Flaps 401 Error

[ralmav]

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

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.

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.
