CHAPTER 6: Trouble Shooting
How do I connect fl ight controls to my computer?
Yokes, joysticks, and rudder pedals can be plugged
directly into the computer’s gameport (IBM), or USB port
depending on the connection(s) required by each.
ERROR MES SAG ES
“No elite control interface detected, fl ight will be halted
after 3 minutes”
This error indicates that the program does not recognize
the UCI box. The proper way of testing the UCI is by
double clicking on the PROP/PCATD icon. Immediately
after the last click, hold down the “C” key on your keyboard
until a box opens that allows your com port to be selected
and tested. You will need to select one and test it. After
pressing the test button, you’ll see a window with your
serial number. Compare the number displayed with the
one on your software. If there is no serial number, the UCI
is not communicating with the program
To fi x this, disconnect the power on the UCI for 5 seconds
and connect it again (resets the UCI). If problem persists,
your com ports might be disabled in your system BIOS.
If you do not have any com ports to select from on the
menu, you will need to go in to your system BIOS and
change your com ports to an active address (you will need
to consult with the manufacturer of your mother board for
more info). Please make sure that you don’t have any palm
or syncing software running in your task bar.
If you do not have a UCI box and you have a USB Key
and you still receive this error, you will need to check your
windows control panel in the WIBU section. Consult the
diagram below for the two important items to look for.
