Flaps 401 Error

[ralmav]

Hi,
i just tried to recalibrate my flaps (cause new Offset with TSR B737NG Flap setting) and i'm getting this 401 error.
I use 4.3.5 and msi 2.1.2 from 17.10.07.
Any help appreciated :-)
regards

Ralf,
Are you sure its 401 thats means unathorized entry meaning either bad password or server has blocked you entry or your url if its a 404 then that means not found meaning that it cant find your request? Not sure what would cause a 401 in this case.

Hi Tim,

i've just checked it again:
I select FLAPS_HANDLE from the FS Var Assignment pulldown list. I press Configure command button. I select Set Flap Gauge radio button. I get error:

Run-time error '401'
Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed.

Any Idea?

Hi Ralf ,
I had the same issue(Run-time error'401') while back,I had to change the FS2Phigdet.exe to a newer version!!! My computer is down for few weeks so I have no accsess to my FS2Phidget files for now. Why don't you ask Alan to send you the new FS2Phidget.exe file.
Cheers,
Phil

Thanks Tim , Phil, i will do so.

BTW - I'm on a change to handle the "High" values instead of only 0 to 8 for Flaps control.
That means you need to define then the Flaps lever position with its value to TSR-Boeing 737-NG program, but is just only some Button presses and not more (as easy as possible).
An Update will be online at night or tomorrow.

That's definitely a program error in f2phidget.
I thought i had fixed error some time back, but I will re-check.
One never knows.

Here is what I have just tried:

I uninstalled my current version of fs2phidget 4.3.5
Downloaded latest version (4.3.5) from this web site
Installed.
Fired up FS2004.
Connected Phidget Servo (so that I can test Flap Gauge radio button).
Fired up fs2phidget 4.3.5
Assigned Flap Gauge from FSVariables431.ini from drop down.
Pressed Configure... command button
Pressed "Set Flap Gauge".
The flap gauge setting form was displayed - no error.
Work fine for me!

Regards,
Alan.

Hey Guys i am too getting this same fault 401 when trying to set the flaps.

i was running 4.3.1 so i downloaded the newer version 4.3.5 but i still get the same error 401 non modal somthing.

Did anyone find a solution to this ?

i can get it working ok with the emulator but just not with the actual 8/8/8 ?

[ralmav]

Just completely uninstall and reinstall 4.3.5...that did the trick for me.
Thanks Alan :D

Ralf pointed out to me that:
Calibration is not needed anymore anyway, cause Thomas changed the Flaps installation in his great program!
You don’t have to calibrate in FS2Phidgets just set the Flaps-Handle offset to 6DB5 with FsVariable editor ...select it in FS2Phidgets for your hardware handle...that’s it.

Regards,
Alan.

[ralmav]

Yes, but only if you use the TSR B737-NG program.
If not,of course you have to calibrate your Flaps-setting.

Thanks i have tried this twice still with no luck, i might clean the program and phidget libraries out and re-install and see if that fixes it, in the mean time im open to any suggestions as to what is causing this error.

Hey guys,

I cleared everything and started from scratch, ive got no idea how it is working but it is. No matter what i did i always get the 401 error if i press the configure flaps button however i clicked on my views tabs in MSFS to view the throttle quad and low and behold the flaps lever is moving when i rotate the pot without any sort of calibration. The only thing is that once the pot is installed in the TQ it will not be easy to make sure that the value of the pot corresponds with the lever in the aparent preset config.

i would really like to know what this 401 error is and how we can get rid of it so correct calibration can be carried out, however for now i can keep building the TQ and hopefully a solution will be found in due course.

i am still open to any suggestions if anyone has any ideas ?

Ozzie,

I figured out what the bug was.
FS2Phidget4.3.6 fixes bug
and has been uploaded to this site's download page.
Should be available any sec.
