from me on the subject. May be a better question for the folks at Fly Elise.
