• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Ghost Clicks

Hi,

Since I've installed and used FSX +Acceleration pack, I have what I name "Ghost clicks".
Using SAITEK Yoke+ 2 Throttles blocks (6 levers) + Rudder, I've programmed FSUIPC like that:(From left to Right)
Lever 1: Spoilers
Lever 2: Throttle 1
Lever 3: Throttle 2
Lever 4: Throttle 3
Lever 5: Throttle 4
Lever 6: Flaps

Lever 2 to 5 down position (as switches): Reverses 1 to 4

Block1 switches
T1 up: Display Chrono
T2 down: Parking brake
T3 up: Engine 1 sarter
T4 down: Engine 1 fuel valve
T5, T6: Engine 2 starter, Fuel valve
Block 2 switches
T1 to T4: Engine 3 and 4 starter, fuel valve
T5: Start timer
T6: stop timer then reset.

Button A1/A2 on yoke: Elevator trim.
B1/B2: Gear up/down

This setting is allowed to PMDG 747-400.
I'm under W7 ultimate x64

I have thos "Ghost clicks" at any time randomly causing:
AP disconection
Engine 4 shutdown
Reverse engaged without command.

The SAITEK drivers are up to date

In device manger I see two devices for Yoke, Quadrant, and Rudder, one in USB mode, one in HID mode.

Anyone have an idea about this phenomena?

Thanks for help

Regards
Pierre
 
Check if the buttons don't randomly trigger by checking the whole button setup
If the button itself is causing these clicks, get the button fixed.
 
Thanks Amahran,

I've already open the devices to clean up them, lubricate the axis (yoke).

The issue seems having for origin the elevator trim button and the engine 4 fuel valve one.
When disabling them, all works well.

I don't know if the issue is either soft origin or hard.

Regards
Pierre
 
Ah
I had a problem like that with my joystick rudder (Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2)

I would suggest calibrating it when FS is not running. If the computer detects signals coming from the setup when it's not touched, I would suggest cleaning the wire connections, and then taking it to a repair center under warranty if cleaning the connections doesn't work.
 
Your sensitivity settings may be too sensitive. I've had problems with my controls not centering completely... lowering the sensitivity helped.

Hi Rhumbaflappy,

Thanks for reply, but I don't think about sensitivity because only switches are concerned by the issue.

So, I use FSUIPC to set my devices and I don't think it has sensitivity setting neither for axis or for switches.

Friendly
Pierre
