Hi Nick,Nick M wrote:Hullo Alan - don't despair just yet; I'm sure we can get you sorted between us.
So to summarise: you've got the proper P3D version of the 172 installed in P3D v3.4 with both SimConnect and the latest Accu-Sim update installed too? But your hardware yoke doesn't work on the A2A 172 and instead it controls the trim and flaps?
This definitely sounds like a controller conflict so can you let us know if you use the basic control settings in P3D to assign control axes, or some external software such as FSUIPC or Saitek's own software?
There are also a couple of things you can try. Firstly, check that you don't have any control assignments in the A2A C172 Input Configurator (available from within the Windows Start Menu).
Secondly, make sure you don't set P3D to load the A2A 172 as part of your default flight. (It's best to use a simple default plane like the Baron instead.)
Thanks,
Nick
Thank you for your concern and help. Your summary is perfect. My default flight is the Mooney, but I do not open it, I change it to the Cessna 172. I only use P3D to try and input flight axes etc. They show in the input area as there i.e. I can 'change' the elevator command, move the Yoke and the change shows, same with rudder and throttle, they are recognised as inputs in the options, click OK and go back to the cockpit, yoke and throttle still dead. Do you suggest I open and fly the Mooney, and then bring up Cessna? I did not mention it, but there us only one cockpit the virtual one, go for cockpit and you simply see the runway. There has been the occasional fleeting warning at the top of the screen, saying something like 'faulty installation will reinstall' although nothing visible changes, when the Cessna first appears. Thanks for your energy `Nick, this old man is now packing up for the night. Many thanks, I will be fresh in the morning. I will be delighted if you 'figure' it out. There is only so much you can do on the screen! Blessings.....Alan
